Studio Work- The shadows within you

I wanted to create an image using a dancer and their shadow. I used a snoot and a light and shone it on the dancer, give filling the room with the dancers shadow. I ask the subject to hold a position and to see how the shadow looks. Below are some examples

I like this image and how they are not connected, to me it looks like the shadow is free and are two different people, but I don't like the way the dancers face or hair falls. Therefore, Ive decided not to use it

This images I might use some software and try to create a different image. I like how the shadow is, it is like it wants to be free and is bursting to get out of the dancers body but I feel that the way the person and the shadow are joined its makes the shadow have short legs. I would like to try photograph this image again so that the light is more forward, facing her and the shadow is tall and directly behind her giving it more of the impression that something inside her is trying to break free.

The love how graceful and free the shadow looks behind the dancer in the image below, but I felt that having the dancer in the image did not give it justice and they did not match. The dancer is holding the pose but its looks more like the shadow wants to get away and be free.

Therefore, I made the image portrait and edited the dancer out of the shot and I like the abstract feel the image has. I would like to capture the image again and make the shadow look more equal, for example the back foot is too narrow but overall I like the image below
