Carmel Jane Photography is the UK’s leading dance and stage photography company, supporting hundreds of dance schools, both large and small. We provide a professional, efficient and seamless photo system for your dance show.
Pre-Show Dance Portraits
From ballet to body-popping, from tap to tumbling, from leaping to lyrical, from jumps to jive, from Cha-cha to commercial, our expert photographers capture every dancer at their very best – showcasing each costume, every leap and all the personality that makes your school unique. We work around your schedule, offering portrait shoots during the dress rehearsal, on show day, or on a dedicated shoot day – whatever suits you best.
We’re here to work with you to make your show photography experience as smooth and successful as possible. Together, we can discuss the logistics of your show and explore the different options available – whether that’s selling photos at the show itself or offering secure online galleries to parents. Our friendly team will talk through what works best for your school and your parents.
Capture the Drama of Your Live Show
Our experienced photographers document the energy, artistry, and excitement of your live performance, capturing those split-second moments that define your show. We understand the planning and passion that goes into every routine, and we ensure your dancers’ hard work shines through in every image.
Our proven, hassle-free system means you can focus on your show while we handle everything else, from set-up and logistics to providing promotional flyers all free of charge. We allocate a dedicated photographer for your school and take care of every detail, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Lovely service on the phone and email – super helpful and kind. Our photographer, Helen, was brilliant and happily just got on with photographing all our little dancers on a very busy show day (thank you!). The photos are great and really capture the day both on and off stage. We received loads of images and very fast too. Will definitely be booking again!
