Dance in movies, film or video

Footloose

This movie was very popular in 1984, and still is popular today. I think dance in the movie made it popular.

Dance was incorporated through out the whole movie, including singing.

This movie is about dancing being banned in a small town. Kevin Bacon the new kid in town wants to change that. This movie affects popular culture but the way dance is put into the movie.

Dance in videos.

The first video I’m using is Paula Abdul’s “Dance Like There's No Tomorrow”.

The second video I’m using is Michael Jacksons “Thriller”.

Paula Abduls music video is more dancing steps that we use today, and Thriller is more of its own unique dance moves. I find that Thriller is more fun to watch because its very intense, and Paula Abduls is more dull.

Exercise Videos Exercise videos make you in shape. They are also fun. When you want to dance and have fun, its best to be in shape. Exercise videos usually have music and when you dance you usually have

music too. They are usually to up beat and fun pieces of music and are usually very

cheesy. The exercise video I picked is called “Jazzercise- Move your boogie body”

made in 1982.
