Dancers in the Classroom is a 1890 oil by Edgar Degas, a Impressionism work, held at Clark Art Institute.
You're looking at a painting of a dance classroom. There are nine young women in white tutus, standing or sitting in various poses. One is holding a fan. The room is large, with a wooden floor and a wall of windows in the background. The women seem to be practicing or waiting for a lesson. One of them is sitting on a bench, looking relaxed.
