‘The House That George Built’
New York Times – Jul 22, 2007
By the 1920s the whole lower leg could swing out in Charlestons and other abandoned exercises. Songwriters celebrated that with a decade of fast-rhythm numbers. This has always been a dancing country and never more so than in the Depression when people trucked their blues away in marathons or in seedy dance halls. “Ten Cents a Dance” was better than no income at all. And the Lindy Hop was as good as a gym class too. And so on through the arrival of women’s slacks in the late 1930s and their increased popularity in World War II for both work and play-Rosie the Riveter could jitterbug on her lunch break without leaving the floor. All she needed was a beat… “Ten Cents a Dance” was better than no income at all. And the Lindy Hop was as good as a gym class too. And so on through the arrival of women’s slacks in the late 1930s and their increased popularity in World War II for both work and play-Rosie the Riveter could jitterbug on her lunch break without leaving the floor. All she needed was a beat. Which brings us with a final bump and a grinding halt to rock and roll and the totally free-form dancing of today which can be done with no clothes at all to a beat in your own head while you’re watching something else on television. The huge nonnegotiable gap between then and now is that in the past music and dancing had always been disciplined by something or other. There had always been rules for doing it right and even the wildest flights of swing and swing dancing had rested on a bed of piano lessons and dance lessons and dress codes as well.
Stars dance into Calgarians’ hearts at the Saddledome
Calgary Sun – Jul 22, 2007
When Fatone made fun of Johnson’s inability to hip-hop she shot back saying well we can’t all be Justin Timberlake. “McIntyre showed off his singing skills with a few selections from his new album Talk to Me including The Way You Look Tonight. Another break from the dancing came when clips of never-before-seen footage of Dancing with the Stars were shown on the big screen as the performers scurried backstage for one of 15 costume changes. Then it was on with the show which surprisingly had no dull moments speeding by at break-neck pace. WHAT DID YU THINK?
