Whilst we’re on the subject of dance, Ze Franks’s Star.me site has a “Mission of the day”. Today’s challenge is to “Paste a link to the best dancing you’ve seen on YouTube!”
By far the most frequently posted clip is the Evolution of Dance routine by comedian Judson Laipply. As someone who spends way more time than is healthy watching dance on YouTube, I find that tremendously depressing. Really? There’s people that think that’s the best dancing on YouTube?
It’s better than Gene Kelly tap dancing on roller skates? Better than Machine and Ata’s exhibition at Over the Top 2? Better than the finalists at the World Tango Championships? Better than Carlos Acosta and Tamara Rojo dancing in Swan Lake? Better than this routine by former mixed martial artist Genki Sudo? Better than this showcase by Monster Woo? Better than the Twinz Criminalz?
Yes, Evolution of Dance is an interesting routine, but, to be honest, you are out of your freaking mind if you even try to argue that it’s better dancing than Turk busting out some new jack swing in Scrubs. Ugh.
