Boundary- and Border-Spanning Collaborations of Educators and Youths

Abstract

The Exact Moment[Jerome] was practicing a dance routine and preparing for the Youth Explosion that was coming up. This picture shows his determination and practice while he was running then jumping off the stage. I wanted to get his picture, but couldn't capture him in midair. He kept getting mad but ended up doing it over and over again until we finally got this action shot. This proves that even frustration should not get in the way of doing what you want, love and enjoy. (Tamara)
