The Dazzle Dancers
The Dazzle Dancers are a performance group founded in 1996 in New York City's Tompkins Square Park during Wignot by artist Mike Albo and Grover Guinta. The male and female dancers appear in spare costumes or nude at festivals, night clubs, and the Hipster scene.
The Dazzle Dancers have performed nationally at many late-night clubs, Coney Island Amusement Park, Wigstock, the Burning Man Festival in Nevada, and onstage with the band Blondie to a crowd of 20,000 people at the Millennium New Year's Eve Celebration in Miami, Florida.
In 2005 the Dazzle Dancers were a central theme in a feature film, the romantic gay comedy Adam & Steve.
Their costume designer is Matthew Flower, better known as Machine Dazzle, who has noted in an interview with that his designs are like sacred objects to him and believes in the transformative quality of costumes.
