Dance is Art


Les Twins at Hip Hop International Dance Event

Les Twins are two brothers (identical twins) that were born and raised in Paris, France. They have become a Youtube sensation since performing at Juste Debouts in France in 2008. They currently perform at world dance competitions and they travel throughout Europe and the United States teaching hip hop classes. 

In this video, Les Twins have collaborated some dance moves that they have done at various world dance competition. The one wearing the jacket is Larry and the other twin is Laurent. They are titled as hip hop dancers but each twin has their own dancing style. Larry is more smooth and laid back. He is well known for his foot work. Laurent is very artistic and gets his inspiration from ballet. He is well known for his twirls and splits. This video is a little taste of their dancing techniques. I highly recommend that you watch their world of dance 2010 video to see amazing dance routines (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XLGYxeL1iQ).

I have been following these guys since 2011. I love to dance and as a kid I would always keep up with the latest dances and performed for my family and friends. I love how these brothers dance because they incorporate dance with theater and art. When you see them dance, you have to listen closely to the music. Every beat, sound effect and theme is pronounced through their dancing. Remember, listen closely to the music when they are dancing. Enjoy!

Trailer of many angles


The Women in Black 2
(Warning: Must have a good heart)

The Women in Black 2 is a movie about a group of children fleeing London from the destruction of World War II. They evacuated and settled in a house on an island isolated from others. Little did they know that there resides a ghostly figure (Women in Black) who is determined to find someone or something she lost. Unfortunately, she preys on those in the presence of the house.

This trailer has intimidating music to change the scene. It also has good lighting and zoning. There are a few parts where the scene changes from dark to light. Also, there is a scene where they focus in on a door then zone out.

I picked this trailer because of the lighting, music and zoning makes the movie more appealing. I am a huge fan of Horror movies. I am a big critic when rating horror films and trailers of horror films. I have yet to see the movie but the trailer is well put together. The end of the trailer is epic.
