Description

A group of young ballerinas in white tutus is depicted in various stages of preparation and practice in a dance studio. One dancer stands out in the foreground, poised on one foot, while others attend to their reflections in the mirror or wait seated along the wall, and a musician is visible in the corner playing the piano. The room carries a sense of movement and anticipation, enhanced by the natural light streaming in through the window.
