I simply had to share this series of mesmerising dance photographs. From Vanity Fair portfolio "A Dance Retrospective," Bodies Swayed to Music.
Dance combines movement and music; its best practitioners add poetry and flair. From Bill T. Jones’s totemic musculature to the Radio City Rockettes’ stylish kicks, Vanity Fair has captured some of the greatest dancers and choreographers ever.
