Not trying to clown on anyone or anything. It’s just that I’m watching a dance game show right now and I’m just :jesse-wtf: the whole time. It’s like this for every time I see dancing. I get it’s fun and could be impressive but… I just don’t get it :duck-dance:

    In terms of performance art, the point of dance is "what can we communicate purely with the language of our bodies and our movements" and the art of dance is the depth of subjective interpretation of that communication.

    In terms of spectacle, it's sick to watch routines that people practice for months on end. Be it songs, dance, etc. When there's multiple people, you can get this sick af synchronizing effect where everything just hits exactly where everyone in the group wants it to that never gets old to watch. Sick moves, clearly practiced, I can't do em, so that's cool af.

    In terms of communal dancing, sometimes the vibe just calls for some :duck-dance: with comrades.

    :lt-kitsuragi: "Are you kidding me?"

    :lt-dbyf-dubois: "It's all a *joke* to you, isn't it?! Chain of command -- joke! Future of dance -- joke! Well, no more! Cut a rug, lieutenant!"
