A small group of dancers take the same pose in the middle ground, while four others in various poses stand along the back wall. The dancers’ tutus are tied in the back with pink or light blue ribbons, their hair is tied up and they wear a black ribbon around the neck. A man in a dark suit sits on the left playing a violin. The studio interior is lit by natural light from tall windows which beautifully illuminate the tutus and empty space of the floor on the right. Non-descript buildings and green shrubs are seen beyond the windows.
