Pandora's Box

Ok this is SO COOL because the Rose Adagio is a partnered dance–Aurora does exactly what’s shown in the video, but with the prince there rotating her and holding her waist, both for the attitude balance and the pirouettes. That wobbling you see while she turns? That’s not because she’s off balance (you could literally never do this without absolutely pinpoint perfect balance), that’s from the subtle movement of her foot to rotate herself. She is all the way en pointe, rotating sheerly by veeeery slightly adjusting her foot. You may be looking at this going “I don’t know much about ballet, but this looks pretty amazing.” I know ballet, and let me tell you, this is 100%, absolutely, INSANELY difficult, impressive, and fucking radical. Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe it.

no gifs can do this scene justice

It’s so sweet and so corny/cheesy and totally something I would have done at that age.

It’s also really nice because Syd is a non-binary lesbian, so like. We get to see a character be non-binary, a teen, be happy, have everyone use their pronouns right, aaaaaaaand also a character who is gay and happy in a relationship! 

my friend is studying for the mcat and was just trying to explain to me about heat transfer and she said ‘you know, like the reason you get cold when you go outside on a freezing day is that your tiny human body is trying to warm up the entire universe’ and i think that’s the best thing i have ever heard

I kind of needed this today. Thank you.

It took me about 15 seconds in to realize what was happening in this vid, but the second I did, I legit came. This is… I got chills and got so much validation for my theories about tap and pretty much any genre of music here…

I’ve actually taken class with them and they are BEASTS. Tap dance is one of my favorite styles of dance and I’ve been doing it for 10+ years. Bless them for keeping this style alive :’)

Boost!

I just would like to take a moment and ask y'all nonblacks to think about what this does to a community. Just like, think of the general systemic effects for a moment… Thanks.

Aw hell nah 🤦🏽‍♀️
