ugh. dance moms.
the world of competitive dance.
so artless.
i watch these little girls become fixated on becoming winners instead of artists
and they all have this horrible grin they’ve planted on their face that’s so artificial
dance at the heart of things is kinesthetic response and interpretation to an idea or emotion…usually musical. and i watch these girls move like dancing automatons. robots to be exact.
this is another reason why so many of the top competitive figure skaters today are so boring to watch.
i don’t want to watch a routine that showcases technique. i want to watch a routine that showcases passion that employs technique and tricks as a means to display that.
blargh. and don’t get me started how these mothers let their daughters wear full makeup to dance rehearsal. wtf.
