***This quote seems to work for all of these images: “Vance demonstrated how photographs of human bodies are caught up in social struggles, and how different views about the meanings and uses of photographs have political implications.” -Chapter 4, pg 172

These photos show the strength of the human, and more specifically the female, body. Many people think of ballerinas as delicate, when they really are pure strength. Depending on where/how these photos could be shown, there could be many different views and meanings to them.
