Alan 
				Tansky's career in photography spans over 25 years and in that 
				time he has created beautiful photographic images. Over the last 
				15 years his focus has been on capturing the beauty, emotion, 
				spirit and essence of dance that come from each and every 
				dancer. With a creative eye for action shots and key moments 
				during a performance, Alan captures each dancer's emotion in 
				motion! 
His experience has taught him that every dancer and 
				setting is unique. 
The most important thing to him in his 
				photography is you!
				 
				Xavier 
				Delavega:  Photography:  is 
				the expression of the vision in the minds eye ~  I specialize in 
				outdoor shoots delighting in adding a dynamic element to any 
				model, dancer, or subject. Indoor settings for shoots are 
				available as well; each will be specifially designed with your 
				taste, costuming and vision in mind. Assistants and make-up 
				artists are available when neccessary and upon request to ensure 
				that your shoot yeilds the perfection you deserve. Rates 
				are based per session, not by the hour. An average session can 
				range anywhere from 2-5hrs. Prices vary based on complexity and 
				location of desired shoot. Photography being my passion, I work 
				on an outrageously reasonable fee premise. I am delighted to 
				work closely with you to turn your vision into a reality. I 
				enjoy working outside of the box and providing you with the 
				photographic art necessary to promote yourself in a manner that 
				will express the true nature of your artistic persona.

				Tribal 
				Revival ~ Variations with Mimi Fontana:
				
				Excited for the release, I was even more excited 
				when my new copy arrived in the mail. I've known Mimi for about 
				6 years now. I  have taken workshops alongside of her and 
				watched her dance too many times to count. I know her ability 
				and talents so I had high expectations and  was not 
				disappointed. Let me begin by stating that Tribal Revival is not 
				for the beginner dancer. The moves and variations were designed 
				for someone with Tribal ( specifically ATS ) experience who 
				desires  to enhance their repertoire. One only need peruse 
				the review at the beginning of the tape to find this out. 
				Despite the complexity of some of the variations, Mimi's soft 
				spoken voice and elegance make you (at least) believe that you 
				can do it and, if not, you are going to enjoy the experience 
				nonetheless. The names of the variations are just as fun as the 
				variations themselves. Who else but Manhattan Tribal could come 
				up with such creative moves as 'Hey Taxi' and 'The Times 
				Square'. Besides the variations though the viewer should also 
				take note of presentation. Manhatten Tribal is known for their 
				painstakingly exact precision and timing in regards to 
				improvisational dance along with a clean and powerful 
				presentation. Tribal Revival is THE longest instructional video 
				I now own with a running time of 150 minutes. You definitely get 
				your money's worth and have a good time doing it. As well...I 
				truly appreciated opposing views when showing movements which 
				were executed by Mimi and one of her dancers. I find this better 
				then the use of a mirror  as a crucial component for any 
				improvisational format as dancers must know what's coming next 
				from a back view! Kudos to Mimi and the lovely ladies of 
				Manhatten for, yet again, another job well done. Recommended  
				for level 3 and above and/or seasoned dancers from other styles 
				who wish to give ATS a try.
