The Dance Class (La classe de danse) of 1874 is a painting of a ballet class by Edgar Degas. Degas was an avid photographer. His shows the influence of photography in its asymmetrical composition. The dancers are seemingly caught off guard in various awkward poses, leaving an expanse of empty floor space in the lower right quadrant.
