About 18 months ago, we noticed a dance photographer pop up in our feed named Cobey Rouse, from Rouse Productions Since then, we've slowly watched his connection in the dance community grow - from photographing high school dance teams in his Lakeville, Minnesota community to traveling to UDA nationals with some of the most talented collegiate dance teams.
What's been even more fun to see is Cobey's approach to his photography and business. We've never interacted with a more humble and giving photographer, and his mission - to promote the sport of dance - comes through in so much of his work! It's clear he has a passion to elevate the sport, and this passion fuels his photography.
We asked Minnesota local, to give us a little more insight into his passion for preserving these extraordinary moments, particularly when working with dancers. Check out his answers and some of his work below!
