so here's the thing. I took ballet, for 4 years... IN ELEMENTARY. and now I'm leaping across the stage with 5 other "real" dancers, 2 of them trained ballerinas. boo.
World of Dance is becoming my world for the next 6 nights, tonight's opener rehearsal was an added 'bonus' I didn't know about. Mr. Edwin G himself asked me at 5:45 if I could be at the DeJong at 6. again boo.
Turns out the opener was really a swap meet of dancing, the idea is great, modern doing cougarette jazz, ballerina's shaking their hips in ballroom fashion, and folk dancers making fools of themselves for trying to copy anything that uses upper body at all.
no, I should give us more respect, at least we have matty, he can dance better than any girl out there, most of the cougarettes included.
Folk dance, by definition, is hoping and skipping in various forms, and while its not given the credit it deserves, and can be extremely technical in its own right (Irish, clog....) Its just not a genera that melds to others, rather Folk Dancers don't leap, or cha cha. well, maybe some do. But I sure don't.
Pray for my cute legs, that they might break the 40 degree mark, pray that I don't awkwardly trip and fall as I leap with the ballerinas.

According to the wondrous Brent Keck, the lower body is at a fiesta, the upper body is studying chemistry.
No worries over a silent upper body :D
Oh, and speaking from experience, I guarantee you look better than the ballerinas attempting a samba. It's a serious dumbing down of the balletic form once you enter the Wakefield world.
