It's International Dance Day AND Arbor Day!

This year, International Dance Day coincides with Arbor Day, so some of the ballerinas who ran off to dance their way through the wide world are spending it with the trees that have become their friends.



Others are dancing with or for their mighty friends...
 
Katie Boren, Dances With Trees

 

... and some, like Irena, are communing with the spirits of trees long gone.



A few of them did return to Shades of Gray HQ for some slightly more traditional International Dance Day activities...

But the question now is... how long will they stay?
