The other day we were surfing the channels and the move Step Up 2 was on, now I have seen it before a couple times...and luckily my hubby was on his computer so he wasnt paying attention to the tv much and I was able to keep it on and watch it... I love dance movies!!! They make me want to get up and move, dance... then again I was in dance class for 8 yrs when I was back in high school as I wanted to be a dancer back then...very interested in all aspects of dance back then.... then of course I got out of high school and boys got in my life... things kind of changed then!! rolleyeslol

so now I live vicariously through the dance movies.... do you love those movies?? Do you have a favorite one that you can watch over and over just because of the dancing in them??

They're great! I think it has something to do with always wanting to be a dancer but never really having the opportunity to do so. But yes, I love them to pieces. There's something so beautiful about watching dancers. Step Up 1 & 2 were great! Another favourite of mine was Center Stage :)

Oh I loved Center Stage!!!!!!! I know, those movies always draw me to them and I know it has to do with always wanting to be a dancer myself...but never fulfilling that dream.whistlelol

thanks for the response and happy mylotting!!

i love to watch action and romantic movies mostly but its not necessary that i will watch movies of this category only i love movies of every mood if its script is good and have some interesting twists because no one wants to see or spend money/time on boring movies...........and i like dancing very much to......


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (2102)   ranked 166 out of 10,802 in watching movies  3 years ago

I definitely would choose the romance movies...and with alot of the dance movies there is definitely a romance going on too...wink yes, no boring movies please... I love dance movies because they make me want to get up and move when I watch them so I would say that is not boring!!!! lol

thanks for the response and have a great day!

I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate dance movies. Everytime one of those movies comes on the TV I cringe. They're just not for me. Most of the time I find the plots so rediculous it just makes me feel stupid. They all seem to follow the same basic formula.

Tough guy lives in a ghetto part of town and likes to breakdance with his friends

Tough guy is "discovered" by some underground dancing team/has his team promoted to some dance contest.

Dance contest is the last chance for Tough Guy to leave "da hood" and start a new life.

It's rediculous. Atleast to me.

However I cn acknowledge that these movies are enjoyable to some people, and this is only my opinion. I"m sure I watch some movies people find equally stupid.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (2102)   ranked 166 out of 10,802 in watching movies  3 years ago

lol ok, you have a point that is pretty much how the movie line follows, and there have been some movies that I wont watch again...but I am definitely one to enjoy them when they are on. whistlelol

but thanks anyway for the response, then again that is why there are so many movies out there to please everyone!!!

happy mylotting.

Oh I love dancing movies, I enjoy a lot if there are great dancing and there's battle among the dancers. I enjoy Stomp The Yard, Step Up 2, Center Stage etc. But please for all dance movie makers, make te story a litle bit good, at least make the romance not cheesy, make the story less predictable. Funny thing is, one of the worst movie I ever saw was also dance movie, Center Stage 2, it's only straight to DVD movie, but the story and acting went all over the place. Oh yeah, one thing they should remember is to cast perfect actor to play the character. They often pick actors who had an adequate dance moves, it would be a pleasure to watch an actor who really can act and dance, like John Travolta for example.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (2102)   ranked 166 out of 10,802 in watching movies  3 years ago

oh I agree, if you are going to go through the trouble of putting a dance movie together....make the actors able to dance and act!!! lol

thanks for the response and happy mylotting.

Same with you, bookreadermom08, I also love dance movies! I love dancing, not a professional, just something that I like doing, dancing to my own strut LOL

Step Up 2 is one of my favorite dance movies! I actually like Part 2 better than the first one. There's also Footloose and Dirty Dancing, classic dance movies :-)

As long as there's a good story and the dance choreography is awesome, it's sure to be a movie that I like to watch.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (2102)   ranked 166 out of 10,802 in watching movies  3 years ago

happy oh very good movies.... yes, you have to have a good story to it, but then the dance moves just makes it that much better!! thumbup

thanks for the response and happy mylotting.

I do too. I love dancing and attended dancing classes for about 2 years and I think I still have that excitement about dancing. So when I see any movie related to dancing I just can't skip it, I have to watch it. It doesn't really matter what kind of dance it is, as long as there is music and people dancing beautifully to it, it is enough for me. Though I attended dancing school with no intentions of becoming one, I am still very much in love with dancing.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (2102)   ranked 166 out of 10,802 in watching movies  3 years ago

happy I did have the intention to do something with it, but it never panned out....but thats ok, I still dance in my kitchen and groove to the music....LOL lol

thanks for the response and happy mylotting.
