Seeing people gracefully dance is a lovely sight which can also be entertaining at the same time. All of us could appreciate good dancers especially those who doesn’t merely go with the beat but also express their emotions through their moves. But dancers can also look great even when you don’t actually see them doing a dance sequence. They look gorgeous in photos because of the moves they make. Today, you will be seeing photos of dancers who posed in daily life settings in different places in New York.

Jordan Matter turned everyday events into a dynamic moments with dancers swirling, leaping, and spinning in roads, parks, beaches and in any places where most people go. Matter’s project was called Dancers Among Us and the photos were compiled on a book that has reached thousands and impressed millions. With the combined zeal of Matter and the dancers, amazingly stunning photos came to life! Seeing the photos seems to tell us that the world is a stage and that all of us are actually dancers who can freely move in any way we want.

The project is totally fun, bold and radiant! You can see that in the photographs but you will surely appreciate it even more once you see the video below on how the photos were taken to create a book that Matters refer to as “A book to make you dream. A book to take your breath away. A book not just for the dancers, but for the dancer inside of each us.”


Dancers Among Us goes around the USA in Ninety Seconds from Jordan Matter on Vimeo.

Matter got his inspiration for his project from his son, Hudson, who was playing with is toy bus one afternoon. Seeing his son play as if he is in his own world, made Matter think, “What happens to this enthusiasm, this ability to be wholly present in the moment? Why are these pure moments of passion so often replaced with cynicism, boredom, and indifference? As I played with my son, I thought about creating photographs that would show the world as if through his eyes. The people in the images would be alive and in the moment, celebrating all aspects and emotions of everyday life.“ And from that, Dancers Among Us was born.
