'Perfect Timing' Dance Calendar
Graceful and Sophisticated Ballerinas
These 12 enchanting photographs of ballerinas (and a baby ballet dancer) all share the same elegant photographic style.
The photographer, Doyle Gray, creates an intimate feel by isolating the dancers against their background, mostly by capturing them in the light against a dark and mysterious backdrop of a rehearsal space. All are shown in classic ballet poses, demonstrating the theme 'perfect timing'.

Balanchine Dancers Calendar
Ballet Elegance Redefined
George Balanchine and his dancers transformed ballet and created the American ballet tradition. This calendar celebrates the man and his dancers, and above all the Balanchine choreography.
The work of dance photographer Costas has been described in previous Balanchine calendars as "dazzling", "inspiring" and "maginificent". Expect more of the same in this one as dancers are captured during actual performances in full costume.

Unique and Colorful Ballet Photo Art in a Calender
Perfect for Girls of All Ages
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.
