Ballerina Project is the magnificent result of a 17-year long project, mixing photography, dance, body and town planning. Of Hawaiian origin, New York photographer Dane Shitagi immortalizes classical dancers from prestigious troupes in unusual environments, far from their dance studios. Pictures in black and white, or colors, this book will certainly leave you speechless and make you want to get into classical dance.
Shitagi describes the project as follows: “The Ballerina Project is not ordinary dance photography but a representation of the emotions and hearts of ballerinas.”
