This photo is another example of exposure to the sunset, which creates a silhouette of a person and then uses your flash to reveal the subject.
Most photo books call this Fill-Flash, but the silhouette reveals language that Dave Black coined, which I think describes what is happening better. That is because the flash here becomes the leading light, not a fill light.
Here is the lighting diagram for the photo above. I also have a CTO +1 gel on the flashes. The MagMod system is holding the gels in place.
Here is the photo without the flashes. How I wish I had the outfit behind the dancer in this photo and the other image.
