Group Dance Posing Experts: Dancers Behind the Camera
As dancers turned photographers, we bring a unique perspective to group dance photography. We understand how to capture the energy, connection, and artistry that make group and buddy poses stand out. From siblings to best friends and entire dance teams, we specialize in creating memorable shots that reflect each group’s unique bonds and style.
We’ve compiled a collection of simple yet impactful poses designed for group dance, buddy, and sibling photoshoots. These poses ensure that every dancer feels comfortable and confident on photoshoot day. Practice your favorites ahead of time to make the most of your session!
Essential Tips for Group & Buddy Dance Poses
- Coordinate Poses: Ensure everyone’s lines and levels are in harmony for a polished look.
- Celebrate Individuality: Let each dancer’s personality shine through, even in a group.
- Use Props or Themes: Add flair and cohesion by incorporating props or thematic elements.
- Stay Relaxed: Keep poses natural to reflect authentic connections.
- Play with Spacing: Vary the distance between dancers to create depth and visual interest.
- Be careful not to have too many rows that block the visibility of other dancers or create a warped depth of field, making the dancers in the back appear smaller.
- Showcase Unity: Incorporate linked arms or synchronized movements to emphasize togetherness.
- Include a Hint of Asymmetry: It creates interest in your photo and draws the eye.

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!

Amber is so darn talented. Used her for many things, and I continue to become more and more impressed. Professional, promt, kind, direct – I could go on and on. All the things you want when working with someone. There’s nothing them and their team can’t do.
