com is a project by Elastic Illusion a group of California break-dancers who want to bring the joy of movement to the cubicle while also possibly raising the standards of the office party in the process.

Pop Life: Dance Fever

What happened? She in rehab yet? I think of her sometimes while watching So You Think You Can Dance. Now this is a TV talent show where losing your shit is the whole point. The dancers work so hard suffer so much physical pain putting their bodies through the most intricately choreographed forms of torture believing all the while that America can tell a well-above-average Viennese waltz from a slightly-below-par pasodoble. It’s a swirl of fox-trot frottage and silly feathery costumes yet underneath the vaguely creepy and indestructible yowsah-yowsah smiles there’s a real whiff of emotional desperation that makes the show special. These flash dancers need to be loved so bad it’s scary… Like most fans of So You Think You Can Dance I wouldn’t know a pasodoble if it beat me with a rake. But I love how they lecture about the art of the dance in such lofty terms and then send Lauren out to solo to Kevin Federline’s “PopoZao. ” That’s entertainment!Like any other reali-talent show So You Think You Can Dance makes you identify with your favorite contestant — gawky Cedric! Sassy Pasha! Lusty Lauren! Lacey the hustle queen! Hok the Japanese break dancer! It even hints at budding romances between the dancers in the classic shameless Ice Castles tradition. But they blend into a big chorus line of eager-to-please dementia. This show really reminds you how dancers are different from other showbiz types. The singers who show up seem calm and well adjusted by comparison. Yes even Hilary Duff.

Some are laughed at others are admired for their athleticism or rhythm. Thomas a 300-pound-plus defensive tackle from Florida did a back-flip that so astonished his teammates he was quickly mobbed by several of them as the crowd roared its approval. “I actually saw it in college once and when he did his workouts for the pro scouts” coach Mike Shanahan said. “A lot of his coaches were there… “In the morning I didn’t have a really good pass rush and there were a couple things that coach and I were working on for this afternoon and I came out this afternoon and made the corrections as far as my angling off the line of scrimmage” Moss said. “I didn’t do well on my pass rush and I was really down on myself about it so I’m going to go watch the film tonight and I’m going to go work. I’m just going to go look at myself and break down everything I did well and break down the bad things too and see if I can’t come out tomorrow and just correct them all. ” Moss also got the rookie treatment. “It’s camp time so all the older guys are starting to pick up their bullying but we’re having a good time” Moss said. “You go through the same thing when you first get into college. I was prepared for it coming in yesterday.
