Feedback on how to light the front of my background without lighting

my subject would be great! Thanks for looking.

Colour v B&W, and lighting. First, I am a sucker for dance shots, so know this, I like what you have done. I find the lighting perfect for this, shows power and grace at the same time, and for this I thank you. As to lighting the foreground, not sure you would want to, my first thought was how I wished she was "floating" on air, ie, no forground at all. But that is just me, again well done !

Corey, I like the B & W better. Something about the ground reminded me of clouds, and the imagery I had was dancing on clouds although, certainly to far off from Robert's imagery of Dancing on air. The silhouette is a powerful image here. Great work.
