Image Description: The photo shows a man smiling warmly, dressed in a crisp white button-up shirt. He has a brush cut and rests his chin lightly on his hand, giving a thoughtful yet approachable pose. His body leans slightly forward, and he looks directly at the camera with a friendly, confident expression. The background is softly blurred but shows a brick wall and a hint of a window or sign, placing him outdoors. Photo by Ty Parker.

Image Description: Taken from the wings of a stage, a man faces away and extends his right leg and both arms high. Below his leg, a man bends forward, elbows bent and lifted behind him with hands flexed at the wrists pointing to the side. In the distance, three men are on the stage floor propped on bent left arms with their right hands on left shoulders. Photo by Annalee Decker.

Image Description: The image shows a group of six dancers performing dramatic, expressive movements on a wooden boardwalk at sunset. Behind them is a calm river and a large steel drawbridge, softly lit by the fading golden sky. The dancers wear minimal costumes in black and red, highlighting their strong, athletic forms. One man extends his leg in a powerful kick while cradling his arms; another leaps high in the air with legs spread wide; one balances on his hands close to the ground. A woman in a jacket and black shorts strikes a bold, grounded stance, while another woman in red shorts and a patterned top arches upward gracefully with one arm reaching to the sky. The figures seem suspended in motion, their energy contrasting with the still, serene backdrop of the waterfront at dusk. Photo by Jamie Hansen.
