What's New

In black-and-white, Hannah Martin is shown in a 180-degree penché en pointe against a white background, casting a defined shadow. She wears a white tutu and a black long-sleeved leotard. Martin casually props her elbow up on a white rectangular box, resting her head on the back of her hand, which she curls into a loose fist. Her other arm rests on the prop in front of her. Her hair is down and she looks calmly into the camera.

Samantha Sherry is shown midair, in a side leap, against a black, spooky background. Her legs form a straight line. She wears a long black sleeveless dress and skin-tone ballet shoes. She throws her arms down in front of her, parallel with each other and in line with her torso, which she tilts toward the photo's left. Her curly hair is loose and she looks directly into the camera.
