To the untrained eye, modern dance might not look like anything fluid when compared to ballet or jazz. But there’s a method to the movement, and it comes from an unlikely source: babies.

These three dancers took a master class from one of the great infant choreographers. He might not have any idea what he’s doing. Yet the performers are watching and reenacting his every move.
