The dance is a poem of which each movement is a word, said Mata Hari.
Talented American photographer Richard Calmes has managed to capture the beauty of dance, and his photo art is in high demand among collectors. These beautiful images decorate pages of national dance magazines, newspapers and periodicals, walls of offices and homes. The Southeastern Regional Ballet Association invited him to be their Official Photographer in 2006. Next, followed the Regional Dance America Convention in 2007, where he photographed 81 companies, and thousands of dancers for seven days.

The dance is a poem of which each movement is a word
On with dance, let joy be unconfined, is my motto; whether there’s any dance to dance or any joy to unconfined. Mark TwainJohn Milton: Dancing in the chequer’d shadeJudith Jamison: Dance is about never-ending aspirationThe truest expression of a people is in its dances and its music. Bodies never lie. Agnes George de MilleOn with the dance! let joy be unconfin’d; No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet. Lord ByronBallet’s image of perfection fashioned amid a milieu of wracked bodies, fevered imaginations, … and dancers know it. Shana AlexanderI would not know what the spirit of a philosopher might wish more to be than a good dancer. Friedrich NietzscheThose who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. John MiltonI am bit sending messages with my feet. All I ever wanted was not to come up empty. I did it for the dough and the old applause. Fred AstaireAnd the dancing has begun now, the dancers whirl round gaily In the waltz’s giddy mazes, And the ground beneath them trembles. Heinrich HeineCome, knit hands, and beat the ground In a light fantastic round. John MiltonBeauty of dance by American photographer Richard Calmes.
