Square Dancing 20

In this image a large group of people square dance in a room that has been decorated with pictures and Japanese paper lanterns.

Here Ruohomaa looks down at the dancers, viewing two lines of couples facing each other, performing a pass-through as a single dancers moves under the couples' outstretched arms.

In this improvised dance hall Kosti finds his preferred subject matter: the folkways of ordinary people at work and as here, at play.
