What are you watching on Youtube right now?

Here is one of Sabrina and Ruben Veliz doing tango.

I did have dancing classes as a little girl I did ballet and tap and then when I was older I did Latin dancing.

I love their dancing.

Hi @SheffieldMan1976

Line dancing hit Canada too in the 90s. I didn't know it hit there too. So you yourself never really got into it?

Just a correction going back to a recent post where I said one of my three favourite movies with The Rock was The Mummy. Don't know why I said that! It was The Scorpion King. Have you seen it? Here's the YouTube trailer (since this thread is about YouTube 😊)...

I do love it. Truly magical.

This is the rumba danced by Sabin and Karina.

The rumba is called”the dance of love” characterised by slow fluid movement and storytelling.

Latin dancing to me is performing art. Deeply expressive.

@StarryEyed I love Christopher Walken too and watched this video a few times over the weekend! It's so great! I didn't watch the making of video that followed cos don't want to spoil it. Tune! Hotels are a liminal space, I think. The Overlook Hotel in The Shining being a great example!

I am watching Ricky Gervais do one of his Sunday lives. For me a guaranteed laugh.

Hi @Legwax 👋. Oh how delightful to meet a Christopher Walken fan! I adore him. I was saying in the liminal thread that perhaps one could consider some personalities as being liminal, suggesting Christopher Walker as being one of them. What do you think? Looking again at the video, in fact I don't think the spaces are really liminal, but Christopher Walker is and radiates this all around him. 😁 Do you have any favourite movies of his?

Ricky Gervais? Omg have you seen his dramedy series about suicide called 'After Life'? It's absolutely brilliant IMO, from the perspective of someone who thinks about suicide chronically. Some of his other stuff I find just too purposefully offensive without really any other point. But to each their own.

In case you're interested in the liminal thread, here it is....

My stupid autocorrect keeps changing Walken to Walker. How dare it???!

@Ross1975 cool!!

@Bluebell21 those two dances didn't really grab me as the movements are too jerky and fast for my liking. I'm not familiar with the other dances in you class repertoire. How is it that a person in Britain gets into Latin dancing? My friend from England who lived here for five years took salsa dancing. Latin dancing is very popular here, but it makes sense because a lot of Latin people live here and the music is influenced by Spanish music and it's the same language. So I'm interested to hear why it appeals to you.

Why did you stop taking classes?

Hi @Bluebell21 👋😊. That's awesome that such clean fun is popular. I really like the rumba and tango, from the little I've seen. Is there a YouTube channel you would recommend?

Have you explored swing dancing on YouTube? I love watching that. People typically dress informally, so that makes for a relaxing vibe. It's typically improv, which makes it more raw and spontaneous. The music is typically well-known songs with anything from the blues, to pop, to jazz, to rock....really anything. The dancing is done according to the music as well as often the lyrics. It's typically playful, sometimes silly and often sensual. On YouTube they're less formal about the swing categories and often even throw in dance moves from other types of dancing - anything from ballet to Latin dancing - but the core is always swing. Here is one of my favourite female dancers, Emeline Rochefeuille, followed by her dancing with one of my favourite male dancers, KP Rutland.

I tend to watch Car related content, alongside Motorsport and keeping up with Football transfer rumours
