And I’m so sorry for that! I humbly beg your pardon, I got caught up in some family and home affairs this fall. I should have more time soon to devote to the love of dance.
I did enjoy the rest of the fall season of Dancing With the Stars and was surprised at how far Bristol Palin actually got. Good for her! I watched her very critically all season and the only critique I had for her was to STOP being embarrassed and really enjoy herself. But geez, you go from speaking at a few abstinence rallies to frickin’ DANCING on national LIVE TV? She did great.
My absolute fave star was Kyle Massey. What a treat to watch. Absolutely the “Entertainer” of the season. I really wish that he would have won. But by the end we knew what would happen.
I knew by semi-finals that Jennifer Grey would win the trophy, especially when Brandy got the boot. Too bad for Brandy. Well done on Jennifer’s part, but I really could have done without aaaaaallllll the draaaaaaaama. I am not a fan of the drama queens. But, congratulations to her anyhow. She worked hard and deserved it.
The new season’s coming late spring, and the new season of So You Think You Can Dance, so I will be back with more comentary and with more dance quotes and lovely dance videos, so stay tuned!
In keeping with the start of the Halloween season, Darren Aronofsky’s (Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain) new film is called Black Swan. What happens when you marry ballet and horror? This does:
I never thought I would ever say these words: ballet is creepy, geez. And what about the black feathers poking through her shoulders (shudder). I love Darren Aronofsky, and The Fountain is one of the most beautiful and sad movies ever made. I adore Natalie Portman as well. I will give this one a try!
Yes, I have neglected you, my reader public and I have to apologize.
Chalk it up to a busy personal life: closing on our first home (yea!), attending a busy and long family reunion (fun), and celebrating (and singing at) my dear brother’s dream wedding in Napa Valley, CA. And yes, you will be hearing more about that as there was a LOT of DANCING!
I will be back, if sporadically at first as we move in to our house, to write about all that is beautiful and interesting in the dance world (starting with So You Think You Can Dance, yes).
Sorry for my lack of posting lately, I beg your forgiveness. My family and I are in the midst of a house-hunting frenzy (and if you’re shopping for a house now in SoCal, you know how difficult it can be). Lots of driving around, lots of open houses. We could be close to an offer acceptance, so please cross your fingers for me!
I will attempt to post regularly next week, so continue to tune in for more Dancemomma!
