Google Inspired Me

Google's home page is fantastic today. Since I haven't finished any books lately (as I am in the midst of quite a few), I decided to diverge from my usual topic. Today I will share some videos of my favorite dance routines. 

This first was a competition. I first saw this video around 2012. It is a variation on swing dancing called the Lindy Hop. While showy at times with fantastical "swings" jumps or leaps, it is the quickness of the feet that impresses me most. Especially when the two dancers move in perfect unison. Enjoy this video of flashy pomp and whimsical fun.

This next video is by a duo, Keone and Mariel. They have other dances that are more showy, but I enjoy this one because of how well the choreography reflects and the music. The song, of course, is by Bob Marley. If you enjoy this dance, you may enjoy the higher energy dance done by them to the song Happy.

This is from a dance competition as well. They are performing a Slow Waltz. They way they glide, it seems effortless.

Next we have Fred Astaire's Famous Ceiling Dance. If you haven't seen this yet, you are in for a treat. Astaire is iconic and he really nails this routine.

And no dance video list could be complete without Sylvester. Enough said.

I hope you enjoyed this list of dance videos!
