A friend of mine who's been teaching herself to tap dance (well, with the help of a Bonnie Franklin-hosted instructional video. Yes, Bonnie Franklin!) asked me who my favorite dancer was. Of course, I suck at answering questions like that, but I did recall a scene in That's Entertainment that left me feeling floaty and inspired for days--Ann Miller doing a trillion, million chaine turns in some musical, smiling the whole time and full of so much big & bright it was like she radiated her own portable spotlight.
Here she is if you don't believe me:
When I saw this video, I immediately thought of Bing, who once told the animal communicator, "I can dance in the craziest ways, I can walk over teacups and not disturb them, because I am so centered."
Binglet and Ann Miller, then. That's my final answer.
Click this link to watch. (Sorry, embedding disablers. Though I bet you'd feel less stressed out if you let go of the fallacy that it's possible to truly 'own' anything on the Internets. Data just wants to be free and do its own crazy data dance, too, you know.)
Oh my heart. Those FEET!!!
ReplyDeleteBing's feet, not Ann Miller's feet.
Wish I'd had this photo when assembling the Book of Bing.
Awww, I know. He was so little and far away from big-boy pants--they're like training peds or something.
ReplyDeleteI looked at the Book of Bing the other day, sigh. : )
