Dance dance dance...
I have this new show that I watch. I really enjoy it. It's an american reality tv show called Dance Moms. And I cannot stop. The thing is, it's so horrible and aweful and the steaeotypes. I just cannot believe people like this exist. The drama in this is so strange to me, because all the time I feel that if they just sat down and had a decent respectful chat all the drama would be gone. I know that would not make for dramatic reality tv and I bet most of it is staged. But me personally, all I care about is the dance.
Also, this competition system thing, is this something unique to the us? Every weekend those children go to competitions and win medals. I get that with sports. Like swimming. But as a teen I danced 5 times a week and the goal was to create a show on stage. It was to express myself. It was never ever a competition thing.
Now I love so you think you can dance as well and sometimes the dancers talk about having met people at competitions, so I knew before that they exist andat the last SYTYCD show Allison Holker told that her choreography was about her a Twitch. I had no idea they were dating or that they were engaged. But since I love them both I used google and they had an interview about the fact that they do competitions every weekend. So I guess that is a thing that dominates the dance worl is america. Here you audition to be on a show or a musical or something, but I've never heard that competitions exist exept maybe in street dance, but that is something that came here from the us.
Anyways, I think it's interesting. I wonder if the competitions are a good or a bad thing. They will certainly generate experience and it's something that people can put on their resume. But it also creates pressure on something that is an artform.
