Photographer Jordan Matter captures dancers in unexpected places for his book “Dancers Among Us.”

“Mama’s Boy” Features dancer Sun Chong with his mother on Pennsylvania Avenue NW. “I had to jump, like, 100 times,” Chong said. “The photo is great, but it was painful. The ground was really hard, and it was winter, and I had to take off my coat, and every time I landed it was painful.” Jordan Matter/Workman Publishing
