Dance rehearsal: up close and personal

One thing I love about being able to photograph dance rehearsals are getting to be so up close and personal. To be able to build a comfort level with the dancers to be present when they are working on dances. Rehearsals can be vulnerable because they are usually less than perfect. There needs to be a trust that I will not show them in a bad light. Of course, we get a good laugh at all the precarious in between moments that are in the outtakes. I’m sure if you scroll through their facebook pages they have posted a few.

Here’s some beautiful moments I caught of Rioult dance company that I love.
