Jar of Hearts

This music video has an example of modern dance that is not usually shown in modern music videos. Its very emotional and tries to tell a story through dance. Very seldom do you see a music video for a genre outside of pop or hip hop that has an element of dance. It is also specifically interesting that this video has a more classical modern type of dance.

jerking

i was out in LA this past spring break and went to universal studios to watch a movie and saw a group of kids jerking to the musicians playing rock n roll music! they just jerked wherever and i just thought how crazy it was to just see these group of kids jerking and just chillin on a friday night at universal!

is dancing something we're born with?

i'm sorry but i cant dance my life. i've never been good at it! like i could never physically do what brazilian's do when they dance capoeira or stand on my tippy toes like ballerinas do. is dance really teachable? can i break it down like some of the krumpers if i practiced every day or is it something your just born with?

the dougie

teach me how to dougie might have been the most influential dance song in America this past year with famous celebrities from john wall the #1 pick overall in the 2009-2010 draft to chris brown a famous r&b singer. justin bieber also does the dougie and so does drake! i feel like the dougie really shook america like soulja boy did a few years back with "crank that". the song teach me how to dougie just makes you wana dance and move your whole body! anyone disagree?

Tap Dogs

While in London this past fall, I was going down the escalators at one of the tube stops and saw an ad for a show called "Tap Dogs." While I'm not entirely sure what the show is about, it showcased Adam Garcia, from Coyote Ugly fame.

Adam Garcia is actually a very talented tap dancer from Australia. He and his dance troupe performed in the opening ceremonies of the Sydney Olympics back in 2000.

It always surprises me how many actors and actresses are actually dancers as well. Are there any that you can think of?

Here is the video of the opening ceremonies:
