Journée Internationale de la Dance / 008

In every corner of the world, dance rises—spontaneous, raw, defiant. These black and white photographs by Claudio Maria Lerario capture movement as language, protest, ritual, joy. Created for UNESCO’s International Dance Day, this series is a tribute to bodies that speak without words, and to the shared pulse that binds us beyond borders, beats, and silence.

Venice, Italy / In Piazza San Marco, Mattia leaps after a balloon, caught mid-flight between laughter and gravity. The moment is pure, unscripted—child and balloon dancing together in a duet no one planned. Venice becomes a stage, joy the only choreography. Sometimes, the most honest dance is the one we don’t even know we’re performing.
