Tanya's School of Dance Shoot


This shoot, for a local dance school, was a very enjoyable shoot, as it was packed full of energy, movement and attitude.

Tanya's School of Dance is a village based dance school, holding after school and weekend classes for kids in and around the surrounding area, catering for various dance styles such as street, disco, tap and ballet.

The dance school's owner, Kerry, was on the look out for a photographer to help promote the dance school and cover workshops and shows, and having been personally recommended to her by a previous client, booked me for a shoot with her and two of her dance teachers, Nathan and Rebecca.

We started off with a casual tracksuit look against a white hi-key background, which I had set up in a local hall, and as well as the usual posed shots, also did some action shots with the help of some dance moves and a mini trampoline!

The trio then changed to High School Musical themed outfits for the second part of the shoot, with the High School Musical theme proving to be a massive hit with kids these days, and also moved location in to a dressing room, with the resulting shot due be used by Kerry for leaflets and the school's website to promote the theme.

The shoot was such a success that I have since covered an Easter half-term workshop, capturing the event as a 'fly on the wall', helping to document the workshop on the school's website. News of this to follow...
