Hi Gia,
hmmm maybe I should have phrased that differently. What I meant was that providing a snapshot as the sole picture in your promo pack is a "no no". As you know, being a pro dancer, the promotional picture you provide is often used by the client to create posters, releases to the newspapers and create other advertisments so it needs to be a clean, high dpi, studio quality picture that shows the dancer well and in detail without a busy background. Plus the client needs to see the dancer 'up close and personal' in a picutre when they are evaluating you. Sometimes you can get a really artful or wonderful action shot but they don't always show your face or body as closley as needed. Perhaps I should have said action shots ok in addition to a good 8x10 photo
