My Passion Project: DANCERS

By: Maria Sampaio

Looking for Dancers for the Grace in Motion Project ✨

As an artist, I’ve always been captivated by the beauty, strength, and discipline of dance. This year, I’m bringing that inspiration to life through a very special project: Grace in Motion — a fine art unveiling that will celebrate dancers ages 3–18 as true works of art.

We’re looking for dancers of different ages and styles so the unveiling highlights a beautiful range of talent. If you’d like your child to be considered, simply apply below. Once we’ve reviewed the applications, we’ll reach out if we feel your dancer is the right fit for this project.

I’ll be creating a gallery-style exhibition where each dancer is honored not just for their movement, but for the passion and individuality they bring to their art. My goal is to capture their grace and spirit in a way that feels timeless — transforming fleeting moments of dance into legacy artwork.

APPLY for the Dancer Project

What is Grace in Motion? Can I participate?

Those selected will receive:

  • A fully guided fine art portrait session in my studio, designed to make each dancer feel celebrated and confident.
  • Custom styling and artistry, so every piece reflects both the dancer’s personality and the elegance of their form.
  • An unveiling at a gallery-style exhibition, where portraits will be displayed as works of art.
  • Four complimentary tickets to the unveiling event, one for the dancer and 3 guests.
  • A complimentary fine art portrait as part of the experience, with the option to invest in additional artwork if you choose.

This project is close to my heart. I love taking dancers and turning them into works of art.

Apply today to be part of Grace in Motion and let’s celebrate your dancer in a way that will last for generations.

ALSO, don’t mind the pajama pants—I just wanted to share a peek into my painting room and what I’ve been working on lately! I’m in the midst of a really special project that combines two of my favorite things: portraiture and dance. We’re curating a fine art unveiling at the end of the year that will showcase hand-painted portraits of selected dancers, each captured in a unique moment of movement and expression. After photographing them in-studio, I choose my favorite image and begin transforming it into an oil painting. This current piece has been a joy to work on—it’s elegant, classic, and filled with emotion. Painting has always been my way of escaping life’s noise, and creating this series allows me to connect my own artistic voice with the expressive beauty of dance. If you know a dancer between the ages of 4 and 18 who might want to be part of this beautiful project, we’re still taking applications. I can’t wait for the unveiling and to share all the surprises we have in store!
