ballroom-danceAfter yesterday’s entry, and the suggestion from Susan about other amazing dance shows like Fire of Anatolia (yes, it’s hot!), I got to thinking about the world of dance and went on a video hunt for something else awesome.   In addition to deciding I need a 12-Step Program to help me with my YouTube addiction, I unearthed some very interesting videos.

I’d originally planned to feature some clips of “classic” dance numbers to introduce you all to various types of dance, but what I have ended up with is (I think) much more interesting.

I found great videos of dances in quite a few genres, but there’s something a bit different about these clips.  I can’t seem to get the audio portion of the videos to match the sort of dance that ought to be there….

For instance, here’s a great VW commercial featuring Gene Kelly and “Singin’ in the Rain”, but somehow the dance itself seems different, don’t you think?

Now while you may have seen the above clip, I’ve gone into the wilds of the Internet where normal folks just don’t go and found six songs with six different dances — can you match them up?   You’ll be able to see which dance goes with which song tomorrow, and I assure you that you’ll be amazed!

1. “Superstition – Stevie Wonder A. Ballet
2. “Swan Lake” – Pyotr Tchaikovsky B. Silly Cats
3. “Look on the Bright Side” – Eric Idle C. Pole dance (hubba hubba!)
4. “Around the World” – Daft Punk D. The Charleston
5. “Sexyback” – Justin Timberlake E. Tap Dance
6. “Numa Numa” – O-Zone F. Belly Dance
