Dancing. I saw Tap Dogs tonight. Fun, energetic, cool. Industrial. It reminded me of Stomp, back 4 years ago to when I saw it there with Shepard. And then even furthur back with Marian to see Les Mis. But I digress. Tap dancing, hardcore. These guys could have been 'N Sync. Attractive, toned. Good dancers. There were two that stood out, not necessarily for their tap technique, but because they had attitude. One, the bleach blonde short guy seemed to be the leader's younger brother. Like the kid who always hangs around, has to try and prove himself to the older guys, and can and does. He had a little flair, maybe it was arrogance, but it was visible and made him a character. The other was the goatee and baseball cap guy, the troublemaker. He was always enjoying things a little too much, in things to make himself look good, and also lazy. At least that's how he seemed. Another character. Those two were the ones I ended up watching. And the leader didn't take control, like the show was supposed to, I think. He didn't become the alpha. But interesting tap sets, different ways of presenting it. Good stuff. Someday I will tap. But this also doesn't match the style and grace of tap like Gene Kelley.
