Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

Halloween!!!

#some great moments in here #you know what's funny though. i didn't notice they switched who was leading/following multiple times #my husband pointed it out and i had to watch it again. and sure enough #seems like something i would have noticed but ya know i think i was too invested in the actual dance lol #i did notice it once in the previous video. bit more blatant there #but uhhhh yeah. fingers crossed. would love to see them do more with the switching going forward #also fine with it if they don't 🤷‍♀️ don't get me wrong #Youtube

#they are so precise in their movementsssss they look so good #Youtube

yessssss

#listen. these are short. if i post all 16 of them tonight mind your business #Youtube

#not their most exciting but i think maybe that's just how it is with waltzes? or at least Strictly waltzes #seems like in general they're kinda slow so you gotta focus on the story above all (and i do like that!! not complaining)#like you can't just be dancing. you gotta have the most tender expressions on your faces. act or go home #has been my observation anyway #Youtube

oh they DO have the range!!

#what a journey i'm having this evening!#this is obviously my favorite so far #Youtube

oh so are all their music choices this corny? 😅 they look great though

#i still have like 14 videos to go #Youtube

SO good

i will be real with you - the backup dancers in the middle of this video Did piss me off because i mean. they just defaulted to the gender roles that are always present on these shows. i feel like they didn't consider doing anything else for even one second. i really find that unacceptable.

quick context: it appears this was historic for Strictly. this is two of the professionals i think, but it appears they actually had a same-sex dance couple competing regularly the year after this. (i'll be watching them and posting them here obviously lol)

i'm sure the argument would be that they're trying to tell a story, "oh everyone else is straight so they probably feel so alone or like they don't fit in" or whatever, but a) it really wasn't necessary other than to give the dancers extra time to get back on the roof. there was a CLEAR story just from the main couple. and also b) i don't know man, i just don't care about that. i want non-traditionally-gendered couples to be normal, not exceptional. why are you putting the thing that is sooooo overplayed RIGHT in the middle of a video that promised something else

#also like. fjdlksfjklsdfj #it Seems like at the moment they only break away from the assigned gender roles...#when there is queerness involved in some way (like not necessarily the dancers themselves but maybe just the story they want to portray)#e.g. JoJo Siwa (yes that was a different show; i am lumping them together because i think it's fair to do so) and Layton Williams #which a) reinforces the idea that dancing is inherently romantic or sexual (INCORRECT BUZZER NOISE)#and also b) it still limits the kinds of couples we can get. when will we see a woman leading a man on one of these shows?#Youtube

You’ve heard of “don’t monetize your hobbies”; get ready for "don’t master your hobbies".

Your hobbies are here to help you decompress and have fun. They do not have to be disciplines you toil over for expertise, unless that is something you genuinely enjoy doing.

It’s okay to enjoy language-learning without ever becoming fluent, or even conversational. It’s okay to like playing guitar even if you only know a few clumsy songs. You can read books and never finish them, bowl without ever scoring even halfway to perfect. We’re here to explore and play, and we cannot do that if we’re chasing perfection in everything we do.

Am I gonna sound like a hater if I question the use of the phrase "reverse lift"

#dare I say it's just a lift #disclaimer I know nothing about ice skating #so if this has some meaning other than 'we don't expect women to lift so that's why it's a reverse lift'#Then by all means please let me know
