Evolution of Dance

So I was trying to find an interesting topic to write about, and while watching a dancing video, I remembered the evolution of dances videos. I first watched these videos with my family a couple of months ago and even though I have watched them before, I still find them funny. In these three videos you will see Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake, Will Smith, and Michelle Obama performing different kinds of dancing styles. As you will see, the purpose of these videos is to show the different dancing styles used throughout the ages. You will see the evolution of hip-hop, mom dancing, and dancing in general. There are more videos about the evolution of dancing, but these are my favorites. If I had to choose between these three videos my favorite one, then I think I would choose the one with Jimmy Fallon and Will Smith. If you have watched them before, it is worth watching it again and if you have never watched it, you should watch it. Did you like the videos? Do you think they show some kind of truth behind them? Have you done any of these steps? What step was your favorite? Which video was your favorite?

  1. Well, I certainly think that there are a bunch of very interesting dances now a days. People are starting to get creative. I find it interesting how people have taken daily life things like picking up things from the floor into a dance.

    1. I agree! I think it is interesting how dances changed over centuries and even from decades. I think it's creative to make something that you can see in daily lives to be turned into a dance. I don't think dancing has to be something that impresses people, of course if it does that's great too. I think dancing has to be something you enjoy and you express yourself through it.

  2. WOW!!! That was so funny. My mom dances like that, but worse. It is a nightmare. I always wanted to watch Jimmy Fallon's show. It is so fun to watch. Now I want to see more videos from him. It is awesome. They are so funny. I like it a lot.

  3. This was very entertaining! :) It must be very hard to do all those moves without laughing, and everybody staring at you. It's insane how different dance moves have evolved over the years. Some are okay, but the majority are just down-right embarrassing, haha. :P

  4. I think it's funny that people are still using all of these moves while making up more. All of them were horrible and I don't think they're going to get any better. These were good videos to watch when you want a laugh. Thanks for posting!

    1. I also love watching Jimmy Fallon! I normally don´t watch his entire shows, I just watch clips like this one. The Lip Syn is also very funny; the last time I watched it was in class, and all my classmates and I were watching.

  8. Hahaha, I have watched these videos many times before and every time that I watch it it makes me laugh so much. My favorite one is the one where Will appears, the video in which he appears seams more natural.

  9. I love when they play "It's Not Unusual" in the first video and dance "The Carlton". There is absolutely no way you can pull off that move without grinning stupidly. And then the "Justin Timberlake" in the second video, uncanny. The "Pulp Fiction" is also always a favorite.

  11. Wow this videos are hilarious specially the one with Will Smith. I can not believe he danced the Carlton one, that was the best one. Also the one with Michelle Obama and how she was dancing better than Jimmy. My favorite one was the one with Will Smith because they danced a lot of dances that are really famous and they make it look funny at the same time
