There are many ways to express the beauty of dance with a camera. We can blur action (as I did in my image of Russian folk dancers at: http://www.pbase.com/image/20798795) or we can stop action as I do in this shot of a Native American dancer in mid-performance. What tell us that he is dancing is not his arms or feet, but the slight blur in the feathers that float above his head. This abstracted approach works as an expression of a dance performance because of the emphasis on costume, color, and facial expression. It seems as if he has danced himself into a trance -- his eyes are shut, mouth open, and his face is framed in the vivid primary colors of his costume. The rest is left to our imaginations.
