Okay, okay, I know I'm a few weeks behind the rest of world. Give me a break, I don't have cable.
I wanted to post this up here because I believe that this is a prime example of the ways in which reality TV dance shows are actually good for our pop culture. While the name Complexions may not be familiar to everyone, a huge amount of people who would probably never see that type of dancing just got introduced to concert dance on the professional, international level. And yes, Complexions is a very commercially accessible company, but what's wrong with that? Art needs all kinds of audiences to be rich and vibrant. There is nothing wrong with dancing that appeals to the masses, especially when it has the potential to inspire audiences to delve deeper into the art form and maybe explore some of the not-so-accessible work. I think it is amazing that there is a show that is so commercially successful that showcases work of this caliber.
