To most people, one minimum requirement in a dancing partner is that they have two feet. For the people who participate in the Musical Canine Freestyle, that’s not really the case — in fact, they’d rather a partner with four legs.
Beginning in the late 1980s, the event is a “choreographed, costumed, musical number between a dog and its human handler,” and one which “truly demonstrates the joys and fun of bonding with your pet,” Slate wrote.
Intrigued by the event’s whimsical — if not bizarre — nature, photographer Bego Antón contacted some of the participants and asked to photograph them. Here’s just a sampling of what she saw.
