audsjcanuck Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Good Morning, For the YBSS application, it says "full length photographs in first Arabesque en L’air and first position en face". I haven't a clue what size this means! Anyone has ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletgirlsplease Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) The photos are usually postcard size which is 6x4 inch or 6.5 x 4.5 inch. Full length means a full length shot of the child no arms or legs cut off. Are you ok with the positions? Your dance teacher should be able to help with them.

celb Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I would assume this means portrait orientated 6 x4 postcard size photos without cutting off any body parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavlala Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Normal 10x15 cm snaps, with full body in the required positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audsjcanuck Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 You are so quick! Thank You! I do photography as a serious hobby so getting good shots won't be a problem... just didn't know which size to print. Today is picture day. While I'm here, should either by enpointe? or both on flat.

lisadebs Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I would think on flat, this is what we have done for our dd (yr 9) - usually if summer schools want positions en pointe they ask for them specifically. Landscape is probably better for the arabesque and portrait for the full length - have fun taking the photos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointytoes22 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 When somewhere specifies for a 'full-length photograph in practice clothes' does this just mean standing in parallel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 No, that just means that they want you to wear leotard and tights (as opposed to a costume), and they want a full length photo rather than just head and shoulders. For instance many forms ask for a passport sized photo - of just your head & shoulders, plus "full length photo in practice clothes" of each of the positions specified. So for York, I would have sent a passport sized photo of dd's head, PLUS 1. photo showing all of her in arabesque, wearing leotard, tights and ballet shoes And 2. photo showing all of her in first position, facing the camera. They are just specifying that in the positions requested, they can see all of you, including arms, legs and feet. No need for a separate photo in parallel. Hope that makes sense!
