If you looked at this photo and thought, “What in the world?” or, “Is this even from this world?” you are not alone. This long exposure from discipula277 is of the DDP Drill Team, an avant garde dance performance group. The DDP is, according to their web site, short for “Dieter’s Dance Party,” a name borrowed from the Saturday Night Live Sprockets skit made famous by Mike Myers. And yes, it does appear that the dancers are carrying a Star Wars-themed light saber/drill team stick. The dancers are clearly fantastical, in their makeup, uniforms, and choreographed dance moves, and the photo captures their essence perfectly. I think this sci-fi military image is exactly the feel the DDP was trying to achieve.
