Andy Zaller's Dancers Series of photographic images of professional dancers and dance students provided the conceptual and artistic framework for this publication. He considers dancing to be the culmination of the integration of all aspects of the arts, including the visual arts. The basic principles of design and the elements of art such as rhythm, contrast, emphasis, color and space are captured by the various movements and physical appearance of dancers, whether they are simply doing warm-up exercises in the studio or engaging in actual performances on the stage.
