A dance to take your mind off whatever ails you — 7 Comments

  1. Skills yes. But he needs to get a better selection of scores or he’s just another freak who spent a lot of time in his room.

  2. He’s done a lot of work figuring out how it would look. Doesn’t just move. Planning. Agree with vanderleun.

    I’ve been in various bump shops, got the tee shirt and the tote bag. Sometimes bad lifts, sometimes injuries, sometimes age. And those physical therapy folks know where each muscle fiber is, too. I’d be jealous if this guy’s moves were somewhere in the range of normal humanity, but he’s so far out there it would be like being jealous of a thoroughbred for speed and looks.

  3. I hate to admit it Neo, but I usually skip over your dance posts. However, WOW! My 15 year old daughter came in and watched this one…. her response… “Way Cool!”

  4. He’s amazing, yes — but it also looks to me like they goosed it just a bit by deleting a frame or two at regular intervals, on the beat: 1/12 second skip to accentuate the staccato effect? I even watched the passing cars reflected in the glass to see if I could catch it.

    Even so, the ultimate pop and lock routine.

  5. Awesome. Hypermotility is a genetic gift I’d say. To spend the time to develop the gift is what counts. Good on him.

  6. its not hyper anything…

    its as old as magic…

    artists (mnot the modern me me me kind), have an intuition of mind and how it works and does not work…

    i know if i draw a certain way, my imasge will be creepy to you because the eyes seem to follow you…

    the whole key to this kind of dance is to watch in mirrors and to create false illusions by moving in certain ways to foil the parts of your mind that do this computing.

    they reveal… they make you aware (if you are apt)
    which is why the consumers think they are creative

    (a creative person does not feel creative… anymore than a woman wearing crushed velvet finds it as comfortable and fun as the hugger… (only if she wears it inside out))

    its funny, but all this is is a form of mime

    with fake walls, movement glitches that repeat, and so on… including faking movement to evoke.

    while he is showing his skills at mime, music, dance, and coreography…

    here is another version, based on the same core arts, but rather than do funky moves, his mime is comedy…

    ie… he mimes a translation to the song “torn”…

    another variant closer to whats in neos video is called poppin and clicking.

    and to laugh… the origin of a lot of it, is the old “robot” dance of the 60s… 🙂

    enjoy Torn!!!
