Looks like you've improved with these types of shots.

Great colour and movement. 2 , 4 & 5 are my favourites

Love the colours and the flourishing movements. I like that you got some motion blur in these shots but I think the shutter should have been a little faster to stop the motion of their head but blur the motion of their dresses. It's a tricky spot to find but I think it would have made more powerful images if it was possible. I still really like the colours and the composition. Nicely done.

I like the movement overall - fun play for sure.
If the shutter were faster the images would be darker - Not sure how high the ISO was though but I will assume we are wide open on the lens.
A combination of flash and slow shutter might have been best - though not sure exactly where this was taken. If it was taken in the street, you could have used flash but that would have bothered the performers.

Thanks everybody. The speed was 1/30 sec. ISO 800. Lens 70-300 f/4.5. I played with many speeds and 1/30 gave me what I wanted in terms of movement. 1/60 could give more detail on the faces but that was not my priority; it was movement.
Now, using flash, impossible. It was a huge theater and photographers were only allowed behind the last row; no flashes were allowed. It was close to 15 of us there taking pictures.

All beautiful. Great series!
