Hi:
The line of the leg and foot will show better if you have the foot bare (no tights etc). Also, close-ups of the foot including the ankle, and pics showing up to the calf or knee would also work as well.

You can contact us at our email addresses if you have additional questions:

forfeetssake1@verizon.net

OR:
forfeetssake@att.net (we are currently discontinuing this one, but it still works for now)

Thanks

I am very interested in your project. However, I am currently traveling for my job. But I will be moving to Pittsburgh this October, and will be visiting often throughout the summer. I was just wondering if this project is only hiring for right now, or if I can send in information for possible work once I am living in the Pittsburgh area.

Greetings,

My name is Marcus Slone, I do the scheduling for the project artist, and I would like to thank you for your interest in this project.

In answer to your question, we are currently looking for artists at this time, however,it is definately possible to reserve positions for qualified applicants as well.

If you would like to be considered in this capacity, I would need the initial requirements to be met so that I may make a presentation to the project artist in your behalf about your request.

The initial photos and information as described in the "dance.net" listing would need to be emailed, and then an on-sight interview would need to be scheduled to discuss your specific time frame(s) with the project artist.

If you are still interested, then you can reach me direct at:

"forfeetssake1@verizon.net"

Again, I thank you for your interest in this project.

Very respectful regards
Marcus Slone
