remember Z of C and do not defile his magesty

dr.e

It was evident immediately that he's terribly inhibited, and I was absolutely horrified watching his first rehearsals. However, when he performed “Wild Thing”, he clearly went all in — an accomplishment I respected him for. Plus, I laughed until I cried…. and as they say, some things you just can't put a price on.

I just look at it like he's a has-been who is desperate to stay in the limelight. His career is over,his reputation tainted, legal bills have eaten up his savings and his book didn't sell that well. So what's left? A game show or DWTS!

Thanks alot. lol

When I wrote my little satire about his dancing, one of the things I was quite serious about was my hope that he would not dance that almost sacred Latin dance, the Tango.

Well he did, and he defiled it.

I think it's best for everyone that Mr. DeLay was finally voted out. It's good for those who love dancing and especially good for Mr. DeLay himself: for his own health and for his own reputation

I did catch the film clip and deLay's version of being “sexy” with the song “wild thing” with him mouthing what he apparently thought to be a sexy Elvis sneer (not even close) made the young (and older) women in our family go Ewwww, gross! and his awkward hip gyrations mimicking sexual intercourse, were just embarrassing to watch (for this woman, anyway). Most men are far far more graceful and 'inhabiting their bodies fully' than poor Mr. DeLay.

His dancing was in huge contrast to men from many families, who dance powerfully in order to show their prowess in endurance and muscular strength and grace, not some creaky 1960s delusion of “looking sexy”…

A male who dances from the soul outward emanates male sexuality in depth… rather than DeLay's prancing about in a parody of male sexuality.

That he has fractures in his feet must hurt, and I'm sorry for that. But also, likely most anyone who has sat at a desk or in a chair all their lives long, might not be able to be an endurance dancer without injuring themselves. Number one rule for pro dancers, NEVER push self past actual ability, never ever risk injuring feet, legs, neck or back. Someone ought to have warned Mr DeLay that at his age and in his poor condition physically in terms of strength, there's a high liklihood of injury just from the rigorous practice/ training.

The person I'd like to see more dancing from would be more someone like Mandela, his tribal dances. There are some clips of him dancing, very gentle, very graceful, very living deep in his own body.

Besides simply admitting I was right?
