I want whatever it is that these two have
Context! This is called a Jack and Jill! It's a contest in a style called West Coast Swing.
Here's the thing... it's ALL improv. The whole thing. And those two? Randomly matched.
Dance is a sport where strangers fall madly in love for a few minutes. And I need more all the time.
Here’s the thing… it’s ALL

two? Randomly matched.
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Throwback Thursday: It was 5 years ago when we were celebrating award season for The Shape Of Water, and I got to live my dream of being in an old musical dance number (dressed as an Amphibian Man, of course) with the amazing Sally Hawkins.
I know it’s on purpose but still every dead choreographer is spinning in their grave
this is so brilliant but how many times did they just crash and send each other ass over teakettle during rehearsal
The piece is “The Mistake Waltz” from Jerome Robbins’ The Concert, which is a comedic short ballet you can watch performed by the Paris Opera Ballet here :)
This is so empowering to see proving that despite how hard the churches and Canadian government tried. They failed to "kill the Indian in the child" and that we will continue to flourish in our beautiful culture ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 and we will never give up
Unfortunately, I do love you now that you can dance
It is so emotionally conflicting that robots like this are what we all dreamed of as kids but now that they’re happening we have to talk about how they’re mainly going to be used to invade people’s privacy and enforce government rules. The technology is just absolutely awe inspiring but we’re probably going to live to see it used for a whole lot of malice.

One of the best dance routines I’ve ever watched.
The Nicholas Brothers
I believe these gentlemen are scientifically classified as a liquid.
Diagnosis: sick liquid fire
Didn’t they use these dudes to help animate some of the dancing in Betty Boop?
Correct!
Even more, they utilized Cab Calloway (the band leader) and used the same rotoscoped piece of him dancing in almost 20 of their shorts!
Amazing
Tap is such an exciting form of dance.
It gets better. These are the Nicholas Brothers. They did this unrehearsed, in one take.
1. That saxophone player who kept leaning out of the way lol
2. These guys must have had thighs of steel!
amazing double dance by hao ruoqi ( in blue)and wang xuerou(in red)
OH MY GOD OH MY GOOOOD A FEW THINGS ABOUT THIS:
- the facial expressions
- the effortless sensuality
- I AM SO GAY
- the inexplicable moment in which the dynamic between the two shifted like they changed bodies
- did china allow this to be shown? china?
- DID I MENTION THE GAY
- what is the lore of this? I figured that it was a malevolent spirit shifting from one body to another
- the part with the leg. you know which one I mean
- seriously are they actresses cause this level of portrayal is more astounding than any Hollywood actress has ever amounted to
- the end with the smile and the head grab and the beating heart
- O H M Y G O D
For those wondering, the dance is based on a soul-switching scene from the movie Painted Skin II: The Resurrection and the music is Su Yunying’s Moment.
