I was scrolling through my archives and came across these photos I took of a Nutcracker ballet performance a few years ago produced by The Hawaii Ballet Theatre with dancers from the New York City Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet and Carolina Ballet. The job was to shoot several performances over a couple of days, and I was able to lurk around backstage as the dancers warmed up with exercises and routines that by themselves were incredible feats of strength and agility. Here are a few of my favorite photos.
