Internet Dancing

Ok. I admit that I have danced naked in front of audiences for my art. I have done this to say the body is beautiful, don't censor it or call it obscene. I also like to go to clubs and dance. Nothing makes me happier than dancing with a beautiful woman. I like seeing people dance. However, I am in a bind. There are two websites devoted to people dancing and honestly to me one is not better than the other, they are very different. Ok so here are the issues. Dance Off Pants Off

is a site where people dance and take off their clothes. The music is fun although repetitive. There are graphics to enhance the viewing and as someone who studies movement it is interesting to watch. They are real performances by sincere performers. However, it borders on pornographic and for some it is unquestionably pornographic. It is also easy to understand, it does not confuse you or make you say this is weird. People dance like this all of the time everywhere except they don't usually take off their clothes.

Move-Me is a site where people dance to the instructions of established choreographers. No one takes off their clothes but the dancers are no less sexy. They are school girls and school boys, grandmothers, dancers and friends who entertain themselves and us through serious art. When I say I am a dancer, I have to hold both of these ideas in my head. It comes down to intent. Art does one thing while entertainment does another but the what separates them is sometimes blurry. I am questioning everything. So often I hear people say that they don't understand modern dance or they don't like it. Hell, I rarely like it anymore. I do find myself watching Move-Me a lot more than Dance Off Pants Off.
