Dance Dress Rehearsal in San Francisco

A quiet honor for Nico Hend to photograph a recent dance dress rehearsal in San Francisco.

Capturing young dancers in motion—focused, expressive, and fully present—offered a glimpse into the discipline and creativity behind the performance.

These are the in-between moments that tell a bigger story: movement, light, and intention, just before the curtain rises.

In flight together—suspended for a split second, unified in motion and energy.
