States of Undress During Dance Performance

[cornutt]

And what are we supposed to think about the gimmick? That dancers (like politicians and
clergy) can't keep their pants on?

Well, I've know some who couldn't...

I have a different take on it- the human body is something to be celebrated not hidden away in disgust- nothing about the body freaks me out- it's amazing...our pre-conceived notions about sexuality and modesty are what freaks us out

Pretty sure it was meant to be a bit of a joke because of all of the routines where the woman rips off a skirt or dress and continues with a much skimpier costume. As such, I like it.

Not Jive but...

What the HAYLE...

You really want to see a guy in his skivvy's dancing the jive?

Not particularly. On the other hand I would like to see a good looking young lady dressed with a minimal amount of Victoria's Secret underwear dancing the jive, so it's only fair that they both are required to do it.

It might be interesting to see which one has the most jiggle.

It was only a matter of time before this happened.

I give him credit for wearing matching socks.

But the black shoes have got to go. And maybe, in person, he needs fishnets?

Er...NO.

I like to see people covered up, mostly. And I do think the human body is beautiful. Just saying.

I actually agree with you, ha.

Look, I am no prude, so I don't know why I feel this way, and I like to flaunt my assets in real life so maybe this makes me a hypocrite, but I really hate when anyone perpetually dances shirtless or in a dress consisting of three tiny ribbons that doesn't cover anything. The first place my mind goes is "Is that ALL you have to offer?"

Derek Hough is the only exception because to me, it's not even a little bit about his body (which, sidenote, is glorious) - I have not EVER been like OMG shirtless Derek! It's always "DUDE, his movement quality is INSANE" like I swear can hear the man's ribs crunching when he moves. I study it because I wanna dance more like him. Which is weird cause I'm a girl. So probably that means I need to fix my life. -_-
