Awesome Modern Dance Choreography

Now, this is what I call dancing with heart and not worrying about conforming to a dance form's technical rules. (That's how I prefer to dance.) In fact, their movements are almost anti-conforming like contorting. Some dancers get so boggled down with the technical stuff or they conform only to the movements they were taught that they can't even just let go to dance with what they feel inside and let their bodies feel the music without sticking to just the movements they were taught. 

I guess that's why I find most ballet shows boring to watch. They are one of the most technical dance forms. That's why in ballet almost everything looks perfect, straight, with excellent posture, the turns look perfectly mechanical, etc. This is in itself a difficult skill worthy of a different type of praise. Of course, there are exceptions to some ballet shows that won't bore me but that's usually when they go out of the box of the typical ballet form. These are just my personal opinions and my preferences as a non-traditional underground dancer. I'd rather see a non-trained dancer dance with heart than a highly trained dancer dance without emotions.

All the dancers are just awesome in this video (as you can clearly see the Asian guy is the best...had to point that out with me being Asian and all), plus the song Days Turn Into Nights is by one of my favorite artists - Delerium:

I like the first half of this dance choreography because of its creativity:

Indian Dance

Art of Pole Dancing

Pole dancing is not just stripping. It can be an art or sport, but it'll take society a while to accept this due to the stereotypical connotations linked to exotic strip clubs. With that in mind, I'd like to first share this video with Whoopi Goldberg & Barbara Streissand introducing the world to this idea with an Asian female pole dancer champion as their guest performance:

The following are pole dancing videos that I found very entertaining. There is even a MALE POLE DANCER in my list below! Unfortunately, most dancers at strip clubs don't put on such artistic performances. However, there are sometimes strippers that do come close and you can only see it at a strip club which is why once a blue moon I like to sit and watch at a strip club. (No, you won't see me dancing in one. You wish! I just don't have the muscles for it.)

I can't embed the first video here for some reason so here's the link:

With this next one, you can tell by her movements that she's incorporating gymnastics into this:

The following is the male dancer (NO, IT WON'T BE DISGUSTING for you gay homo-phobes! He does it in a stage play sorta way.), but with male genitals in the way there are some limitations as you'll see here:

I think this next dancer comes from a ballet background if you notice the way she points and archs her feet:

And lastly, this is a more ballet type classical version:

By each dancer's moves, you can tell what their dance background is whether it's jazz, ballet, gymnastic, or modern dance because that is the form of dance that they usually weave into the pole dancing.
