Modern

I’m not a huge fan of modern dance. A friend of mine once referred to it as “twitching to Tori Amos” and I confess that I can’t help but always think of it in those terms. I’m the same with contemporary ballet, by and large. I spend the whole time watching it thinking, “Turn out your feet!”

The following clip is a modern ballet piece called “Amelia” by a dance troupe called La La La Human Steps. It’s still not really my style, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t appreciate precision when I see it.

Funny about the name. What popped into my head while I was watching it was, “This girl isn’t human; she’s an android.”
