In a brightly lit dance studio, a line of eight young girls are practicing a ballet exercise. They are wearing black leotards, some with black shorts overtop, and white tights. They stand in a single row, with their hands on their hips, as they execute plié movements in unison. The room is long and narrow with a light-colored, shiny floor. A large window with sheer white curtains runs along one wall, letting in natural light. A ballet barre is visible in the background on the right.
