I have a client that's a ballet studio. They have a wordpress site. They'd like to have a gallery section on the site filled with photos of dancers and performances, maybe a video or two, etc.

I'm looking for some suggestions on a nice way to do that. I prefer not to use lightboxes because they can be kind of slow, and if there's a lot of pictures it would be more of a chore to go through them. I can simply stack them all in some kind of grid, but that woudn't look very nice.

Any suggestions on what might look good or any specific plugins that would do a nice job?

I kind of like how google images does their pics -- where you just hover over the pic and it expands. Is there a plugin or easy way to do that?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

    I have had very good results with the free plugin wp-photo-album-plus, available from WordPress.org.
    PM me if you would like a link to see it in action on one of my sites.

    Hands down for a gallery in WordPress I will recommend using:
    WordPress › Photospace Gallery « WordPress Plugins

    This will allow you to create a gallery that has one large image with interactive thumbnails.

    It even supports paging of thumbnails if you have a bunch of images too.
