The Dance

We work collaboratively with dancers to combine their talent and interpretation with photographic artistry and technical ability to produce unique, creative images. It’s a process that utilizes the best abilities of a team of creative people to showcase the beauty and grace of both the dance and the dancer.
The Dancer

Dance artists work hard, and it shows. We work equally hard to create images that showcase their unique talents, ability, and creativity. Since dance is temporary and pictures are permanent, we specialize in what we do best: Taking the time to show them at their best.
The Performance

The result of all the years of rehearsal and preparation is often a public performance of dance; We express the work, discipline, routine, learning, sacrifice, intensive training, stamina, perseverance, motivation, creativity, resilience, confidence, and adaptability that were needed to achieve this level of artistry.

Studio1761 is honored to collaborate with Selah Academy, a dance school directed by New World School of the Arts graduate, Brittany Kernohan.
Selah Academy’s mission is to change lives through dance and to provide high quality dance education to every student. The academy concentrates on each student’s character as well as dance technique, believing as strongly in the power of a great dance education as about creating beautiful, loving, and strong students.
This is accomplished by administering the American Ballet Theater® National Training Curriculum, a 9-level program of age-appropriate, outcome-based levels to provide the highest quality ballet training, integrating high quality artistic instruction with the basics of dancer health and child development.
