Unique and Colorful Ballet Photo Art in a Calender

Perfect for Girls of All Ages

ToeDancer is the ballet-themed store of Delores Knowles. Her ballet photography is unique and enchanting, blending vibrant photos of ballerinas with pretty backgrounds of over-sized flowers, clouds, the Stars and Stripes, and other images relevant to each month.

Although the graceful cover image below is lovely, it doesn't quite do justice to how full of joy and fun the dance photography is inside. The ballet dancers themselves are so pretty in elegant dresses, gauzy skirts and colorful tutus. See April dancing among giant flowers, a fairy-like August among the stars, and of course December in a winter wonderland.

Every month in this Ballet Calendar 2012 also carries a dance-inspired quotation to capture your imagination.
