Dance Stills: The Art of Contemporary Captured in Film

I found this picture on Tumblr that just took my breath away. I just wish I knew who this dancer was, but regardless this picture just reminds me why I love dance so much.

Artist Spotlight: Lady Gaga Premieres "Marry the Night" Music Video

Yesterday, Lady Gaga premiered the visuals to her next single, Marry the Night, off of her third album Born This Way. Of course, Gaga presents us with a philosophical short-film to introduce the video, where it then goes into the main number, and boy do I tell you the choreography takes the cake! Laurieann Gibson did much justice to this song choreography-wise, bringing the 1980's New York City aesthetic to life in the movement and direction. For more of Lady Gaga's videos, you can visit her official YouTube channel.

The remake of Footloose, a movie about an urban boy who moves to a rural area where dance and rock is banned, is set to debut on October 14, 2011. In the 1984 version, Kevin Bacon played the role of the dancing rebel, and this time around Kenny Wormald is filling the shoes. The trailer got me interested, so we'll see if Wormald can revive this classic story! View the trailer above and judge for yourself.
