Photographing at the Vaganova Ballet School in St. Petersburg was one of my dreams. I had heard of this wonderful school where the best young dancers from all of Russia come to live and study. On a side street off Nevsky Prospect, the school is in a 200 year old building where the classrooms evoke the spirit of an earlier century. Madame Natalia Dudinskaya graciously allowed me to photograph during her classes without restriction. My dream was fulfilled.
