Danse du Jour

[shanmonster]

I think today's dance clip is an excerpt from Latcho Drom, a documentary on Rromany nomadic culture. I like this clip because it shows how everyday sounds serve as music and rhythm for dance. And just watch those barrel turns. Excellent.

Watch on YouTube

Yes, that is from Latcho Drom. I was lucky enough to see it with roya_spirit (from bellydancing) in a local art house theater. I think we both stopped breathing when that girl came out from behind the tree and started dancing. And yeah, we couldn't get over those barrel turns, either. Amazing.

I'm not stalking your LJ, I promise. It's just a really slow day here today.

Nomadic Industrial music eh? ;)

That was cool. I wish I had clothes like that.

maybe the most worn-out bit of tape in many a dancer's library! gives me chills and teary eyes every time.
