We couldn't be more excited to be hosting the inaugural Pas de Deux Photo Conference and the gorgeous Arizona Grand.  It's grounds were made for dance photography, with acres of space with architecture, greenery, water features and more. The resort is nestled in South Mountain Park, a 16,000 acre park and preserve with rocks and boulders, saguaros and prickly pears and beautiful sunrises.

​

The 2020 Pas de Deux conference will take place at the Arizona Grand Resort at 8000 S Arizona Grand Parkway, Phoenix, Arizona, 85044. 

​

The luxurious Arizona Grand near South Mountain offers beautiful meeting space and even more beautiful grounds for photography.

The conference includes Photo Walks Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday. Let top professionals guide you in working with dancers on the resort grounds and golf course.

​

Photographers can also pair up with professional and pre-professional dancers on the resort grounds throughout the weekend to practice their skills and develop stunning portfolio images.
