Start with a dancer with strong abs, a stool, and a compelling scene.
Capture lots and lots of images of the dancer shaking her hair all over the place, and choose one that will match the original photo.
Make sure to have an image of the scene without the dancer, to help with removing the stool.
Combine the images with some fairly simple but detailed photoshop work.
Convert to black and white.
