Moulin Rouge
Strictly Ballroom
I once got to see the 1999 World Champion ballroom dancers perform in person in a hotel banquet room. I used to watch PBS coverage of ballroom dance competitions, replete with sequins and dyed feathers. The above two clips are good film portrayals of the beautiful ferocity of ballroom dance (note both films are baz films). The downside to ballroom is that indeed, it takes two to tango. As the female, I have to rely on my partner to lead. Thus we have the limiting factor. But the tango clip above is a good dose of dance inspiration that makes me think it time to give this dance form another chance.
