The Friday Link for 1/19/24

Let's start with the video this week that got everyone in the world of dance abuzz! This is the University of Minnesota Dance Team 2024 Jazz performance from the national championships.  The first video is the preliminary run through, the qualifying round.  This one features the music more clearly.


WOW! I'm not a dance person, but WOW! That was freaking amazing. Here's the part I do not understand. They finished 2nd behind a VERY good Ohio State performance.  This video of the U of MN team has gone crazy, an undeniable social media sensation, with pretty much most dancers and most dance instructors calling it "historic" "mind blowing" and "ground breaking." Apparently the second set of team spins with the jump and straight into another spin has never been done before, let alone synchronized. 

Once again, the Ohio State routine was also quite good, but considering how many intelligent dance people are calling what the Golden Gophers did "unprecedented," how the heck did they finish 2nd?

Here is the post from the finals and this time listen to the crowd. 


Impressive regardless.

Finally tonight a fun little Oscar nominated animated short from 2010 called French Roast.  It's pretty self explanatory.  Enjoy! 


Be safe! Get all your vaccinations and if you are in a busy place, like an airport, please wear a mask.  

Have a great weekend!
