Being a full-time student at Harvard is enough to make anyone’s head spin. But try being a biomedical engineering concentrator and contemporary dancer as well as a ballerina. This is the case for Lauren E. Chin ’08-’09. Luckily, her poise and grace managed to carry her pirouetting to the OFA’s Suzanne Farrell Dance Award. The prize—whose namesake was once the prima ballerina of the New York City Ballet—is given to the Harvard undergraduate who has demonstrated exemplary artistry...

Most of them are just of the girls’ bodies, the frame holding only downward pointed toes to skyward pointed chin, jumping and bending in their tutus. Some of them show faces, but I like the non-face ones better. I don’t know much about ballet but figure with the chorus girls it’s probably more about fitting in and looking same, so probably these no-face photos mean something...
