Had the opportunity to shoot a dance series with Kristi Bentz of the Lyon Opera at the newly renovated Hotel Dieu (an old hospital that has been converted to a hotel, restaurants and shops).

Wonderful images. My favourites are the ones with the arched corridor - great use of depth of field, but all have sublime light, great poses and dynamism.
perhaps the author is referring to the slender, posture-perfect with long lines, and graceful look.
for me, those poses, while do not accentuate the typical dance poses normally seen in a performance, they nevertheless showcase the flexibility of a dancer.. great work!

I saw that comment and was also wondering what he meant !
This is, in fact, what I was referring to. I have no problems with breast augmentation, but in these particular images, it really seems to take away from the classic ballet figure, in my opinion

I believe he was referring to her breasts. Most ballet dancers are very flat chested, but this one is actually a woman.
This said, I do believe that hers are natural - which is quite exceptional for a dancer
