Jazz & Tap Dance Poses
Dancers Behind the Camera: Expertise Meets Rhythm and Style
As dancers turned photographers, we bring an insider’s perspective to capturing the dynamic energy of jazz and tap dance poses. With an eye for rhythm and an understanding of movement, we know how to highlight the precision and vibrancy that define these dance styles. Our experience allows us to focus on the unique qualities of jazz and tap while ensuring each pose resonates on camera.
Additionally, Amber’s professional background as a tap dancer with Rocky Mountain Rhythm makes her the go-to expert for creating authentic and impactful tap dance poses. Her firsthand experience in the intricacies of tap ensures your photos will reflect the true artistry of this genre.
Preparation is the key to success when it comes to your photoshoot. We’ve created a guide to help you practice and refine your poses, ensuring you feel confident and ready to showcase your best moves. Jazz and tap often share similar posing elements, but we’ve separated them in our photo gallery to highlight distinct features like jazz shoes or tap shoes.

Working with Andrews Artistry was such a lovely experience! We hired them as our photographer for our annual dance recital and from initial communication to final product, it was easy and enjoyable. They were professional, respectful and in high spirits the whole day. They interacted with our students with such kindness, making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The final pictures of our dancers were stunning! Amber’s background in dance shows a clear understanding of the body and how to work with students to bring out their most confident selves. I highly recommend Ambers Artistry for your next photography needs!
