Nothing to see here but dancing

Carmen (Habanera scene) - Carlos Saura (Part 2 of his 'Flamenco Trilogy', again with Antonio Gades, Laura del Sol and Paco de Lucia.)

"Love is a mutinous bird
That nobody can tame
In vain you'll call ..."

 

[SarcasticSadie]

Think originally was meant to be about Urban decay, and how things ruin if left. Others relate it to being anxious/trapped bird. Either way I think is pretty cool.

 

[SarcasticSadie]

Was more about the music than the dance, but added here as love the dance/scene also

 

[SarcasticSadie]

Cool improv’ which is beautifully controlled/filmed.

The "Turning Point" solos -Mikhail Baryshnikov

His solos from Le Corsaire and Don Quixote with commentary giving insights to those not familiar with this amazing dancer. All things were very different when you came from the Soviet Union.

Cab Calloway & Betty Boop

A slightly different take on things (yes I know its shocking that I'd ever do such a thing lol), this shows how Ari Fleischer used his patented rotoscope technique (tracing over live footage to create animation) to give the fluidity and style to his creations' dance moves.

Anchors Away - George Sidney

It was originally supposed to be Mickey Mouse but Walt Disney refused to work with MGM so Jerry was called in.

Love The Cabeza, and well danced

 

[SarcasticSadie]

One of fav’ pieces of music. The setting adds to it but also must make it so difficult to play and dance to.

 

[SarcasticSadie]

Cool choreography/dance

[SarcasticSadie]

Cool improv’ and beautifully played

Not a huge fan of NS, but went to a NS night in a club in Lon’ few months ago (Called Rivili I think), was a good night.

Hip Hop LineUp X 2025: 11 year old Miyu vs Rochka

Lindy Hop - Hellzapoppin'

Originally a long running stage show and made into a film (both entirely unique and hugely popular comedies), it highlighted the then popular swing jazz music and dance of the time. Swing jazz is a personal big time fave of mine and these guys and gals were some of the best dancers of their time. Pure joy and incredible athleticism.
