Comments on: So you think you can dance? http://cuindependent.com/2009/10/14/so-you-think-you-can-dance/ University of Colorado Daily Student Newspaper Site in Boulder: Breaking News, Sports, Entertainment, Opinion Mon, 13 Dec 2010 10:10:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Phil http://cuindependent.com/2009/10/14/so-you-think-you-can-dance/comment-page-1/#comment-628 Phil Thu, 15 Oct 2009 22:54:02 +0000 http://cuindependent.com/?p=7003#comment-628 I rarely comment on an article that I come across; however, one post, that has now been removed, encouraged me to do so. While I consider Bui's analysis of the bar scene to be spot on, we must acknowledge that the "power thrusters" and "swayers" are exactly what some girls are in the market for. As self conscious human beings, we seek out situations that require minimal communication. Thus saving us from the vulnerability of having to use our words. But nonetheless, regardless of whether "thrusters" are accepted, the existence of such techniques does a disservice to the beauty that is dancing. Done right, dancing allows two people to communicate on a higher level and construct a story with the movement of their bodies. There are actions appropriate for the bedroom and actions that belong on the dance floor, they are not one in the same and for this reason we should never surmise that someone's quest for intimacy translates into an acceptance of faceless and often time atrocious dancing. To assume this results in a demeaning of sex and dancing alike. I rarely comment on an article that I come across; however, one post, that has now been removed, encouraged me to do so.

I think pArt of the problem stems around y'all sucombing to all the assholes out there just because they're paying attention to you. Might want to try the guy who's patiently bobbing back and forth instead of waiting to be accosted by the butt humping sleeze. Good article kid.
