Dancing

I'm feeling all in love with watching dance lately.

Last week I spied Step Up (Two Dancers. Two Worlds. One Dream.) on a cart in Circulation and decided it had to come home with me, because sometimes you just need to be reassured that dancing bridges the socio-economic divide and that juvenile delinquents will find love, direction, and fulfillment through one really successful hip hop-ballet combination dance.

Then today I discovered that there are full episodes of the TV show Fame on Hulu, so Debbie Allen and I spent some quality time together over my lunch break.

And right now I'm watching a recording of an Othello performance by the San Francisco Ballet. It's excellent, and I'm having a hard time blogging and watching simultaneously, so I'm going to quit blogging now, eat some peanut butter on a spoon, and yell at the dancer playing Desdemona to keep track of that handkerchief.
