Lila Cox SA Classical & Contemporary Scholarship

In the 2021 Classical and Contemporary Scholarship and Awards run by DanceAus Connect, I was lucky enough to win a photoshoot package prize from Belinda Strodder Photography. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, I was unable to complete the photoshoot until May earlier this year.

Prior to the session, I chose a small selection of poses I liked and wanted to recreate. I picked out my favourite leotards to wear, though Belinda also generously provided a range of costumes, leotards and skirts for me to use. Belinda was extremely welcoming during my session, and quickly made me feel comfortable to experiment with different poses and shapes to find what worked well. She made sure to guide me through the process and gave valuable advice on how to trust yourself and have confidence in order to create a pose that captures a feeling of movement and freedom

Overall, the photoshoot package prize was an incredible and wonderful experience I was very happy with the final photos I received, and I'm grateful to both DanceAusConnect and Belinda Strodder for making this fantastic opportunity possible
