Sara’s Story: A Photographic Journal For All The Dancing Kids In Pursuit Of Their Dreams

ADVERTISEMENT

Once upon a time, there was this project I did, called “Reflections of the Future Past”, a statement on how embracing your past will let you achieve your future.

There, I met for the first time, ten years old curly hair, Sara Ardeleanu, and I was amazed about the amount of talent and will that this little dancer had in her veins. I remember photographing and thinking of how expressive she is while performing difficult moves for her age with such grace and easiness.

So Sara’s Story came to life – a journal of this little dancer in pursuit of her dreams. Soon I realized that this is not only her story, but rather the story of all kids who are passionate about dancing and hoping that, one day, they will make it to the big stage. But in order to succeed they have to pass the three Chapters of Sara’s Story…

Chapter Three – The stage

Sara’s journey is filled with big dreams but also with the same amount of challenges. In her world, dreams don’t come true, she has to make them by overcoming reality.

How do you do that?

Well, you fall and fall…

… until you rise again.

Because without falling there is no way of exceeding expectations and transforming that big dream into reality.

This dude right here? He works as a Community Manager at Bored Panda. Has no back-story, cause his spine works just fine. He writes about himself in third-person, and in first-person about others. Fell in love with storytelling and cannot let that love go. Now, he's here to help you make your own story simply beautiful. Secretly makes cute music samples and writes stories in the dark that nobody has ever heard of before.

Photos capture the dancer at her best and all I can think is to wish her luck in her quest and thank the photographer for setting the mood and grabbing the moment.
