Did you ever get the feeling?


Did you ever get the feeling that when a prolific blogger doesn't post for a while or puts up a lot of "talk amongst yourself threads" that they are doing something else that they think is a lot more fun?

If you're going to hit the sauce, you CAN do a little dancing to work it off with a corps de ballet of gay commenters.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Theo, excellent video; thanks for adding the link to your comment.

The dance in the video appears to be an interpretation of a constitutional law class at a university.

The dancers represent aspiring lawyers who must first win the praise and affection of their teacher before being allowed to enter their aspirational profession, fully formed. How they struggle and strive to be pleasing!

The professor, a frigid and demanding figure, is at the center of the action. Her dress represents both work and learning; covered as it is with copies of the constitution as well as papers written by her students, and offered as gifts for her approval.

Note the uniformity of the dancers. They are alike in costume, appearance, demeanor, attitude, effort and objective. This artistically represents 'diversity', a trait much sough-after in academia, bringing a wonderful sense of reality to the performance.

The symbolism of motion is a vital part of dance. The dancers at stage front circulate from right to left, always, twirling and smiling with joy as they move form right to left.

This symbolic re-birth of the supplicants evolves throughout the performance, with the teacher smiling benevolently at her students as they move ever to the left.

All in all, a worthwhile performance, and an excellent interpretation of a constitutional law class.

Wow, Michael. Looks like you've got the job of dance critic for "77Square" on Madison.com.

And you were complaining about Lady Gaga videos!

Theo - Ha! I probably could do that, except my trips to Madison are a bit too infrequent.
