I don't doubt the skill or training involved, but to me that photo looks ugly and evil. If not for the toe shoes, it would seem more modern dance than ballet. The dancer looks like a horrible spider. That's a cover photo for a book about a dancer who murders all her rivals in the dance company.
Additionally, the dancer in the photo is strong and powerful; I didn't have the impression that the character in Gregg's novel could be described that way.
