Funky dancing

Yowza.

I love old Hollywood musicals, so when I came across this video, I had to share. It's clips from many old Golden Era movies set to a contemporary song ("Uptown Funk"), and it's easy to see why it's been viewed more than 9 million times since it was posted on October 6.


From this column came the following explanation:
DIY Network introduces the creator of this video:

"Michael Binder is what you would call a 'movie aficionado' through and through. He's probably watched just about every single movie you've ever heard of, twice. In fact, Binder loves movies so much that he's managed to make a career writing about them and talking about them for his hundreds of followers.

"But when he saw the mega viral hit that featured a bunch of dance scenes from popular movies matched up to the incredibly popular song, 'Uptown Funk,' he was instantly inspired to do a similar mashup, only he wanted to use dance scenes from movies that only came out of the Golden Age of cinema.

"It took him a long while to find the perfect clips which properly conveyed the energy and passion, but after he scanned through hundreds and hundreds of movies from 1953 and earlier, he finally edited together an absolutely stunning video featuring some of our favorite dancers and singers.

"Not only did Binder have to be aware of the dance sequence in his head, but he had to time it properly with the music without speeding up or slowing down the original footage.
Way cool stuff.

Going to a dance

The girls received a last-minute invitation yesterday to attend a dance in a nearby town. I volunteered to drive.




Country dances are something else. They're a combination of swing, square dancing, and line dancing -- and a WHOLE lot of fun!


I didn't want to use a flash in these photos so most of the people are blurry, but the blurs just illustrate how fast everyone was moving.





There's no raunchiness, there's no bumping and grinding... just a lot of young folks getting together and having the time of their lives.



Everyone dresses casually but modestly, and all ages are welcome.




This, my friends, is the way dances ought to be!

Dance of a thousand hands

I invite you to watch this awesome video clip of some Chinese dancers. Here is the info that accompanied the video:



"There is an awesome dance called the Thousand-Hand Guanyin which is making the rounds across the net. Considering the tight coordination required, their accomplishment is nothing short of amazing, even if they were not all deaf.

Yes, you read correctly. All twenty-one of the dancers are completely deaf.

Relying only on signals from trainers at the four corners of the stage, these extraordinary dancers deliver a visual spectacle that is at once intricate and stirring.

Its first major international debut was in Athens at the closing ceremonies for the 2004 Paralympics. But it had long been in the repertoire of the Chinese Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe and had traveled to more than forty countries.

Its lead dancer is 29 year old Tai Lihua, who has a BA from the Hubei Fine Arts Institute. The video was recorded in Beijing during the Spring Festival.
