The ballet theme is one of the main in the art of the famous artist from Saint-Petersburg Sergey Bakin. He is interested not in the life on the stage but in the world and emotions of backstages. The dancers depicted in the hall for rehearsals graceful and relaxed.  The artist hides the faces of the dancers and accents on graceful moves and beauty of dresses.

Bakin conveys the weightlessness and lightness of the figures through implicit translucent gradations of color and lines. The artist continues the line of impressionism, but interpreting it in his own way at the same time.
