Bike Dance is Everywhere!

The bicycle is a fundamental tool used around the world. It’s no surprise, then, that they turn up as elements of so many creative endeavors! Though some of these groups might not think of themselves as doing “bike dance,” we nonetheless get a huge kick out of the way they’ve worked bicycles into their performances. Enjoy!
