New York Times best-selling author and dance photographer Jordan Matter will blow you away with his incredible images of dancers effortlessly showing off their craft in amazing ways. Best known for his previous works "Dancers Among Us" and "Dancers After Dark", Jordan always bring spontaneity and authentic passion to every shoot - no matter where or when.

His latest book project is "Tiny Dancers Among Us" and will be a celebration of the everyday moments of childhood. The dancing kids resonate with everyone, not just dancers, and they bring to life our shared memories of childhood — joy, wonder, excitement, fear, heartbreak and even boredom.

Jordan is looking to capture 2 more stories of amazing dancers from toddler to teen to feature in the book and he's hosting a photo contest to select them! He will also be bringing a professional filmmaker with him to document the entire process.  To see more incredible photos and enter the photo contest visit the page below.

She won't have been holding that pose for a few seconds.... It's part of a movement that's been captured at a high shutter speed.

This photograph actually makes the move a lot harder than it really is. I do Gymnastics and have just gone into my 9th year of it. This move pictured above isn't hard really though if you aren't good at these kind of these then you probably would find it troublesome and even painful (not saying that's a bad thing, everyone has their strength and weaknesses!) The photographer just captured this girl doing this simply move of standing up using her toes in a spectacular way that makes it look more painful and harder than it is. Though I still love it, it's captured just beautifully and in the most amazing location :)

    Or it could be the fact that the boy is moving and the rest of the scene isn't? Maybe their shutter speed wasn't quite fast enough.

    I swear most of the people who blame photoshop don't even know what Photoshopping looks like. Or cameras for instance, ever heard of shutter speed?
