Not happy with that Shane Sparks routine. I do think the dancers fell down on the job, but I don't think it was that strong a choreography job, either. I'm left with a big pile of meh.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Damn. Doriana pulled out all the stops on that disco routine! And Brandon and Jeanette did a great job with it. Wowza! The lifts!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's weird for me, not knowing ANYTHING about dance, to hear Mary and Nigel's criticisms, because wow, I did not pick up on any of that.
Yeah. I'm starting to get some stuff, but sometimes I'm still really surprised with what they come out with.
Not on that first Shane Sparks number, though. That was a hot mess all the way around.

Because books.
I've missed a couple now, because my mother called. ::glares southward::
I've realized I also don't much about the different styles of dance. What is jazz, exactly? Like, how is it different than contemporary? Tempo and lines?

Jazz in seen most in the angles, hands and feet. Contemporary is smoother, more like ballet but with less pointy feet.

Ah! I was going to say it seemed like contemporary was maybe more fluid.

Half the time, when they aren't ballroom, I couldn't tell you what "style" it is from looking...

If pressed, I could probably identify traditional ballet (by the shoes!), tap, and swing. And ... that's maybe it.
