Veeky Forums, help us out on dance appreciation. I can tell that it's an art form but how does it express anything? It seems to have lost more from modernism than even painting or architecture, and even though ballet has survived that's farther from the comprehension of a pleb like me than opera.
Is social dancing, like actual dancing and not unrehearsed bumping and grinding, even active socially anywhere? It seems like it ought to be a true citizens' art form, but it seems to have been inundated with b urself lol boob-wiggling.
Dancefags are insufferable. You're better off avoiding the medium.

what kind of substantiative criticism is this meant to be?

it generates feelings in normies that we will never understand

>Ballet appreciation Have you seen a ballet? Please watch a couple, maybe drop in on a ballet class and come back if you have trouble understanding why it's an artform worthy of your attention. Maybe also lose the "lol modernism destroyed GREAT ART!" attitude, too.
>Is social dancing... active...? Yes, most colleges have really active ballroom, swing, and hip-hop and B-boy/breakdancing clubs or societies. You can find communities for these things outside of colleges but they're filled with old creepy people. If by "social dancing" you meant Morris dancing and contradancing, then yes, there are a lot of people who do that, too. Go to meetup.com if you want to find people interested in that type of thing.
>b urself lol boob-wiggling (is bad?) Not really, it's a form of catharsis for those who do it (Whether or not club culture is healthy is another issue altogether that I don't want to address). Lose the elitist attitude and you'll find that people will like you more.

If you think the Pompidou is beautiful your soul is broken.

A dance I've always found interesting is the Chacarera of Northern Argentina. There's no actual touching throughout the dance, except for the end. Instead, the whole thing works by the two dancers circling each other while holding eye-contact and 'peacocking'. As a dance, it's pure eroticism.
Why would us, autistic Veeky Forums fucks know anything social, like dancing?
Jaxon Wright
>Maybe also lose the "lol modernism destroyed GREAT ART!" attitude, too. He's right though. Traditional dances are objectively superior to club sluts shaking their ass around.
>Is social dancing, like actual dancing and not unrehearsed bumping and grinding, even active socially anywhere? It seems like it ought to be a true citizens' art form, but it seems to have been inundated with b urself lol boob-wiggling. Throughout South America it's common as a social art. Even at the clubs theres a strict method to dancing, although it's very simple. North America doesn't really have a strong culture to promote that sort of thing.

Have you ever danced op?
Bentley Hill
That's really cool imo. I like the building site aesthetic.
Okay? Your feels are different from my feels, just throw in some faggy pseudopoetic reference to a soul and claim objectivity. Good one.

You don't even think it's beautiful. You think it "looks cool." On a lot of modernist projects I agree. They look cool. They don't uplift, though. They don't aid the viewer. They are not beautiful.

He said he didn't understand it. >b-but anyone who watches the art I went to school to appreciate can understand the beauty of it No wonder you don't understand why people think modernism destroyed great art.

The dancing in the video you posted was considered the "lol b urself boob wiggling" of its day.

You learn to appreciate and understand ballet by watching a lot of ballet you retard. It's not something you read a book about then pretend to be an expert on.

I went to the opera once. It was terribly boring. I didn't know how to appreciate it and I don't have any desire to go back. My mom said the same thing about ballet. No particular desire to go to this expensive entertainment again and again just in case I start grasping the Absolute instead of yawning.
