The film Bomb It portrays graffiti as the “biggest art movement in humankind.” With any movement there is opposition and many see graffiti or tagging as mere vandalism. Art or vandalism—where do you spray the line? “Graffiti is energy” says Bronx graffiti artist T-Kid and “it represents life” says artist Pose 2. The same can be said about dance—dance is energy—and it represents life in nearly every culture across the globe. The graffiti photos below show dancers and different types of dance around the world. Many images in this set were painted in the popular form of stencil graffiti. 14 photos and 3 videos.
