The Dancer - Julia Cumes - Havana, Cuba

from $3.95

While leading a photo workshop in Cuba, I had the honor of photographing Adarys, a Cuban National Ballet dancer.  Amidst the vibrant backdrop of Cuban culture, her tranquil grace and elegance stood out in this quiet moment of rest. Life as a Cuban National Ballet dancer is not only about artistry but also about immense dedication and sacrifice. Achieving a position in the company is highly competitive, and once attained, dancers often face challenging working conditions and meager pay.  A testament to their passion and resilience, dancers like Adarys continue to inspire with their artistry. and commitment despite the obstacles they face.

Note cards are printed personally in Robert Manz Studio, folded, inserted in a clear plastic sleeve, along with a quality cream-colored envelope. The card is blank inside and has the location information printed on the back.

The sizes available are 4”x6” and 5”x7” folded.

You can choose coated card stock or rag paper.
