I’m a pretty smart guy, so I know what I can do and I know my limitations. I can slow dance a little, but when the tempo increases or if there’s choreography involved, forget it. I’ve tried, and while I’m willing to get up on stage and make a fool of myself, I just can’t dance to any degree of success. That’s why I hate people who can dance, and why I secretly love to watch an impressive dance routine in the movies. There’s no better dance montage than the Dancing in the Movies video from Media Solutions I found on Kottke.
The best part of all, for me, is the way they use the song “Footloose” from Kenny Loggins. Is there a catchier song from any dancing movie ever? Yes, I know everyone likes “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” from Dirty Dancing, but it’s not peppy! I also like how the video covers all styles of dancing, from comedy thrashing around to actual legitimate dancing to street-style popping and locking. There’s something for everyone, and it’s put together in a very awesome way.
