While we're all thinking about dancing in the quarry, wearing sneakers and protective auras, let's not forget about another dance world, this one on Fox TV. If you're not watching "So You Think You Can Dance," shame on you. If you like dance at all any way any time, this is really must-see. Ignore the pandering to and of the judges, the stupid cutenesses, and concentrate on looking at what people can do with their bodies. The dancers are paired at random, and then are given dance styles at random: Susie and Johnny and Latin dance, for example, even if Susie is a "Contemporary " dancer (can someone explain what that it? It seems like modern dance without the edge, performed in halter tops and biker shorts) and Johnny is a hip-hopper from LA. Not to mention the odd styles of hip hopping: locking, popping, skanking (or maybe skank is the adjective).
Of course it's a competition, and of course people get voted off, but it's not too traumatic for those of us sitting on our couches with our feet in parallel first. Alice
