Square Dancing 27

In this image Ruohomaa's camera looks down on participants and onlookers during a square dance. In the foreground, dancers move by in a chain, while a man steps across the floor toward the camera. The setting is a room decorated with pictures and Japanese paper lanterns.

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