Okay, so maybe these videos won’t teach you to dance. But they are lots of fun to watch:
- The Jan Pehechan-Ho dance scene from Gumnaam (1966) (and featured in the movie Ghost World )
- Christopher Walken dances to Fatboy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice”
- OK Go, their famous treadmill dance to “Here it goes again”. (Hat-tip to jeanerz, who thought she was the last person on earth to have seen this, but who was the first who showed it to me.)

OK, if I knew how to imbed video in blog posts I would link to the contra dancing videos on ITUBE. I’m not that blog savy to do that, but you should check it out…

I hadn’t seen the Ok Go video either, so that bumps Jean up to third to last..
What a cool idea! So simple, yet way more interesting than videos that were probably way more expensive to produce. I wonder how many times they fell over/ twisted their ankles while practicing.

ericalee-
Ah, embedding YouTube is uber-easy on WordPress. You just use the word “youtube” and the url for the video in square brackets. ()
(Damn, my secret’s out.)

Yeah, I bet it took more than a few takes. (I even think I’ve heard of a parody someone posted where they do a lot of the falling…)
