In terms of art and design movements I thought of Bauhaus but not sure the images you describe fit that criteria. Anyway, the following might give you a few names to investigate further.

Thought that was neat and to me this is avant-garde ..and shares similarities with your description eventhough certainly no people or arms or ballet
if you ask me
Whether someone wants to call something this or that or avant-garde or not
I don't think it matters
Seems you just have a certain word on your tongue you cant spit out so hopefully gets it
