DANCE!!!

[Dave-W]

Here is a thread to post some of your favorite dance routines.

Here is one from the 12th season finale of So You Think You Can Dance - a tap number by Gaby and Zack:

Try tap while wearing roller skates.

Astaire and Rogers. Absolutely amazing. Here are a couple more from them:

Swing Time - Rogers and Astaire

Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers - Too Hot to Handle

The girl in the video is my friend Jade! She's surreally awesome.

Aw Ella - I went to look at the vid and it says it has been removed.

 

[Goodbook]

Someone please post billie jean or anything they like of michael jackson...

 

[Dave-W]

Well - I think the vid of Billie Jean is posted elsewhere in this forum, but it was the song that he chose to introduce his MOONWALK to, so here goes:

And here is the J5's classic "Dancin' Machine:"

Here is one of my first favorite dance scenes from a movie. It is actually a composite of 4 different dancers that got spliced together for this one scene.

You're right; it's been removed! Dratttttttttt. I don't know why the video was removed. My friend was spectacular in it.

Oh wellllll. I just uploaded a few dance videos, though Vimeo notified me that I hadn't used the correct file settings and that compromised the quality. We all look like 15 pounds heavier on Vimeo than when the video plays elsewhere. It's still watchable though, but it will be snag a little now and then. I might upload it again later with the correct settings. This is from my first college performance:

I think I posted one of Torvill and Deans' ice dance of Bolero in another thread.

but here's singin' in the Rain

Audrey Hepburn gets her groove on...without Fred Astaire

That was amazing! You are all fantastic dancers. If you all look 15 pounds heavier in the video then y'all must be super skinny irl, lol. I loved it. I'd love to see more dance videos, if you're OK with sharing more.

There's a lot of dance videos I love but I can't go on YouTube atm so I can't share them. I love the Evolution of Dance video just for lulz. He's hilarious. I like that video of the guy who goes all around the world dancing everywhere. That's so much fun. I like this old movie called Center Stage about dancers who go to a boarding school for dance in New York City. I love Dance Moms & So You Think You Can Dance. There's a lot of really great dances from those shows.

 

[Ada Lovelace]

Nice! Which one are you?

Thanks! I took the video down but am going to try to upload it again with the recommended file settings for Vimeo so it will hopefully be normalized. I'll point myself out when it's back up. I don't know the technical terms for it, but it was like the video had the opposite of an anamorphic effect with it being wider rather than taller. Anyhoo. I'm posting another video below that also looks a little widened but not as disconcertingly so.

Aw, thank you! Ha. Well it wasn't really bothering me that we looked heavier; it just felt odd seeing us not look like ourselves.

I hope you two enjoy this one. I'm the taller blonde girl and am most clearly visible at the 1 minute mark:

If I were to create a soundtrack for my life this song would be on it because I've loved it ever since I was tiny and my very first dance teacher would play it for our class. I've probably danced to it more than any other.

I actually adore it so immensely that I chose a more delicate cover of it for my father-daughter dance at this debutante-like philanthropy ball I'm being honored at for my volunteer work this winter. We're learning how to waltz for it.

Wow. I have never heard than done in a 3 beat before. It really changes the whole feel of the tune. It does still work with the lyrics.

Nice!

This is exquisite:

This is lit! That's the song from Divergent isn't it? Love it, love the dance.
