“No Standing—Only Dancing”
“No Standing—Only Dancing” is a popular poster; the saying appears as wall graffiti between two parked cars. The original photo was taken by Australian photographer Rennie Ellis (1940-2003) in 1974.
T-shirt designs featuring the saying were made by EDMNYC Apparel, Tequila Mockingbird and Zazzle.

THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF RENNIE ELLIS | NO STANDING, ONLY DANCING
(...)
Australian photographer Rennie Ellis (1940-2003), manifested his lust for life in the incredibly raw and titillating images of ’70s & ‘8os that perfectly capture the heyday of Rock ‘n’ Roll rebellion, sexual experimentation, high fashion & tomfoolery. He eagerly exposed the gritty and honest underbelly of the times with an insider’s candor that is both magical and mesmerizing. A familiar fixture on the party scene, Rennie was widely accepted in social circles that placed him squarely in the middle of the action where he thrived on the energy– and always got the shots he wanted.

Dancing is movement- and unless you’re a sponge, movement is life! By the transitive property, Dancing = Life. So given the choice, between standing, arms crossed, stern faced with slack shoulders and floating across the floor on two legs who wouldn’t choose dancing? Think about it- how do people celebrate the best moments in life?
