Mično pomično 2015 - Gathering of belly dance groups in Maribor @ Dom kulture Pekre, Pekre (Slovenia), 05/06/2015
Besides live music and festivals, dance is probably my favourite subject to photograph, mostly due to my fruitful collaboration with a dance school and production company Plesna Izba Maribor. So, when I got a chance to shoot gathering of local belly dance groups last week, I was immediately on board! :)
