I’ve just posted a new squidoo lens. It’s been a while since I made one and after watching “Take The Lead” with Antonio Banderas, I felt inspired… who wouldn’t, watching Banderas in an impressive Tango scene? (BTW, you can see what I’m talking about through a youtube video on the lens)
This one is about dance movies -you know, the ones with a usually thin plot revolving around dance in one form or another. I only have a few movies featured for the moment, and do plan on adding more soon.
Ballroom dancing is all the rage now with movies and the current, very popular Dancing With The Star show. There is a certain grace, elegance, and certainly “sexual” aspect to it that makes it mesmerizing to watch.
Here’s an exerpt of the introduction:
Dancing movies inspire us. Sure, some are the epitome of campy, but they make us want to get up and move our bodies, feel the passion of dancing, run away with the dance instructor… oh, uh, ahem, ((cough)), sorry, got a little carried away there.
As I was saying… most dance movies follow a somewhat generic plot line, this being secondary to the visual candy of the dancers. After all, that’s why we watch, isn’t it? To forget our woes and loose ourselves in a magical world.
I’ve got a few titles on my renting list. When I do watch them, I’ll add them on the lens with a quick personal note.
So take a peak, and like I said, be sure to watch the videos:
