Dance Portraits – Charlotte and Lillie

We’re back with more portraits of people who can do things that I (J.P.) can’t do.

Charlotte and Lillie have been dancing for many years and, based on these moves, have been working hard on it. Here Charlotte demonstrates what appears to be a still from that kung-fu/ballet crossover classic Pointe of the Dragon*.

And here you’ll see Lillie practicing her deadly “Grand Jet-Li”.

But when their feet aren’t acting as deadly weapons, they’re just amazingly graceful.

 …and, of course, lovely.

This shot was meant to be a light test. Lillie apparently relaxes by reenacting poses from Degas paintings.

But even ballerinas should get to play.

“Second floor: hardware, home appliances, and bendy, bendy teenagers.”

It’s always a treat for us to photograph dancers, and Charlotte and Lillie were no exception. Ladies, you were lovely, graceful, and tons of fun to work with!

*Pointe of the Dragon doesn’t exist, but it totally should.
