What type of dance class should I take? This year, I am planning on taking dance class for fun and to help supplement my competitive running. What type should I take? I am too tall to be a ballerina, so nothing with a lot of ballet technique. I am flexible, but not super flexible. I've asked people and they all suggest hip-hop, but I am not really interested in that. Any other ideas?

You might like jazz, a MTV-ish modern dance great for cross-training with other forms of aerobics. It's high-impact like running: strong, sharp with leaps and jumps. But it can be slow too with more rhythmic, low sexy slinky movements. It has pirouette turns like ballet but if you're not comfortable with that, you can break it down into 2-step turns, even 4-step turns, and you can just sweep your feet. I say half is technical, the other half is attitude and that's what makes the dance look really hip and fun.Quote:

^ Congrats :)
^ It was down to We Are Heroes and Afroborike.
Afroborike was awful, and had no business being in the final 2, so I was happy that they lost :). It was the most mismatched final 2 ever on ABDC.
^ It's nice that the deserving team wins :)
When does the next season starts? In 2 weeks? :D
^ Probably in January or February :)
Did you watch SYTYCD last night? LOL, I totally forgot about it.
^ you forgot, of all people? LOL. You better get your viewer fatigue checked out by a doctor :lol: I knew it was on, but NCIS is much more important.
Its on tonight, there's no schedule conflict so I'll watch. Shall I send the swat team to remind you?
Well, I think the only cure for my viewer fatigue is for FOX to move SYTYCD back to the summer season ;)Quote:

SYTYCD is a perfect show for the summer. Most of the viewers are probably students (including me), and so watching it is a good way to pass the summer break. Now that school has started, I'm not sure if I can dedicate three hours a week to watching SYTYCD.
^ Right about the summer break timing. For me, I've already fallen (pardon the pun) into the tv mystery shows escapism mode, totally not in the mindset for competitions!
Sorry to butt in, but I agree!! I just don't have time for that much tv during school. I liked it as a nice summer distraction :(
Classic Charm, you're not butting in! Great to have you. It seems like AmericanEagle and I the only 2 people in the whole Litnet universe who are into dance shows, we are like Ebert and Roeper in this thread! :lol:Quote:

Haha thanks.
So, a friend of mine got to see the Season Five Tour when it was in Toronto the other night. She said it was really good, and that Philip and Jeanine kept trying to come out and do their Russian Folk Dance in between all the other numbers haha. Wish I could have gone!
I wanted to see S2 but it was sold out :(
Just heard it on Conan that there was a really bad case of wardrobe malfunction on Tuesday.
^ I read that a female auditioner flashed her bare crotch.
^ Intentional? Nothing on youtube...
^ I didn't watch the episode, but I read about it online. Apparently, it seems as if a girl didn't wear anything under her dress.

I am shocked that people think that poor dancer was not wearing panties. The show is about exposing talent, nothing else.
^ good spin but she really wasn't wearing any, so she was exposing more than her talent ;)
^ I saw some screencaps, and it really did look like she wasn't wearing anything. But some people are saying that she was wearing nude-coloured boy shorts. So, who knows?
^ oh yeah that's true. Question is, the auditions are taped, right? So why didn't they cut it out? Ratings?
^ Yeah, it's probably about the ratings and publicity; to get people talking about S6.
SYTYCD's exposé is still the butt of the jokes on Conan. No pun intended this time :)
^ It would be so awkward if that girl made Top 20.
^ I can't see how they can be partial after that :goof:
Was she a good dancer? Any accomplished dancer knows better than to do that. I might not be surprised if it was one of the jokes that audition, but not a seasoned dancer.
^ I don't think that they showed her entire audition. It just showed her when the judges said: "You're going to Vegas!" She collapses on the floor and opens and closes her legs really quickly.
I saw clips of Tom Delay and my first impression of DWTS is filled with cheesy performances such as this one.
I saw the list of the Top 20 for S6. Do you want me to tell you who made it?
If you don't mind :) but don't waste your time if there's too much typing (or copy&paste) because I haven't learned their names. It'd be nice when the performance starts but I'm sure you'll have an update per episode :D
Who is this Derek guy on DWTS? Is he a dancer/choreographer or a "star"? They showed a :03 clip and for a moment he reminded me of shirtless Neil in the Latin Jazz.
Girls: (contemporary overload!)Quote:

I thought so, he seems like he knows what he's doing.Quote:

His constant camera mugging is so off-putting. He showed poor sportsmanship, too. Though I do recognize and appreciate his talent.Quote:

^ What's that mean, no competition? What's the fun of it without all the brawling when they get eliminated? Just kidding ;)
I enjoyed watching them do their own thing in the auditions and actually I thought it'd be nice to see more of that versus their doing someone else's choreography.
I guess it's more of a "Meet the Top 20" episode.Quote:

They probably won't do solos. More trios, pas de deuxs, quartets The contemporaries will dance together, the ballroom couples, mmmn tappers?
So maybe the non-elimination Top 20 episode will result in a finale Top 6? This season is getting more and more confusing.Quote:
Because of scheduling issues, the season finale episode will feature the Top 6, instead of the usual Top 4. This was to avoid starting with a "Top 18".
Maybe it's just the first episode that's "Meet the Top 20"? Then competition all the way until it's down to just 6?
