Description I promise to stop uploading things with blank backgrounds soon.
...also to reply to all of the comments and awesome people keep sending.
...also to get back to commission work right now.

10 minute quickie to warm up with. They always looked so natural when they moved <3 WHY DOES NOBODY DANCE LIKE THIS ANYMORE?!?! Ten minutes of thrusting your pelvis into my general direction is NOT dancing, please and thank you, it's something else entirely.

Why? Because we as a society are loosing our innocence, our class and our respect. I think the 60s really set that up. Question, do we stop desensitizing our entertainment and free-time or do we continue to push the envelope and move toward a darker direction? There will never be films like this anymore, ever. Traditions, elegance, saying hello to your fellow neighbor and going to sunday school are going away for post-modernism and progressive thought.

This is one of the cutest things I've ever seeeeeeeen! I need a print of this on my wall, please.

Also, just for the record, one of my favorite dance numbers by the two of them. Also again, your style is fantastic.

FRED AND GINGER ♥ And I totally agree--why doesn't anybody dance like this anymore?? My friends and I want to have a 50's swing party hahaha, because that would be far more fun than the awkward pelvis thrusting you mentioned above^^ (I know Fred and Ginger aren't from the 50's, but I love swing so much). Love this piece, you did a great job!
