I’ve been told on more than one occasion that I’ve got wonderful dancers legs…
I’m always trying to put them to good use, but unfortunately I just don’t have a whole lot of rhythm. No matter how hard I try, I just can’t seem to hang onto the beat for any period of time. No, though I love dancing, I have no illusions about my ability. Having said that, where I lack in rhythm, I more than make up for in vertical jump. If that ever becomes a big part of dance culture, I’m fuckin’ set. Perhaps I could even become a male ballerina (malerina?) like these people.
Dancers Among Us – They’re here… Like, Right Now
If you’ve ever wanted to start dancing and jumping around in public, then this collection of photos by Jordan Matter is sure to impress you. He calls them Dancers Among Us, and if I had a gun to my head and had to describe them to a stupid person, I would say something like “they’re photos of people doing ballerina stuff in public!” and leave it as that.
I’ve included this one first, because if you can handle this… you can handle everything else no problem.I don’t suggest trying this particular move at home, though, as you’ll probably slip and kill yourself.
You know, I don’t think my legs could possibly bend like this, and I’ve been rock climbing for quite some time now. Clearly I’m not getting enough Yoga, Gymnastics, or Ballerina training.
This was me five days a week when I was working for someone else. Hell, this was me about a week ago when I was running for the last train after spending an evening at the bar. Yikes…
Someone is having a good day, and it’s not just the jumping woman.
I’m trying to keep my perversion out of this non-smutty set of photography, but man… sometimes people just make it way, way too easy. You know what I’m talking about, right? RIGHT??!?
I could really use more friends like these. I think my life would be a lot more interesting in a number of ways, including overall spontaneity. There’s something to be said for just going out and doing something crazy, providing it’s fun and doesn’t hurt anyone.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this collection, and if you have any crazy ballet photos of your own, feel free to share them in the comments below, and I’ll add them right into this here post.
