During a ballet class in the city of Arad, I followed a group of seven-year-old girls and observed the moments between exercise and movement, between concentration and play. The studio becomes a space where the body learns discipline, precision, and how to face its own reflection - while childhood is still clearly present, through glances, small smiles, and impatience for the next step. The photographs focus on the tension between the desire to become “a dancer” and a body that is still learning how to be a body. Hands, feet, posture, and mirror reflections trace a quiet process of imitation and internalization - not of perfect movement, but of learning. The work looks at childhood not only as a space of innocence, but as a stage where subtle expectations already appear: to be accurate, to hold a form, to stay within structure - even when the body still wants to move freely.
