Dance Recital | Niagara Dance Photographer

It was Alex’s 12th dance recital with Miss Dar’s School of Dance this past weekend. I can’t believe she’s been dancing for 12 years and she’s not even 15 yet!  Every year I look forward to recital time – the anticipation, the excitement, the costumes, the dances, the smiles. I can’t imagine Alex not dancing – it’s such a big part of who she is.

Alex takes tap, jazz, ballet and pointe. Her favourites are definitely jazz and tap but most of my photos are always of her ballets – they’re just so beautiful to photograph! Here are a few photos from dress rehearsal:

Once again, it was an incredible recital. Miss Dar sure knows how to put on a show and all of the dancers were incredible. Lucky for me – I get to photograph all of the dancers in their costumes this week and next week. I’ll see you soon girls!

What is your secret? My daughters dance pictures were terrible due to low light. What lens did you use? I’m sure your talent and experience in photography didn’t hurt either. LOL You always do a wonderful job with your pictures. They are always so sharp and inspiring. Thanks for bloging your beautiful work.

These are just stunning. That first one would go up so big on my wall…

I was just thinking of you and your ability to capture such great recital shots… I remember discussing it in our workshop a year ago. My daughter just had her first recital and I did get a few good shots, but its tough. At least I know its possible and then seeing yours really is encouraging.
