...dancing

...It's inevitable when Sam is out I find myself watching old dance music videos on youtube.
One of my favourites is Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation:



I was struck by how covered up she is, the emphasis was more on the dancing than on sex appeal. Don't get me wrong, I've never been bothered about pop stars dancing around in their underwear and love the Janet album when she did just that, as well as Rihanna, the Pussycat Dolls and Beyonce etc. This video just seems very rare these days.

Here's another favourite of mine:



Just watching Kimberly Wyatt proving she's not just a pretty pussycat doll gets the fire going in my belly and makes me want to dance again.
As does this final video : 



Good dancing is not just remembering the moves, to me it's about really feeling the music and showing that emotion through your performance like Lukas McFarlane does here.

It's not a surprise that Jesse loves dancing and busts a move every time he hears music, us singing or the peppa pig theme tune, he's not fussy...
