The best thing I love about this shot is not the perfect split, beautiful hands and a lovely facial expression (almost relaxed and effortless, smiling, while in the jump, probably all the way in it - just that is amazing), but the way all of the dancers seem to be connected. Its like they picked her up. She's almost holding hands with the girl on the right, and the line of her foot extends till the top fingertips of the girl on the left. It is a "definition of ballet" picture for me.
Really love this picture. Could I ask to use the picture for part of my school coursework? I'm doing an Extended Project Qualification on Choreography, and I'm looking at various dance types, the main one being Ballet!
