Default Dancers Frozen In Mid Air

At a dance competition this past weekend in Jackson was dance team from the Ukraine. The solo dancers were first in the line up so I used them to get my camera settings. As I watched them and shot the pictures I realized that they were more than recreational dancers. These girls are practiced and seemed to be well disciplined at their craft. The shots may be a bit noisy due to the ever present low light, black everything around and fast action. Enjoy.

They were. Thing about it was that they did it with little or no effort. They were like little Gazelles bouncing around everywhere.
