“Dancing in all its forms cannot be excluded from the curriculum of all noble education; dancing with the feet, with ideas, with words, and, need I add that one must also be able to dance with the pen?” – Friedrich Nietzsche, 1888, Twilight of Idols

Known to many as “Caligater”, Cali Harris is a vibrant old soul who runs the daily gamut between Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins. She lives in Fort, studies in Denver, and hangs in Boulder. She’s pursuing her Masters in Social Science at the University of Denver and through her background in journalism acts as Social Entrepreneur and operates an insightful blog. She’s the type of person that you meet and think “I wish I enjoyed anything as much as she enjoys everything.”

I met Cali in Boulder yesterday to capture one of her truest passions, Dancing. She’ll groove to about anything but she’s peculiarly passionate about Salsa, Rhumba (which I assumed she meant a robot vacuum), and Cha-Cha. To her, dance is analogous to progress and movement through this life.

She’s been training and dancing for the largest part of her life and offers Private Lessons to all that are interested in letting the music take control, letting the rhythm move you, and pretty much Sweat. (thank you C+C Music Factory)

In all seriousness, email her at caligater[at]gmail[dot]com or Follow her on Twitter @caligater to discuss further and schedule a time to shake it.

[About this Shoot: After meeting at Trident Bookstore + Cafe and discussing possible locals for a nice dance shot, we ultimately decided to stroll over to the St. Julien hotel to check out the scene.

We spotted a sweet little gazebo spot out back on their patio with a perfect view of the Flatirons and were lucky to get awesome lighting for long, dramatic shadows. She began dancing and I began shooting. She must have been doing something right because as we re-entered the hotel the staff was very gracious for the entertainment.]
