I need to start going to bed earlier...for serious.

Okay, let's get this meme on the road!

Day 23 → A YouTube video (Holy Hell, seven more days to go!)

Okay, one cannot just go to YouTube and pick a video and be done. One must peruse the sight, weigh the pros and cons, etc.

So, somehow I got to thinking about dancing and So You Think You Can Dance and I started looking for my favorite routines. And I realized that many of the pieces I connected to were done by Mia Michaels.

Now, I have this love/hate thing going on with a lot of contemporary choreography. I love the storytelling and the emotion, but so much of it just looks...sloppy. However, Mia's routines always look so sharp. They can be wrenching or funny or touchingly quirky. She is ruthless in demanding not only a certain level of honesty in her dancers, but a high level of technical ability and athleticism because that's what is in every routine. So, in conclusion: girl crush on Mia Michaels and her mad skills as a choreographer.
