Perhaps it is the idea of freezing and capturing a moment of an art dedicated to rhythm and movement that makes dance photography so fascinating but professional dancers and dance enthusiasts have really been making their presence felt on Instagram lately, offering a glimpse into their worlds in the most intriguing ways.

Fresh-faced rehearsal captures, sweat beads and beaming smiles post-performance. Backstage sneak peeks, snatches of their life onstage and off of it, legs gracefully tapering to a ballet shoe-clad tiptoe and more. We were even more delighted to find that the glamour of dancing co-existed peacefully with the beauty of quiet moments from day-to-day life. And thankfully, these guys aren’t afraid to experiment beyond X Pro II and Lo-Fi.
