Ken Berry dancing? And singing? Wow! His singing style reminded me of Bing Crosby. :biggrin:

Lauren Cuthbertson is one of my favorite ballet dancers.

There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.

That was GORGEOUS! I love ballet and really need to watch more of it. It's amazing how the dancers move and some of the positions they can tie themselves up in.

Thanks so much for sharing that!

I'm so glad you enjoyed that. The first time I ever saw her was this video of a rehearsal of the nutcracker. I really enjoyed watching the rehearsal video and started looking for other videos of her. I was so amazed when I saw the one above, so different from the other videos of her dancing all the traditional ballets.

Tis Native American Heritage month so, here we go.

Fancy Shawl


Northern Fancy


Grass Dance. This one is a reminder that it is a living culture with developments over time. It tends to be the category with the most fads, but even the Northern Traditional style has changed over time.

‘Bob Fosse’s Dancin’ Returns To Broadway This Spring

Bob Fosse’s Dancin’ will return to Broadway this spring, 41 years after the original hit production left the stage.

The musical revival will begin previews at The Music Box Theatre on Thursday, March 2, 2023, with opening night set for Sunday, March 19. Producer Joey Parnes made the announcement today.

The production will be directed by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento, a cast member of the original Broadway production, and produced in cooperation with Nicole Fosse.

The new staging, producers say, will be “utterly reimagined for the 21st century.” The revival, they said in the announcement, “brims with a level of warmth, emotion, and color seldom seen in modern interpretations of Fosse’s influential style and features some of his most inventive and rarely performed choreography.”

Music makes you lose control, Missy Elliott once sang on a hit that is almost impossible to hear without bopping along. Now scientists have discovered that rats also find rhythmic beats irresistible, showing how they instinctively move in time to music.

This ability was previously thought to be uniquely human and scientists say the discovery provides insights into the animal mind and the origins of music and dance.

“Rats displayed innate – that is, without any training or prior exposure to music – beat synchronisation,” said Dr Hirokazu Takahashi of the University of Tokyo.

“Music exerts a strong appeal to the brain and has profound effects on emotion and cognition,” he added.

I'm sure I've bored you all before with my Jackie Chan fan girl posts. As I've noted before, his unique comedic style of Kung Fu is due to him not being trained in martial arts, but in theater, music and dance. He picked up Kung Fu so he could be cast in the film genre as a young wanna-be actor.

Here is the umbrella fight scene from Shanghai Knights which highlights his dance skills.

I adore Jackie Chan too. In fact I might try to convince the mr to watch some tonight.

He‘s on a The Chi binge, which I really didn’t want to watch cuz I knew I’d fall in love with the characters and SO MUCH BAD SHIT HAPPENS TO THEM. Too late. My heart is broken.

What, why is organ music in the Dance thread?



I was working up the Prelude and Fugue up a while back and got sidetracked. I need to get back to it. It's fun

I get that sometimes, too, although I generally don't try to post from FB out. My Firefox settings are set to keep Facebook from tracking me, too. It also means I never see a Facebook post here.
