Free Dance Graphics

Free dance graphics are perfect for a variety of uses, from personal décor to dance performance programs. Whatever your reason for needing photos and clip art, there are plenty of places to find them. Below are a few key spots to look, as well as some ideas for how to use what you find.

Where To Find Free Dance Graphics

There are plenty of places all over the Internet where you can locate free dance graphics. The trick is knowing where to look, while not violating any copyright laws. Sites like Getty Images are very popular, but the charges per image can begin to add up, sending many amateur (and even professional) groups searching for a more economical alternative. Check out the sites listed below, guaranteed to have some of the best free dance graphics around.

Creative Commons

Creative Commons is a website devoted to commercial free artwork and photography. The images are all contributed by freelance artists and non-artistic web browsers who happen to snap a good shot now and then. The selection is incredible, and with a great search capability, finding graphics is a piece of cake. Most of the images found on Creative Commons come to the site via Yahoo’s Flickr, and all are free of copyrights and restrictions.

Danza Dance Gallery

Danza Dance Gallery is the place to find more artistic graphics, including various clip art samples. You’ll need to have Quicktime installed to view the site in its entirety, but either way you can download some of these great graphics for free. They are for personal use only, which can include non-profit dance performances.

Sanfords

Want some fun, animated dance graphics that you can’t find elsewhere? Then visit Sanfords, which has some pretty crazy options. They will work well for a dance website, and are also fun to attach in emails. Beyond dance, they also have sports and various team graphics.

Bezuska

Vector art has become increasingly popular, thanks to trendy ad campaigns such as iPod commercials. Bezuska.com has a package of dance silhouettes that are free for the taking. You can find them at this mirror site, and use them via Adobe Illustrator.

Where to Use Free Dance Graphics

Now that you’ve found your graphics, you may be thinking of the best ways to use them. Many go searching for dance images when they are creating a program for a performance or recital. A lot of the free graphics available will work well for homemade programs. One of the biggest mistakes aspiring graphic designers make is creating a design that is too “busy.” Pick a reasonable color scheme for your program, as well as an appropriate layout for text and graphics. The simpler, the better. Steer clear of amateurish clip art, instead opting for vector images or other professional looking designs.

You can also use your dance graphics for personal use, such as a homepage or desktop wallpaper design. Anything goes with these, depending upon what sort of image you hope to put out there. Feel free to get creative, using the graphics as a great starting point. Whenever you use dance art, or any other graphic for that matter, remember to have a heightened awareness of copyright laws and regulations. The last thing you want is to find yourself in the middle of a legal dispute for the sake of a project that should have been enjoyable. Make sure your chosen images are rights free, and you will have a great time designing and making your own dance-themed creations!
