    I've posted this before, but it is a useful link for getting Modern Jive clips on YouTube

    MJ Clips on YouTube

    Interesting new one of doing a cabaret for Sarah Johnson's birthday. I might be biased, but I like lifts in cabarets.

    I am pretty sure that they are wearing tracksuits to emulate the artists in the film clip who are British!

    Hmm...I might be biased but shouldn't the dance fit the music??? Some of those lifts had very ugly lines.

    I thought it fitted the music fine???? Moves were done on the beat and fitted the music. Can't see what you mean by that.

    Well - for a start, they're dressed in black and white respectively, while the music has more of an greeny-orangish quality to it...

    I have to say, I was totally fixated by the girl's feet, I couldn't draw my eyes away to watch anything else..

    she seems to do a little double speed, running step.

    I agree - a gorgeous set of moves but they did seem to be sped up a lot... Yeah, the musicality was weak. Maybe they'd got that routine ready but for another track or something?

    I've no idea about the lifts - they looked great to me.

    Ok, maybe I am being a bit harsh, It has some good parts as well as not so good:

    We are now so used to seeing a high level of WCS. Some of the better parts were dare I say it...nearer to WCS. Some of the lifts were good.

    It was the not so good that caught my attention:

    1:40...music changes, but dance carries on at same pace. This happens at other times as well.
    1:52...Sort of a lift. It just has bad lines as the lady seems to be dragged around behind the man. (John Sergeant springs to mind).
    2:24...music changes again with accents that are ignored.
    2:38...Another ugly lift. I have seen this done before. An otherwise eligant dancer is made to look very inelegant when lifted above the head in a sitting position with legs open in a short dress. She might have got away with straight legs.

    I love old soul music; it has a real feel that simple is not expressed in this routine. As DB said, perhaps it was originally for a different track.



    Salsa, WCS, Tango etc have a very high standard of cabaret. With a few exceptions, I can't help feeling that MJ has a very long way to go to get the same kind of recognition and respect. It is great for what it is...a fun easy to learn social dance.

    I think that the standard of MJ cabarets has dropped in recent years - there's still the exceptional cabaret but there's not the depth there used to be. This is especially noticeable in terms of musicality. One of the reasons I believe this is happening is that many people become good MJ dancers and then migrate to other dances. In years gone by this migration was a slow trickle to Lindy Hop. However, there's now AT and WCS to attract the better dancers.

    I know it's a little self indulgent but I wanted to kick this thread back to life a little as I think it has some worth seperate from the other youtube thread which is now mainly WCS

    Re: Your fav Modern Jive youtube clips.

    I did put together a Modern Jive playlist a while ago with a few clips.

    http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...57F471A9324AE8

    I haven't really searched all the MJ clips in YouTube, so there may be some good stuff I've missed.
