Hip-Hop's not my fave either. But then I'm old. :-) (I think
Hip-Hop is to our generation is what Rock'n'Roll and Heavy
Metal were to the older generation of those who loved it.)
FWIW, Hip-Hop is hard, can be anyway. And it ain't for the older and more brittle. I know a semi-pro demonstration groups and those
kids can dance for long, long times. I get tired just watching
them! Is it dancing? Sure it is. No one group has the corner on
what is or isn't "dance". Any movement of the body, legs involved
usually, to music is "dance". I'm unwilling to exclude any dance
style from that definition just because I don't like it.>
When m'mother, now almost 93 and finally on her way out, first saw
The Knockers, she commented "I thought that everything that could be
done with the human body had been done" and she's even more amazed by
today's HipHoppers as am I.
Do I like what they do? No. Do I admire their skill? Yes. And
appreciate the difficulty. Yes, again.
Is it dancing? In the broadest sense, I guess it is. If it isn't
dancing, what is it?
Where do y'all draw the line? Is dancing "feet-centric"? "Rhythm-centric"? "Line-centric"? Or "move-centric"?
I think it's move-to-music-centric. I guess that's pretty broad as it
can include the jumping jiggling gyrators at the corner bar.
About the program that I saw Thursday:
Yech! Can't understand that dumb broad with the inane questions more
often than not. She seems incapable of completing an intelligible
sentence.
Although I didn't see what came before, based on the judges'
comments, the guy who was thrown out shouldn't've been and the one
who wasn't shoulda.
As has been said here and on the Dancing With The Stars board, it
isn't about the dancing; it's all about the ratings.
