Foot loose - With wings at the feet

Waiting..

Dreams, hopes, illusions of dancers beginners.

They are willing to learn, ready to follow the advices of the teachers, they are ready to jump on the stage and spread their wings to fly away.

Some are nervous, some are anxious, some are afraid to not be able to dance on the stage, some are electrified to dance for the public, some will hold out before to start and some will fight to be the number one

They are young, they are proud, they are willing to fight, to challenge and to win.

They have power, they are tenacious but mostly they have still some dreams to be dreamed.

Tears of joy, tears of misconfort becouse the teacher is not satisfied and wants always the best, tears for the applauses received by the public after the long and hard performance

The dancers I've portraited are non prefessionals, they are all students of DE-HA School of Ballet in Ravenna Italy

they give what they have inside and they are never poors with the public. They have dreams, hopes and illusions
