 To me, these dancers warming up for their number in the play "Oklahoma!" say music. I'll probably get killed in the voting on this one because there are no instruments, sheet music or notes, but let the chips fall where they may because I like it.
I took this while experimenting with multiple exposures using a long shutter speed and my hand as a light block. The lens is an 80-200 f2.8 Nikkor.

Perspective needs to be corrected... while the dancers seem to be horizontal, the floor and chairs aren't vertical, throwing things off. Background could be darker but I suppose that couldn't be helped. Very, very nice action! I thought it was really cool how you captured the 'ghostly' images of the dancers in great poses. Kudos!

It's a bit messy to me, and while you oftentimes dance to music it does say "dance" more than "music". A nice idea though and full of life.

I don´t look on this and see "music", I rather see movement and if this was such a challenge I would give you higher marks. I like the idea and you executed it fairly well so I think it´s a great shot but slightly off topic IMO.

Very creative take. Beautiful motion and soft colors. It lacks a really strong focal point of interest for me, which is the only thing I can nit-pik on.

A bold shot for this site. I'm not sure I like it, but you'll get an extra point from me for going out on a limb with the technique here.
