Invitation to Dance

This book is dedicated to the proposition that dance incorporates the elements and principles of the visual arts. Through various movements, dancers exhibit rhythm, movement, balance, contrast, line, color, texture, shape and form. Whether it is a professional ballerina performing on stage or in rehearsal, or students learning basic steps or people whose movements show expressive content, the Invitation to Dance book is a continuation of my artistic interpretive exploration of dance and dancers. The photographic images range from representational to highly abstract.
