Whenever, Wherever Parody

A Shakira parody from MadTV:

All-male freshman dancers

Because it's like an ad for White Man School of Dance.

Bad Dance, Wedding Style

Why this one?

Actually, they aren't bad dancers; you can tell they are getting it. But alas, they are the victims of unfortunate choreography. Plus, there's a tiara and a handstand.

UC Bezerk-ly Ballroom Blitz

Why I love this:

1. In the rumba, the women are leading.
2. What can be better than a tacky tango?
3. I've participated in the ballroom section of the comp (the serious part) and it was tons of fun. Love those Berkeley folks! And they let same-sex dancers compete! Woo!

Bad Bette

Why it rates:

*It is done in a meadow by dancers wearing white cowboy boots
*It involves commentary from the audience
*They do the Macarana to a Bette Midler song

Dancing with the Russian Stars

Alas, the show is a bit different there. I love that they have the same graphics and 'call in' number thing goin' on though.

*More props.
*Wild costumes.
*Extra people.
*The women are more likely to wear pants. Or a giant floral dress. Just depends.
*And, oh, the whole "speaking Russian" thing.

Here's a few dances for your perusal:

Traditional Russian Folk Samba:



(Even after she changes, check out the costuming. Hiking anyone? I am so confused by the woman's shoes/boots.)

Uhm, some kind of Free Dance, I imagine:




Eastern Block Egyptian Cha Cha, to a religious song sung in English:

Celine Sings AC/DC

Truly, I thought this might be a SNL-type hoax, but no.

There's singing. And bad dancing. All together, like a buy-one-get-one.
