Down Syndrome Community Sweetheart Dance

This past Saturday I was privileged to photograph the annual Valentine’s Day Sweetheart Dance, held at the Highland Center in Bellevue. I have been the photographer at this event for ~20 years now, and it is always a lot of fun. The dance may have been held a week after Valentine’s Day, but that made no difference for this group! They came to dance and have a party, and that is exactly what they got. A great group of volunteers helped keep everything running smoothly. Pizza was served, and an amazing dessert table made up of donated treats was also provided. Entire families were there and taking part, with kids of all ages hitting the floor to show their best moves. Here are a few photos of the evening –
