With the help of Ania and Ro, through some relaxation and breathing techniques practice, we were able to create beautiful results for each one of the ladies'‘

It was beautiful seeing the dancers, who are used to fight the force of gravity, being able to freely express themselves in the water, getting more and more comfortable as their bodies were adjusting to the new environment.

If you are in the Toronto area, definitely check out the Vixens studio classes!

“Francesca and her team were absolutely amazing. They were incredibly patient, they do not rush you and you really feel like they're trying to get the best shots.It was a beautiful experience and I cannot wait to work with them again. Patient, professional and talented team.”
