Let's just dance!

I've always been a frustrated dancer. Most of my daydreams consists of me dancing to my heart's content whether it be ballet, jazz, ballroom, cheerdance or just about anything that includes swaying my hips. All my frustrations probably stemmed from the fact that from grade school to high school, I've been performing as a member of various dance clubs in school. When I entered my college freshman years, I pondered on auditioning for the UST Salinggawi but I got discouraged when I saw them during practice. All of them seemed like pros! "Whoa. I would be eaten alive here," I thought. They looked as if they had years and years of training, and what do I have for them to consider me? Absolutely nothing. Since I was appalled at the thought of making a fool of myself, I never did try. From then on, my confidence started to wane. However, every day until now, I still daydream about enrolling myself in a dance class to get the joints oiled up.

Since I love dancing, I also love watching dance movies. Here are some of my favorites:

Center Stage is my epic favorite among all of them. The choreography and production were fantastic. However, since the actors were not really actors but dancers, the acting wasn't so good. But as I said, who the hell cares? The dancing was TERRIFIC.

I never thought I'd think of ballet as sexy, but it really is in this movie. I had this notion before that all guys who are into ballet are gay. The heck, the two leading men here were hot! Lucky, lucky lead actress.

Just the title can make your loins tingle. LOL. Latin ballroom dances are very sexy in my opinion. I've always wanted to learn one. Latin ballroom dances such as Rumba or Samba are very sensual, and one needs to be totally in sync with his/her partner in all aspects to evoke the emotions of those watching. Although Dirty Dancing - Havana Nights didn't have fancy moves or gorgeous actors, I still had fun watching it because of the nature of dance involved. I loooove latin dances.

I never heard of this movie promoted, and I just came across it when I was searching for movies to stream online. Since I'm a sucker for dance movies, the title alone caught my eye. Like Dirty Dancing, the choreography in Turn the Beat Around wasn't really great. Its storyline even sucks. One thing about the movie stands out, however: the lead actress was totally gorgeous. Reminds me of Colbie Caillat and Jennifer Aniston but just 100x sexier.

I can feel myself turning gay. LOL.
