Dancing Astronaut presents Behind The Lens, our favorite moments through the eyes of our photographers

Dancing Astronaut’s photographers are constantly behind the scenes, keeping a visual record of the dance music explosion as it continues to grow and evolve. This year alone our photographers attended over 100 events, took over 75,000 photos, and delighted (or possibly embarrassed) some of our fans in the front row. From coast to coast and across the Atlantic, the Dancing Astronaut team did the not-so-dirty work of getting backstage and up close with some of the biggest artists and events of 2012.

So put down your iPhones, log out of Instagram, quit tweeting, and stop recording – our favorite shots of 2012 are just past the break.
