Ballet Studio Afternoon Photo Gallery by Richard Calmes at pbase.com

Ballet Studio Afternoon

I recently spent a few hours at the Gwinnett Ballet Theatre studio.
I wanted to capture a few images of each dance class from 3 year olds to teenagers. I also tried to capture a bit of the non-class activities as well!
None of these shots are posed. In most cases I waited on the young ones to get used to my presence.

If you believe this gallery has merit, Please vote so others may enjoy these young artist/athletes.
