Young-and not so young-dancers often wonder what and who they can watch to learn from. Sports players can watch videos of games both excellent and poor, and learn lessons from both. Since dance is an art, however, the differences in videos are often artistic rather than technical. Differences in interpretation cannot be ranked, and every individual will have a different opinion of every dance and dancer. This means that there really is no overarching list of videos every dancer should watch. Except for the one I have compiled on this site.

Here is the first installment in the list of videos every aspiring dancer should watch:

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Peaceful Warrior

The Matrix

Airplane!

Equilibrium

Please comment and let myself and others know what you learned from each video.
