I am sure it would blow everyone away. I simply think that it is a shame that what you see on TV, mostly this type of swing or dance is the only thing most americans get to equate with the various dances. (not the real deal) Lame...<br /><br />What is the state of social dance today. Is there a real "current" social style or dance or couples dance that even comes close to the classics. I think swing is the most current in history. Wouldn't' it be great to invent a style/dance that incorporates all that is amazing about swing and other social dances. A style that accommodates current pop music, hip hop -( well anything current that you can dance to) but, a couples dance that actually has form (not just bump and grind, two individuals dancing separately) Maybe there is such and thing and I am just to old to know about it. But - if I could devote the amount of my life to dance that I would like. That is what I would be up to. What do you think?<br /><br />Oh, and I think that just because you choreograph something does not mean it has to get all "jazz handy"<br /><br />Sorry, just a ranting really---<br /><br />-dAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230444592017576080.post-89378208373273844392009-06-18T14:55:11.930-06:002009-06-18T14:55:11.930-06:00Anonymous - true, but the style of swing you'r...Anonymous - true, but the style of swing you're thinking of is social, and the nature of this show is choreography, so it can't really be avoided.Jessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10246039305632102747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230444592017576080.post-18737393181844678052009-06-18T14:23:15.625-06:002009-06-18T14:23:15.625-06:00Maybe I am just a snob when it comes to swing.

That is pretty important. But - I guess the dance I am used to lends itself to a more free and spontaneous nature, and suffers when it is choreographed too much. <br /><br />- those kicks could have been way LESS snappy in my opinion.. I would have left them out.. and the jazz hands, they make me really uncomfortable.<br /><br /><br />-dAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
