The DANCERS & DOGS project started as a completely random idea in early 2017. Husband and wife professional photographers from St. Louis, USA, Kelly Pratt and Ian Kreidich, who work with the St. Louis Ballet and travel with dancers around the country, thought: “Why don't we take pictures of the dancers with the dogs? " The resulting images show that teaching the dogs new tricks can simply bring out the more light-hearted, human side of the dancers. The essence of the project is to experience joy at the moment. Dogs don't really care about your tall arabesque or how many 32 perfect fouettés you can make. They just love you for who you are.
