My daughter Jay. She’s about 7 here and a little elastic band. I am fairly certain the human body wasn’t REALLY designed to do this… It was photo day at the dance school and I stuck her on the photographer’s back drop and took this. FEATURED IN “PENTAX LADIES” FEATURED IN “WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE?”
LOL. yes, she’s been flexi forever, never had to work at it in gymnastics or dance class. She spent a lot of time in-utero with her feet up around her ears, I am not sure if that has anything to do with how bendy she is. She has a natural co-ordination that was a bit strange too. She could turn a perfect cartwheel at aged 4 in both directions which I am told is quite unusual. I didn’t think much of it at the time…
brilliant of you to seize the opportunity of the backdrop! wonderfully bendy and wonderful shot! :-) val
Thanks. I don’t think the photographer was real thrilled about it :-P. I love this shot of her. Particularly the way her feet follow the exact curve of her head.

Great pose! I don’t think I had that flexibility, even at my best. ;) Thanks for adding this to the dance photography group!
Thank you. She manages to turn herself into a pretzel just to watch TV. I like the way her feet mould to the curve of her head in this shot.
wonderful shot – i could totally not do that, now or when i was little, couldn’t even touch my toes, i’m impressed
