Let's Dance

Ok, I admit it. I watch So You Think You Can Dance. But before you begin casting dispersions my way, let me point out that in a culture which increasingly blurs the distinctions between the sexes, this show upholds the traditional roles of men and women. In the formal dances, the guys are expected to lead, be strong and project an aura of masculinity. The women are expected to be elegant, graceful, feminine and responsive to the leading of the men.

When done properly, such a dance is a thing of beauty, of harmony and is indicative of the craft of the choreographer.
