Here's some lovely photos from the Time/Life archive

• Ballet Dancers and the Hard, Steady Work of Creating Beauty
• 'Movement Itself': Gorgeous Color Photos of Stravinsky-Inspired Ballets
• It's About Time: Classic Stroboscopic Photos
• Happy Leap Day! (Nos 12 & 18 esp)

Fantastic photos! Exact the kind of thing I was thinking of doing.

Thanks everyone for the replies.  I am indeed discouraged by the difficulties of shooting real ballet dancers, so I guess I will resort to photographing ballet dancers "from my TV". 

I'm a hobbyist photographer and I would love to be able to photograph a rehearsal of ballet dancers.  Even exercises would be good.

I'm interested in capturing movement, here is an image I took to get an idea of what I mean https://www.instagram.com/p/BgXbSjmheU3/?taken-by=_photomaton.

Is there anywhere in London where I would be able to get permission to watch and photograph a rehearsal?

Thank you.
