Two girls mid-routine at the India Day Fair. The older one is already holding her form — posture, hands, the trained position. The younger one is moving through the same choreography from a different place entirely, still in the stage where it is just dancing.
That gap between the girl who is performing and the girl who is just dancing is what makes the image worth keeping over the others from the same sequence.

Dance photography is about tracking the movement to anticipate the peak. The body passes through interesting positions continuously . The moment of full extension lasted less than a second.
Black and white was the decision because in colour the eye goes to the fabric. Stripped of colour, the costume becomes architecture and the body's line carries without competition.
Patience and positioning. There are no other variables you control.

“Coming Through”. That was the name of the dance. I think it may have been choreographed by @mariehoffman23, my daughter’s dance teacher at the time. Can’t remember what the music was so Bowie will have to suffice for this post. I used a Mamiya 7 and Kodak Tri-X 400 film to make this photograph. #film #dance #blackandwhite #dancephotography #filmisnotdead
Dancers from Asakusa Kugawa theater in #Asakusa #Tokyo #Japan

Their ability to use lighting and costume changes to create much bigger stories than the small space allowed was inspiring. It was legitimately one of my favorite things in all of Tokyo - highly recommended.
