dancing pose

Ballet position held

A dancing pose is a position of the body that suggests or captures a moment of dance—arms extended, weight shifted, torso curved.

The term appears in yoga (dancing Shiva pose), photography direction, and art description.

In social media, striking a dancing pose means adopting such a position for a photo rather than actually dancing.
