Between shooting the teams, we had time for individual shots. Here are few that I really liked.

I really like the dancer leaps. Recently shot something similar and know how difficult it is to get keepers. Great shots.

How high were they jumping?

Thanks for the comments!

All the jumps were pretty much from a standing still position. First 4 shots were on a 9' seamless, last shot was on our other setup using a 20ft wide muslin.

Only had two takes for #5. Luck was on my side for them to be in that position.

Wow, these are great. I was curious how you set it up. Thanks for including that last picture in your other post.

The single shots we taken on the 9' seamless over on the right. The last shot was on the wide setup.

Here's a shot of the setup.

I like the last shot on the first page and the view on this page.

Note:
I'm very happy that my 100 posts is on a dance. :)

Nice shots. You did your job great but I find the facial expressions on the dancers kinda..."too concentrated" would put it best. Their bodies says dancing, their faces say "just get it over with." Actually, I think the blond seemed really relaxed but the brunette was not. So I guess that I'm saying that it's also the photographers job to contol the models, so you should have said something to them. Other than that, the timing and lighting is great. :)
