Daring, Dramatic, and Dazzling Dancers on Wall Calendars and Planners

Dance photography and art calendars capture all the emotion of dance moments in striking images. There are few things as captivating as a dancer at the peak of his or her ability, moving with grace and ease. Each month a different image on your dance wall calendar
will inspire you with the changing moods and poses of dancers in motion.

From the panache of Hollywood legends such as Astaire and Rogers, and Gene Kelly, to the charm of vintage tea dances, and from the poise of ballet to the passion of tango or the sensual moves of bellydancing, these calendars offer something for every dance lover.

Dirty Dancing Wall Calendar 2012

Johnny and Baby Still Dance in our Memories

Dirty Dancing needs no introduction. What is hard to believe is that 2012 is the 25th anniversary of the ultimate dance movie that broke our hearts and inspired a generation of girls to dream of leaping in the air in a pink dress. Ahem.

As to the Dirty Dancing 2012 calendar, it has all of our favorite movie scenes. Johnny and Frances (aka Baby) falling in love on the dancefloor or caught in emotional moments, and beautiful Penny showing off some moves. And of course that final hold... but you'll have to wait to December for that one.

A Ballet Lover's Dream

This photographic dance calendar puts ballet in the spotlight, combining dramatic images with dance quotations. The ballet photos are mostly black and white, some with just a hint of color in the flesh tones of the skin.

These dance images focus on female dancers in classical ballet dress of white tutus and pointe shoes (there is one month that features a photo of 3 young ballerinas in practice clothes at the barre). Most of the poses are also classic and supremely graceful, occasionally isolating an outstretched leg or feet in position. The cover picture seen here might make you think these calendar pictures will be unconventional but this is the most unusual of them all. Inside you will find the elegance that many of us associate with ballerinas.
