I've enjoyed watching the Dance with the Stars. Don't really watch any other reality shows. But congrats to your teacher. Let us know how he/she does! |

I enjoyed the American Dance, except for the American acents!! Does anybody else find that grating, improper drawling acent realy annoying? I am counting down the days to watch our dancers strut their stuff I don't watch any of the other shows of this sort, none of the "reality" shows and only a couple of the American TV shows, mostly CSI and Criminal Minds, though I have been waiting with bated breath for House to come back! LOL! Hey, just a question? Does anybody else still watch MASH on the TV? I watch it and absoulutely love it!! I think its one of the best shows you can get (which is heafty praise for an American show) TTFN floks!! |

Well, I am not Australian, but to the person who made the comment about American accents, it was sort of rude...maybe I'm taking it a bit personally though  Did you think about the way your accent sounds to Americans? I can tell you that some people find that annoying... |

quoteI don't find it rude at all. I think you are just taking it personally. Every Foreigner sounds funny in a different country. Even Kiwi's sound funny to us Aussie's. Americans talk much slower than us fast talking Aussie's. I hear you Yanks find Canadian accent funny. So you can't go around and judge someone that reckons American accents are funny you just judged us Aussie's as well. Rachael |

Not meaning to start anything - but I never judged anyone. I simply stated that by saying that American accents are annoying, I pointed out that others may find Aussie accents annoying, too. I know that people talk differently in different places - heck, you head to Virginia or NY here, and it is so much different from Michigan or Wisconsin - and having lived in the UK for multiple years and travelling abroad (Australia included), I KNOW that it is different. That is what makes our world so neat I personally like accents. I love Australian accents and British accents. My own is sort of a mix between American and British - so Americans find it weird sometimes and when I visit my friends in the UK, they think I sound funny. Again, not meaning to start anything...I could just post in the RL SD forum for that sort of drama, lol!! About the original topic: I don't like any of the shows aired on TV. I watch National Geographic and Animal Planet and that is about it. My grandma LOVES Dancing with the Stars and other shows similar to that. I watched it one time with her and it was actually pretty good - but I am not a huge TV watcher, so I never saw the other shows. I hope your teacher does well - be sure to keep us all updated (myself included!). |

oh my mistake she didn't get in.....she got out at the chirography round...awww.. oh well at least she made that!! there is definately some GREAT dancers, did anyone see the 15 year old boy OMG he was AMAZING |

that 15 year old boy was a bit offputting.....if that was my son Id rather he play a sport or do somethign blokey.....or if he's going to dance at least get him to do hip hop or breakdance.....I just found him a bit odd |

YES!! I was blown away by that boy, if Dance is still in Australia when he turns 18, then the rest of the dancers had better look out! LOL Just refering to the post ubove, I have noticed from American Dance, that the dancers with "clasical" dance training seemed to be able to do more styles, better, than the ones who did hip hop or break dancing or stepping. I thought it was eirily beutiful when he danced. I also liked the Aboriginal from perth (I missed his name)and several from Melborne. Did anybody find it odd (and no offence to anybody, since I've lived in every City except Sydney and Adelaide) that the largest number of awsome dancers came from Melbourne? There seemed to be three times as many as in any other city! Do you think there's something in the water??LOL! |

this post has been edited 2 time(s) quoteThe Australian Ballet School is based in Melbourne........ quoteThat is rather harsh and shows your ignorance in what that boy did! I have danced my whole life and my dance teacher is number 1 in Australia for teaching boys(at least one of our boys is in every major company in Australia, as well as quite a few overseas) He is exquisite.... As for "doing something blokey" - did you know many professional footballers have taken ballet in order to improve their fitness and their jumping ability (findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1083/is_1_78/ai_112212780). We've had adult police officers and firemen come through our school, suggested by their physio, to help rebuild muscle after accidents where one of their leg's was broken. Classical dancers can learn hip hop/breakdancing relatively easily, quickly and can perform it fairly well - I think this competition has shown this - but how many strictly hip hop/breakers could you see doing classical or what that boy performed? Answer; not many, if any....... |

hahaha not trying to cause a fight.......I actually admire the guy for dancing in front of such a big tv audience....I know as a teenage boy how much ridicule he has probably gotten over the years for being a dancer from his peers,Im not totally agaisnt males dancing - my son is going to start dancing classes in a while but what I meant by something blokey is something like hip hop or breakdancing - plus I think my 2 yr old will love it - I just happen to find guys doing such artsy ballet style dancing a bit too iffemenate for my tastes - and yes i know how hard ballet is as I did it myself for 18 years!~ |
