Voice Dance May2010

Choreography that slices open the melon, exposing the intricate life of a growing pod.  The juices rise to heal the incision willingly offering seeds and pulp for nourishment and pleasure. Choreography that splashes the taste of chocolate in explosive man and woman, I not only savor their melding of darkness and sweetness, I bounce with them [...]

So You Think You Can Dance: And Then There Were Three…

August 12, 2010 · Posted by This Momma Can Dance ·
It’s the first of two finale nights on Season 7 of So You Think You Can Dance, and while I regret Alex not being here with all my heart, I wish Kent, Lauren and Robert luck as we launch into the first night of the Top 3 Performances! Who will win America’s Favor? Let’s find out. First up is All-Star Lauren and Kent with a Nakul Dev Mahajan Bollywood routine. Can Kent deliver the cheese? And the lightning-fast hand gestures? Oh most definitely. There could have been even more cheese in my opinion, but the dance moves were simply too fast ...

Top Four Perform on So You Think You Can Dance!

August 5, 2010 · Posted by This Momma Can Dance ·
We’re here, the Top Four before the Finale to crown America’s Favorite Dancer! Let’s get started. Music Recap to follow this post, so if I don’t mention choreographers, don’t worry, I will! All four start out in a Tyce DiOrio Broadway routine from Guys and Dolls. And they are excited to work with Tyce! This piece was decent, but nobody seemed to really shine in it. I also was constantly distracted by Lauren’s dress which looked like it was unbuttoned in the back, but I figured out it was just the design. This was a complete dud for me, unfortunately. I ...

July 29, 2010 · Posted by This Momma Can Dance ·
Aaaaaaaaand Billy Bell is back IN! After getting spanked for not dancing on the results show, that is. Seems that he was better on Thursday and said he wanted to wait it out. Good for him, I say. Gave America a chance to drool over some other dancers for a change. Don’t get me wrong, I am a Billy Bell fan. It’s just…whatever–what happened last night you ask? The top six performed again on SYTYCD, after the judges made a never before made decision to NOT cut anyone last week because they couldn’t make up their frackin minds. I don’t blame ...

Mathematical Models of the Sublime

July 24, 2010 · Posted by dance out there ·
Photo by Heidi Romano Walpole & SisterJuly 15, 2010Dancehouse, Melbourne Sisters and artistic collaborators Grace and Helen Walpole deal in an intriguing genre of performance; combining scientific theories with artistic explorations. Their latest creation is a dissertation on mathematics, infinity and how these scientific concepts relate to the body through the experience of pain.It could be dry, but the Walpoles have cleverly constructed the piece to undulate through poetry and improvised dance, arriving at both abstract and literal representations of such advanced concepts as hyperbolic space and logarithmic perception.The result of this complex amalgamation ...

The Top Six Perform on So You Think You Can Dance

July 21, 2010 · Posted by This Momma Can Dance ·
Yes, there have been a LOT of upsets on Season 7 of SYTYCD. Two of the best dancers are gone, and not because of lack of votes. My first pick for early choice to win is gone. The best female dancer on the show is gone. What NEXT? Billy Bell sidelined with a knee injury? Oh, what’s that? Billy’s injured? Oh. Gorgeous, wonderful, teddy bear Kenny Ortega is a guest judge tonight which is really amazing and a great treat for us. Sa-weeeet! Does anyone know what Cat Deely is wearing tonight? My husband said it looked like her original dress had ...
