I went to look up sources, as I have been doing lately, and this photographer's bio (Wikipedia) is fascinating. (see also, Getty museum finding aid, sadly they don't show any of his images that they have in their archives) He's one of the founders of modern photojournalism, claims to have given Marlena Dietrich her first film test, and was imprisoned by Hitler for six months in 1933 before going to first the UK and then settling in the US, where he lived until his death in 1997.

Joy and whimsy detected! This post is joyful and whimsical!

This guy shows up a lot on my Instagram feed (and my TikTok when I used it), he’s like the definition of joy and whimsy! 🕺

This is really the cleanest Sweethearts Dance I’ve ever seen in my life. I am in love! I am transfixed! Footwork smooth and strong like a mfin mountain river! Incredible! 🤩 😳 🥰

Oh my God this is incredible to watch!

Found the credit, from the Great Plains Dance Company. This is Jocy Bird and Trae Little Sky dancing in the Sweetheart Special at the Seminole Tribal Fair in Hollywood, Florida.

Jocy Bird and Trae Little Sky are married and apparently an adorable couple and I am loving their beaming grins as they dance so smoothly together. 💖

hip stretches

[dogdayafternoon1975]

this tweet has given me more motivation to stretch than any "it's good for you" post ever will

[the-cassquatch]

I want to recommend qigong, and particularly shifu Yan Xin's youtube channel. He has GREAT energy. Qigong especially is amazing for working your lungs and other core muscles, and it's low intensity so it's relatively easy to do. For someone like me that didn't start doing regular stretching until I was 30, it's a great way to begin!

This is Rosie, posted by CherylIron on Instagram! 🥰

The caption on the original video reads:

“My precious niece Rosie jammin' out at Meskwaki Proclamation Powwow 💖 She has incorporated new moves recently and you can't help but smile and feel happy just by watching her. 🥹🐥💕

Note: This is traditionally a men's dance style, but she was inspired by her grandpas and brothers who dance prairie chicken. She was given the right to dance this style by her mosoms Brian and Irvin Waskewitch. She doesn't understand gender norms, just the love for dancing. 🤍”
