Title: The LXD: Probably the Best Specialty Dancers in The World
Post by: MrMiYoda on January 20, 2011, 01:08:07 AM: John M. Chu, director, has heroically organized a unique breed of dancers that are probably yet unmatched in their specific talent. I am sure that there may be someone else better. But for now............

I'm not sure why not. I've seen some REALLY good TED videos. Could you explain why you think this?

I will agree, there are some excellent TED videos. However, they've got a different target audience.

I was about to read your post but then I saw a salad. It looked good, so I ate it.

Shoot for the moon, and even if you miss, you're still among the stars. I generally like to challenge my students a bit above what people think they are capable of, and usually they rise to the challenge. I have no problem with someone doing the same thing here on the forum :)

Now I'm hungry, but I still have this strange urge to dance...

For the record, I did watch the entire thing and found it fairly impressive. :)

Shot for the moon, got about two feet off the ground. And people wonder why I'm so cynical.
