    Questions have been asked about the "storyline" of this dance. There are two parts of this: what was the idea of J.V. McMorrow's song "Cavalier" and what was the choreographer's interpretation?
    In an interview, McMorrow stated that this song conveys glimpses of many things in his life that he loves. So perhaps there is not a single meaning but simply a collection of unrelated memories. The lyrics themselves are largely inscrutable, but he said the first three lines tell it all.
    Speak until the dust
    Settles in the same specific place
    Light refused to go
    Perhaps the choreographer (I don't know who it was) focused on the chorus:
    I remember my first love
    That would explain why the dance basically consists of male-female pairings, each of which exercises some latitude as to the moves they perform with one another in the improvisational parts of the performance. When the men and women are together with their own gender, they dance a certain way. But when the "couples" dance, it is an entirely different thing.

      +Perfect Dance Videos Yeah it took me quite a few watches to notice, and I probably wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't focusing on their amazing partner work beforehand. He went from lying on the ground to stand up in a fraction of a second, so yes, an amazing recovery.
      I thought maybe it was meant to happen, but then I saw the way Briar's foot moved before, so I believe it might have been an accident.

      From what I picked up on it it is an emotionally abusive relationship and the journey they face through it. The other girls are trying to keep them from the relationship but fail. This made a true comment on the untold side of abusive relationships. While the men treated them horrible they came back kind and continues this pattern. The feeling of needing them because their partners widely down their self-worth(wall scene) is their need to have affection. Others may see it different but that is what I picked up on.

      The chosen title of the dance is "Improv" and it has a predetermined structure to it, but within that, the individual dancers and pairs improvise their moves. I really love the concept. It requires a high level of skill and confidence, but if any troupe could pull it off, it's this bunch of seniors from CDC.

    It was really cool dance but none of it really had dancing together, it was very scattered, as if everyone knew who there partner was so they went home with their partners and all made up their own choreography and the teacher had no time to check it all, and make it fit together. ( i dont wan to be rude but thats just my opinion )

    • @PerfectDanceVideos
      @PerfectDanceVideos  Před 7 lety +6

      Note the name of this dance "Improv." It was entered in the contemporary category rather than as a true Improvisational, so they knew the song and had rehearsed with it. But it is loosely structured as a choreo. If you watched several performances, each would be different from the others. The individual dancers and the pairs have a great deal of latitude as to what exactly they do at certain points during the dance.
