                                                                            When photographing stage performances the photographer needs to capture the subject at the height of action.  This gives interest to the viewer and a reason for the image.  Doing this can be challenging because of the restrictions on the photographer due to the separation of the audience from the stage.

This dancer was photographed at an opportune moment while her foot is off the ground and the costume is billowing with movement.  Her performance is captured in time giving the casual viewer the feeling of being in the audience.  The yellow of the dress works well with the black background.

There are a couple suggestions I would like the photographer to consider.  The edge of the performer’s dress is tangent to the frame.  It would be better if there were a little more space to the right.  The second thing I would like to consider is that the angle of the stage makes the woman appear to be on a sloped surface.  I think this could be brought to horizontal without causing her to appear to be leaning.
