In related news, I got my Boitano/Witt DVDs, woot! And OMG, there's an ensemble piece to "Tom's Diner" that is just...I don't know, if ever there were seven minutes that encapsulate 1991, I think it would have to be these seven minutes. It's got neon, it's got horrifying prints, it's got bodysuits, it's got hairspray, it's got big dangly earrings, it's got dance moves that look more like aerobics than dance, it's got the token avant garde bit, it's got it all.
These shows also introduced me to Gary Beacom, who is amazing and possibly does not actually have bones? That's the only explanation I have for some of his moves.
And they introduced me to Robert Wagenhoffer, who is also awesome! Skating to bluegrass? Fabulous! Outstandingly creative spins? Sure! Jumps that seem to float forever? Why not! Just, wow. Also, I think the only word for that mullet he's sporting is "majestic."
Plus there are quite a few programs from Underhill & Martini, who I knew were fantastic, and Blumberg & Seibert's "Adagio for Strings," which is gorgeous, and Boitano and Witt doing interesting things together, perhaps my favorite of which is their parallel spread eagles, where she's doing one inches in front of him.
...I know, I know, I'm so au courant. But I have fun anyway.
