Photograph by Roark Nelson, National Geographic Your Shot

Dancers get into position before a photo shoot at the Walla Walla Dance Company in Washington State. “I wanted to document the direction that the teachers gave the dancers,” writes Roark Nelson, a member of our Your Shot community. “With ballet, the photo can have perfect lighting and composition, but the dancers also need to have perfect form.”

Standing up like that on top of the tall furniture, whatever it is.

Still, the drama and grace of the dancer is really visible. Stunning.

Thank you, sweetie!
