Ballerina Budapest: The Ballerina Project

The Ballerina Project Hungary, a long-running series by Hungarian photographer Tünde Dóra feature ballerinas posing around some of Budapest’s more well and lesser known sites, including thermal bath houses, the metro, and the banks of the Danube. The series is derived from the international Ballerina Project, created by photographer Dane Shitagi some 17 years ago. According to the Ballerina Project Hungary’s Facebook page, “The Ballerina Project is more than just documentation: it’s a nod of respect paid to the most effective essence of human motion, ballet. It is also an undistorted mirror of dancers’ ambitions…The dancers are taken away from the stage – this time the scenery is our living space, the city milieu, simple everyday life.”

Grace, elegance, utility: ballerinas and Budapest make great dance partners.
