From May through July, PBT dancers take a well-deserved break from their full-time rehearsal schedule. For many dancers, summer layoff is a time to travel, to soak in the sun, to guest perform and teach, to rest and recuperate. But whatever their summer plans, we’re grateful that these PBT dancers found time to snap stunning dance shots in the open air. Enjoy the gallery and a glimpse into their summer breaks.
