One of my great pleasures is doing my blurry, dreamy dance photos.
There can be a certain menace in formal set-based dances. I caught it here.
For me, dance always has narrative.
No matter how much motion is in a room, there is always a fixed point.
Formal doesn't mean stuffy.
That dress was like a beacon, and sorrowful when it was still.
The anonyminity of male dress.
Couples waltzing.
I like the blur in this particularly -- the men look active, as the lady watches, but she's a more powerful figure for it.
Having forgotten to take my Regency formalwear to the cleaners, I wore a dress. This actually didn't feel odd to me until someone came up to me and went on and on about how refreshed I must have felt to be a lady and I was such a good sport to always wear men's clothes as trying for me as that may be.
