Artist David Michalek has a traveling installation that does just that. He takes hyper slow motion HD videos of the world's best dancers then projects them larger than life. Here's a sample, though the real videos are much slower. They take an original 5 seconds of live action and extend it to 10 minutes.
Apple profiled the artist and gets into the technical end of the production. More to learn is at the official Slow Dancing Films website.
