How amusing are these posters of famous pop culture dances by Niege Borges Alves? The series is named 'Dancing Plague of 1518' after the strange, real-life case of dancing mania that broke out in 16th century France. #amazing

Ok, I'm off to practice my Little Miss Sunshine!

A few more after the jummppp jump!

The first series of illustrations of this kind that i saw was the lotus dance by Thom Yorke, it made me crack up! The little miss sunshine one is hilarious too!

These are awesome!! Totally funny and witty, I had a blast trying to guess which film scene these were inspired by before reaching the bottoms. The Elaine was spot on!

Michele said...

Love this! And at first I didn't believe that the dancing plague was real, but it is and it is so hilarious and awesome, but at the same time pretty weird because people actually died. Maybe they should make a movie about it!

Becky said...

OMG YES YES YES. I so needed to see this to start my day. Hell Yes, Hilarious.

Tine Swijns said...
