Looking for ideas on how to pose your adorable young dancer? Finding great dance poses that new dancers can master is MUCH harder than it appears. Here's a great one that works for tap, jazz, hip hop, and musical theatre routines!

Looking for ideas on how to pose groups of dancers?
TCP = think cozy pyramids. ♡
I had the honor of photographing some lovely dancers. These particular groupings are for Jazz & Hip Hop routines.
Group of four Jazz dancers:
Group of six Hip Hop dancers:
Group of twelve Jazz dancers:
Aren't they cute? And all are amateur student dancers in various stages of learning the art and craft of dance.

This adorable young acrobatic dancer performed an unforgettable dance routine using this wheel and other props. And to top it off, her personality sealed the deal!

I call this "The Kelly Pose." There is something about this image that keeps drawing me in. It's definitely not the typical dance studio portrait. ♡

Once again, I was working on client orders for holiday deadlines and decided we would need to send a 'Happy 2012' card instead of a 'Merry Christmas' one.
There is a story behind this card (there always is, isn't there?!)...which I may tell someday...but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the front side of this year's holiday card. ♡

I love watching dancers develop their skills. This client is new to me this year, and she is absolutely lovely! Love this jazz dance pose for her portrait. She did a great job at recital!
