Twitter Community Choreography #20 (Final)
A little over a month ago, we tweeted asking for “1 body part, 1 verb.” Jillian Sweeney joined us to film the moves and we posted it back online (here). We then asked for instructions on where the dance should take place and the order in which they should be performed. Based on those comments [...]
Twitter Community Choreography #20, part 2
We have rounded the bend with part 2 of Community Choreography #20. During part 1, we asked for a location, ideas for shooting the dance, and an order by which these moves should be performed. We took those ideas, integrated a few of them for a re-shoot with Jillian and put it all together.

Melissa may have a future filling in for Carla around town.
Things we love…
It’s rare we take the opportunity to share something we found from the internet, but this was passed to us today. This dance is also what Beyoncé based her Single Ladies dance on, right?

Twitter Community Choreography #16
Thirty of our Twitter followers heeded the call for movement this round, offering up around forty “single word actions” for Tyler Ashley to perform. It makes me tired just watching.

Twitter Community Choreography #15
Twitter Community Choreography #15 features Dance Gang, who happen to be performing in the theater with Neal Medlyn next week, coincidentally. The dance features food, destruction, and squeezing. Some might try to convince you that a dance should have all those things. We couldn’t say, either way.

Twitter Community Choreography #14
Community Choreography #14 features Ursula Eagly. We offered the phrase “do over” to our Twitter followers to serve as inspiration and got a mix of moves like “summarize your life in movement if you had not made that crucial mistake in summer 1998″ and “Perform an eight count and then do it backwards, ending up [...]
