Les Ballets Grandiva - Becoming Women #6

This is the result of long hair & makeup sessions. This is one of the many headhots I did of the dancers in full costume and makeup.

 

------

 

This series is from a recent shoot I did in NYC of the all-male comedy ballet company Les Ballets Grandiva. They are based out of NYC but perform mainly throughout Asia where they are VERY popular. These shoots were for images for their 2010 Japan Tour Program Book.

 

The company is all men and they dance both the male and female roles. Their repetoire consists of parodies of famous ballets, as well as original comedic ballet works. The men dancing as women dance on-pointe in tutus and the company members are all highly trained and skilled ballet dancers who've spent their lives studying the art.
