This dance photography by Grant is called 'Revelation in Hoboken' and shows performers dancing live on a dusty dance floor. The lights show the dust flying through the air as they break out their best moves.

The dancers dress in [flowing outfits as they move](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer) around the dark room. There is a [spotlight that highlights every move](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow) and hand gesture that they make, creating amazing contrast and definition within the photograph. The shadows of the dancers are also seen on the floor, capturing more movement within a single shot.

Grant's dance photography is exhilarating to look at, because you feel as if they are performing right in front of you. With eye-popping colors such as red used in the drab environment, the dance moves become a work of art.
