Everyone Happy 4th of July.
This have been long time coming. Actually I started MySpace with a dancer. You might not realise this from my blog. Because I’ve not figure out how to give these people justice with any comments.
If you have ever really danced before then you realise what I’m talking about.
Dancing is like talking to God with your body. You move, you are in touch with every muscle in our body. Including your toes. Yup, you might not realise it, that tight skin under your every toes and the bulk on top of it, is muscle. I have strained them at times. HAHA! You would pull muscle you never know you have when you dance.
A lot of my female friends have avoided doing any exercises because of the sweat and heat. What I really hate actually is to have my body be sweating in a sauna or a diety massages. I thought it’s not really something meaningful. Let go of yourself and let other people massages you, you have no connection at all with your own body. Which is why I like dancing.
When I tell my friend what I do behind the close door of my bachelor pad, they just laugh and think I’m so lonely and stupid to dance alone. Though I like dancing with a partner but my work place is not exactly a place hot for dances. So I dance on my own. Sometimes it’s great. Sometimes it’s sexy, sometimes It’s hip hopy, anything I like. I get a great workout. Got great muscle under that belly of mine. Yup strange when you think about it. You got great muscle but they are below some fat. HAHA! But i know that I’m much healthier than anone else so that’s ok. And you get hot and sweaty, got all the toxine out, stretch every muscle you have and twist them a bit at times, got the adrenaline all pump up, and you have a peaceful and quiet time with God where you interact with your elegant and flowy dance move.
Which makes me realise why I love watching people playing Piano and when I’m playing one. It’s like finger dancing on the keyboard and it’s elegent and every punches on the board is a note and a step and a tempo. I just love it.
So what’s a blog post without a any introduction to some of the best dancer I’ve ever seen or have the privilege to know. I do think that dancers are under-preciated nowadays. But it’s an art that’s so amazing that I feel not everyone can do it. I can dance but not like a pro.
So first up will be Nick Baga of futhermucker's roommate, Kenny Wormald. He is by far one of the best dancer I’ve ever seen. He may not wow you with every twist or jump, but he got the flow. Which I feel makes dances much more cooler than it is. Some lock, some flow and some break at places that are remarkably unexpected and if you haven’t seen him did it, you have no idea that can be done in the ways he design it. If I’m not mistaken he did choreography with Justin Timberlake. Now I think he just got off the movie Center Stage 2 as the male lead in the movie. Can’t wait to see it. With his good look I always think he could do more that dancing alone. Though we know that a true dancer soul always have their minds on dances. But i think, like J Lo, you never have to limit yourself, you can be all of it. Just do it one thing at a time and make sure you give them all your best. Kenny also have a charm to him that I think. From what I heard he is a good and natural guy to be around. Always good for business in this business, when people feel easy around you.
Second up is someone from the same studio, Blake McGrath, I believe he is one of the most requested dancer in the business. Reason is that he does all the flip, jumps and twist and turn in the sickest and craziest ways. Although sometimes I think he can get a bit over the edge. But he is one of the best you can get when you want some moves that’s totally amazing. As any dancers, unless you are a choreographer in Millenium most of them would just expand to other career move when the times comes and the opportunity arises. So McGrath has a CD out. And it’s one of the most surprising music I’ve ever thought that he can deliver. He sound great in it. Well if you are asking, he has dances with some of the most famous singer out there like Janet Jackson.
So when you got guys, of course you want to include some girls. Staci Flood is one of the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen dancing. Usually you think that dancer is lower than singer or celebrity, but they are not. They just like dance and that’s just their starting point. Everyone goes through it all. Stci too, Dances, Model, and sings. Well, who would have thought, and she does, break great moves, carry a great tone and does a stunning photo or commercial.
Well if you are thinking yes, most of the dancers you have already know. They are either in the TV shows or movies or some I know from internet.
I thought I can’t just start off with someone that no one knows. And my inspiration is not there yet either. Because these are the people that I felt comfortable to write about.
There are some great ballet dancer out there too. Which I love to watch but to talk about it’s a visual thing, Ballet you have to see they fly to feel it. So I’m gonna go with something more contemporary.
Who else? Oh Channing Tatum. Now here’s someone you think is totally cannot dance. Before this he is a pretty face with a great body. And you think wrong. He is the total triple thread. He start with modeling, then I think movie and dancing comes later. Actually If I’m not wrong, he always knows how to dance, then there’s the modelling, and what follows if what makes him so well-known know, which is acting. People love him, because he has the great southern look, handsome won’t hurt and his natural shyness is something that could capture people’s heart. I learn about him when he is a model. But I actually take notice about him when I watch Step Up. Before that some movie roles, but not exactly impressive. In the movie he just shines. Though at times the director cover his mistake in moves when he is not as good in dancing. But still, that last piece of the movie. He is the icon and no one can ever replace it. And I think he did great as a dancer
Well you can’t talk about step up without talking about Jenna Dewan, she is the pro. Take the lead have already introduce us to her, but of the same year, Step Up really just Step it up another beat and take her to a higher level. She moves great. I think probably she is not the perfect body shape for a Ballet Company, well, everyone knows that Ballet Company are very critical about every muscle shape and heights. But she look just fine as a dancer and he got some of the best move to me.
Talking about Step Up, I wonder how Robert Hoffman got his role in the sequel haha! Does the jerk on She’s the Man have to take over the lead from Channing HAHA! Not that he is less good in fact if you ask me. Robert have a better piece from the second movie than Channing. He got the look of the character just right and he moves simply smoother than Channing. It’s as fresh watching the movie as if you are watching the first.
Talking about movies. One dancer I think is as good as Fame or Flashdance is Sascha Radetsky from the first Center Stage. He have one of the most unique look. And the way he dances the ballet is wonderful. His body is the perfect shape for ballet i think. Not exactly some of the usual talk and thin kind. But the right shape in the right area and it felt masculine too. And the way he moves simply spell elegant. Love it.
While most of the people love the winner of "So you think you can dance", both Nick and Niel are great dancer. Everyone have seen how they dances. But in my mind, I see something better in Pasha Kovalev and Craig DeRosa. Pasha in my opinion moves the best, the way his body shape and when he dances it. Elegant, more like a ballet in pop. Every step spell, beauty and masculine in every shape of his body which is beautiful to look at when he dances. And Craig has the power in every moves and the way he twist and turn is as good as Blake. And he is as good looking and have almost the same body shape. In fact in most of the situation his moves is much powerful than elegant. But i guess inexperience does plays a role in a show like SYTYCD.
Well, when you talk about one dance show, you can’t forget the most watched on, which is Dancing with the stars. While a lot of people are focusing on the star, Mario Lopez, Julio. I was looking at the true star of the show. The pros.
Mark Ballas and his cousin, Derek Hough, makes the competition much more interesting to watch each time. They have danced together for ages with Hough sister, both good looking, both moves in great stature and the choreography is spotless. Well, to top it off they form a duet called Almost Amy and sings. Actually they are great to listen to.
