Showing feelings ......

Christina Ricci's bowling alley tap dance to King Crimson's "Moonchild" in the movie "Buffalo '66" is pretty interesting.

I couldn't find a video of it.

Btw - "Assassination Tango" was a pretty good movie, not as good as "The Apostle", but still good.

This girl is awesome.

I have a hunch that this isn't where the op was taking this? Next, I can see 'pole dancer fails'?

Yes, that lady was strong, no doubt, creative, fit......hey, doing what she was doing can't be easy.

Not from a movie. Watch the kid that comes on around the 35 second mark of the video. It’s just a short series of movements but the kid is liquid rubber.



Then there’s this... I mean, dam son!

Here's your dance sequence.
It doesn't get any better than this.

Interesting factoid- this sequence was done in one take, without rehearsal of any sort. The bros talked out the choreography, and just did it down. Fred Astaire once told the brothers that this dance number was the greatest movie musical sequence he had ever seen, and ballet legend Mikhail Baryshnikov once called them the most amazing dancers he had ever seen in his life.

It’s all impressive, but around the 1:15 mark... insane. The dude has sick flow.

I previously shared on here on how I won some dance contests. I always thought dancing was related to sports. Light on your feet, athletic, rhythm, creativity.



Here is one that is just plain out fun due to the creator's editing skills and the talent of the old-time dancers. LOL

Here is another tango for you, bro:

Love the precision on this one.

I love dance...we go to a lot of performances from ballet to contemporary and hip hop. To me dance is an art and a very expressive art form at that. It's the dancer expressing their idea, feeling and emotion via their body and the space it occupies. Their body is their canvas & their medium all in one and the space becomes the negative space juxtaposed with the shapes and movements of their body/bodies.

It is very different than sport...in its pure art sense there is nothing competitive about dance.

I thought the movie Black Swan was a masterpiece. Here is a description of the movie followed by one of the most sensational dance scenes I have ever witnessed. It's only about 2:30 long, so don't be afraid to watch it.

For me, Misty Copeland is not only a beautiful dancer and incredible artist, but she has broken the stereotype of what a ballerina looks like and has transcended the racial barrier. She too faced racism and bias along the way, but it was one teacher who saw past the color of her skin and that she was a prodigy with immense talent, creativity and artfulness. Copeland who is now Principal Dancer at the American Ballet Theatre is constantly advocating for equity within the dance world, and in particular ballet, and helping more POC break into its community. A true role model and phenomenal artist. Her book is a wonderful read. Watching her dance is beautiful, poetry & shapes in motion and she makes it all look so effortless.

My wife was taking a class in pole dancing. It requires a very strong core. Those women do some amazing things, and keep their clothes on. It's a uniquely beautiful art form.

For the record: Clem is Team S, all the way.

Fik-Shun is unreal...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
incurably ill.
DOA- level sick.

That's UNreal.

He’s kind of talented.

I remember when Fik-Shun was on "So You Think You Can Dance". They still bring him out occasionally to work with contestants.

Not a bad gig for a kid that started as a Vegas street performer.

I like watching good dancers.
I'll only dance now if I'm having beers, but I used to like dancing as a kid, Saturday night fever hit when I was young

Incredible moves and body control, horrid music. Even my dogs looked at me with a WTF look on their faces when I played that.

My favorite parts are from
0:48 to 1:09
and 1:48 to 2:00

It’s absolutely dance. Just because it’s not a traditional waltz or cha cha doesn’t make it not dance.
If you watch the second Fik-Shun video closely, note how synchronized every little movement is to any inflection in the music. So much subtlety. It’s dance. It’s just a continuation of the art into modern times.
