Dancers of Mexico City

New York Photographer Omar Robles recently went to Mexico City and photographed ballet dancers in the streets. The photos are absolutely stunning:

Love.

Also interesting: Robles has done this in other cities and noticed a difference in how cultures reacted to the project. The main reactions from Mexicans: gratitude and applause. More of that, please.
