Description
Model/Dancers Jeff & Kassi one day at the studio fooling around.We're using an old metal truss like the type used to hang lights off of onstage. It's chained to my ceiling beams but loose on the bottom, so the dancers are sort of counter-balanced. I have a lot of room in my studio but for dance I feel like I need something the size of a stage!

Honestly? A certain amount of it is natural ability, but the one thing all great dancers have in common is lots and lots of practice!

Thank-you! We worked at that a bit to try and pull it all together and not have it look like two unrelated poses.

Funny you should mention that Duke! I've been thinking about you and what I might say to thank you for suggesting this photo for a DD. The first day it was up it received 10,000 views, that's extraordinary and very gratifying.

Ah, the light and the poses are really, really amazing.
Alone to pull those poses off must have been very exhausting...
Also, I think the female model, Kassi, has a very expressive face.
And, as I mentioned before, the light is beautiful.
All in all, a really great shot. I congratulate you for the well-deserved DD!

I've always wished I could do what he is doing in this photo. Really shows strength.

Wonderful photo!! My god can you ask the female dancer if she would like to be a model for a personal portrait please? She is truly stunning, and gets my art brain thinking of creating some really great images! Crosses fingers

Thanks for getting back Kevin! I was actually thinking of an original personal work that I would illustrate 
She has magnificent tone and presence in the dancing shot, so as an artist, I'm very inspired to see more of her. Again thanks for getting back, and hope to talk to you soon.
