Dancing dolls / Muñecos bailando / Poupées dansantes / Bonecas dançando

In English:

I took 14 photos from dancing dolls, which I saw in Mikkeli in an exhibition. They are made by Finnish doll artists. When looking at my photos, I got the idea, that I copy every photo and from those copied photos, I cropped them to show more details from the original photo. Therefore, when looking at my photos, the first one is the original and the second photo is a cropped. Later, I added 6 images.

En español:

Sacaba 14 fotos de muñecas bailando, las que vi en Mikkeli en una exposición.. Fueron hechas por los artistas finlandeses de muñeca. Al mirar mis fotos, me tuve la idea, que copio cada foto y de las fotografías copiadasles recorto para mostrar más detalles sobre la foto original. Por lo tanto, cuando se mira en mis fotos, el primero es el original y la segunda foto es una recortada. Más tarde añadí 6 imágenes.

En francais:

J’ai pris 14 photos de poupées dansent, que je voyais à Mikkeli dans une exposition. Elles sont fabriqués par des artistes finlandais de poupée. Lorsque l’on regarde mes photos, je eu l’idée, que je copie chaque photo et de ces photos copiées, je les ai recadrées pour montrer plus de détails de la photo originale. Par conséquent, quand on regarde mes photos, la premiere photo est originale et la deuxième photo est un recadrée. Plus tard, j’ai ajouté 6 images.

  3. Algo nuovo para mi!
    Me divertí mucho por la variedad de “pasos” que nuestros muñecos bailan. El Rock&Roll , por ejemplo , da la idea del esfuerzo que los bailarines emplean , en sus atléticos movimientos….
    Y las caras románticas de algunas “mujeres”……parecen expresiones humanas!
    Mil gracias por compartir , Matti!!!

  6. These are great dancers! I love the expressions on their faces and their hairdos. Beautiful captures!!

    Comment by Tiny — October 13, 2015 @ 15:26 | Reply

    • Hi Tiny.

      These dancers present the profile of people who yet today visit on our dance pavilions in Finland during summer. In Mikkeli, we have for example one dance pavilion, which is very popular. I do not know if abroad this kind of dance culture has been or is yet today maintained. In Penedo, Brazil yes, but it is maintained by the Finns! Thank You for Your comment.

      Have a nice day!

  9. It’s amazing how much work must have gone into that display and wonderful to see that they presented such a wide cross section of people!

    Comment by montucky — October 13, 2015 @ 17:41 | Reply

    • Hello Terry.

      The cross section of these people is the real one, when visiting some of our many dance pavilion in summer. Yes, we have dance culture which live yet today. Normally our dance pavilion are situated by the lakes or rivers. Close to these pavilions there are paths where couple can cuddle.

      Thank You for commenting.

      Have a nice day!

  11. They really look like they’re actually dancing – I mean that they are really moving at this very moment! I’m baffled that they can stand and stay in this position and don’t fall over. Very expressive faces and postures! And as other commentators mentioned before the clothes are great and a feast for the eyes. This wonderful costume design completes the scenery nicely!

    Thanks for your post and these lovely pictures, Matti!

    Best wishes to the North!

    • Hi Michèle.

      How glad I am when reading Your kind comment. All these dolls present the cross-section of people visiting our dance pavilions in summer. In Finland we have yet today many dance pavilions, which are situated by the lakes or rives and where people (adults) go to dance. These dance pavilions are part of our culture. Some pavilions have capacity for 1000 dancers. The music played in them is “Schlager”.

      Thank You. Have a nice day!

  13. i don’t see the/a button where i can/could “like” many of the comments! e.g., “the rock&roll dancers”, one with her eyes closed, etc. — and the harmonica!
    we could start to make some sort of movie with these …
