Here I am writing more fluff...partly because my head is kind of stuffy (from some cold etc.) and that doesn't make for good concentration....
Well i must confess though I don't watch much "regular tv" except for an occasional Dr. Who or Sci-Fi crime show on PBS ( liked the last enemy and the other day while I was cooking I put on a show on PBS for background noise and I actually got into it- MI-5
Yea I guess I'm still into sci-fi, guess I use it to exercise my imagination lol
Aannywaay Though I still love dancing and still agree dance as an art (& exercise form) is amazing, and tho if I wasn't saved Yes I would be a fan of Dancing W the Stars, I really can't watch the show. For my own conscience sake, I mean some of the forms, the music the costumes are not really edifying from a Christian perspective.
EEks but however since I really like Sarah Palin, I mean I'm curious to know what her daughter is about. So the combination of my love of dance & my curiousity got the best of me.
So I've watched the clips of her parts on the show.Here's my analysis of it (ROFL).
First I think she has a great partner. LOL that would have been someone I would have liked way back then. Very cute guy, great fun & dazzling personality, short, and able to carry off being a great dancer with out coming across as effeminate- not such an easy thing to do. One of my old faves was like that- Gene Kelly...but anyway...
Actually my hubby is a good dancer, with the potential of being great.
Yea watching many of their dances reminded me I suppose I do have an ember of romance somewhere deep down, guess only music & dancing can bring that up. I'm not used to dancing w a partner though. Way back then you just went and danced & did your own thing. Like I danced with myself and with everybody (at the same time, it was like a global experience to me, maybe even come weird at one with the world experience.oooh that sounds rather demonic
Anyway, and he doesn't have much experience dancing with a partner either, though I guess before he was saved he taught himself those Latin dances (which was expected in the culture).
As for her\them I couldn't watch one of them and barely a couple others. As for the others this is what I gather:
I don't know why they keep putting her in pink. I know I'm not a fashion expert but am I the only one who thinks she herself does not look good in pink? She doesn't seem to look good in light colors either. Isn't that like some rule or something about when your heavier? I dunno...
I think she looked best in the purple outfit.Ha, the guy it doesn't matter (as usual ).
I think her strengths are:
she has great poise, the way she stands upright & carries herself. She is good with her footwork and keeping up with the steps. Looks good with the turns and spins and usually carries her poise through them.
Like one of the judges said she often comes across looking "poetic". There can be something witsful & romantic coming across through her dancing. So I think she is much more siuted to those forms. Certainly more than exuberant or sensual dances.
Although I think she did good with the tango. Maybe this is because it us more of a serious dance and seems more suited to her personality, plus it's not exactly "exuberant". It does require one to try to stay stiff rigid rather robotic in a way. That doesn't quite fit with her, she seems more like a rather laid back kind of person- not tense. So that means since the dance doesnt naturally fit her, she made an extra effort to put herself aside and get into it.
As for her weak points:
First off, something I'd like to think I'm rather good at.... she just is not good at expression with her arms and hands. Drama at the right moment lol something grand and sweeping flowing or packing a punch etc etc.
Who knows, since I haven't been critiqued over this, lol it could be I'm not so hot with it, but I sure do feel it though. I feel like I got that down. Hmm well maybe it's not all in my own head and feeelings. Some artist once told me he liked my hands (something like they were expressive or something)
no he wasn't hitting on me
I saw myself in various videos although I don't like to look at myself or hear myself... my hand and arm movements look kinda cool. Hate to say... the opposite of what I'm saying about Bristol (no offence no of us is perfect at everything- lol not even her mother). When dancing or any of the performing arts, dont think it good to have arms and hands just kind of dangling there. They should be used to accentuate important points in the music & or express feelings. Enough said there.
And she also seems rather clumsly with her head. I find it interesting & strange to see someone who has great posture and poise not know how to carry or manuver their head in the same manner. Doesn't seem as bad as with the arms but still, rather clumsy & out of place.
Obviously she has a hard time with the overall perfomance\theatrical part of it all.
If she was just dancing , not on a stage for an audiance, it would be fine. That's hard though because again. it seems part of her personality. She seems more shy, reserved, quiet, non dramatic,humble, not seeking attention & the spotlight, not good at putting on a show etc etc. (Did I write this before?) She seems like a great person to have for a good friend, but not the best choise to be the lead singer for your band.
Though I could never have been a great dancer ( for one horrible at memorizing the patterns)... I do understand it, what theyre trying to say, if it's coming across right. Reminds me of how I had fleeting thoughts of going into the theater. I do think I would have been good (hm maybe not at memorizing my lines, well maybe if I played them audiably over & over). But alas I knew I didn't have "a look" for it. Thin it was better of this way anyway...
(hey i'm still pretty good at dialects & vocal imitations- one of the ways to make the kids smile as well
