Making Beautiful Dancers






Get My Books
Richard Calmes


I recently spent two afternoons at North Atlanta Dance Academy photographing dance classes.
Michael and Kitty Garrison have been "Making Beautiful Dancers" since 1997. These young dancers range in age from 3 to 17 years. Classes included Ballet, Jazz, Modern, and Character.
I hope you enjoy seeing these beautiful dancers...under construction...as much as I enjoyed photographing them!

Great images, as always! This must have been a fun shoot for you, Richard. These little dancers will love to see these pictures in a few years, when they're dancing on the big stage.
