I am constantly intrigued by the multiple talents of my dancing friends.  Sometimes I feel as though I’m always discovering another dancer’s gift, other than dancing, that I didn’t know about.

Sometimes it is in a field that I might be more likely to expect such as teaching or choreographing because of it’s close relation to our daily job.  But I also have friends who also have beautiful singing voices, play various musical intruments, are photographers or filmmakers, cut and style hair, are massage therapists, yoga instructors, pilates instructors, design and build jewelry or clothing, are gourmet cooks (more on that one in an upcoming post!).

One of my most recent discoveries was Elisabeth Holowchuk and Stylish Ink

I met Elisa while Ballet Austin was working with the Suzanne Farrell Ballet this past fall.  I had already run across the Stylish Ink website and Elisa’s beautiful, sweet, streamlined, and of course balletically correct “stick-figure” type designs.  But I didn’t make the connection until at least a week into our companies’ partnership.

Elisa has a variety of designs that I just adore.  I think one of my personal favorites is the one of the five Serenade russian girls in sous-sous.

From her designs Elisa makes stationery, totes, apparel, and greeting cards such as the one shown below.

Like I said, I am constantly intrigued by my dancer friends and the things they can do.  I am always so impressed by them as well.  I felt like mentioning Elisa specifically this month because of her latest design of Awareness Tshirts.

Elisa designed a shirt that comes in various colors to proceeds from sales of these Tshirts go to support several different causes and foundations such as: The American Cancer Society, St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital, Susan G Komen for the Cure, and the Foundation for AIDS Research.

So many of us have been touched by cancer or disease in our lives, whether it is own battle or that of a loved one, friend or neighbor.

Let’s help make a difference!
