Doing the quote look-up thing again for list-serve and I rather adored this one by Martha Graham (who is a modern dance choreography):

Nobody cares if you can't dance well.
-Martha Graham

Sigh, if only it were true. But I guess it is in a way. At work they told me that Kirstie Alley whose partner couldn't lift her is still in Dancing With the Stars.

Half-watching Glee, which is spending more time on narrative and less on production numbers. Glee? I watch you for the production numbers. You know that right?? The character arcs seem sort of over-the-top from my perspective, with the exception of maybe Kurt. And even Kurt's arc hasn't lately made a lot of sense. Although this one is admittedly better than the last two episodes, but Holly hasn't sung yet, so that may be why.

Okay, what in the heck is Tina singing?

First, they don't actually allow lifts in the competition.

That's not true. They may not allow lifts for certain dances (can't remember if that's an actual rule), but I've watched too many lifts to count in DwtS. This one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeIczhyWvQA) with Nicole and Derek in the Season 10 finale was memorable for how they fumbled the lift.

Lifts are definitely a part of the DwtS competition.

Really? The way Carrie Ann goes on if a girl's feet leave the floor, I figured it was a rule. Maybe it's just for certain dances.

I think it's for certain dances where it's against the rules to do lifts. Though I can't for the life of me think of which ones...

They once did a swing dance off competition where the contestants were being tossed in the air all over the floor. Here it is! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VNAazty49k)

Maybe they don't allow lifts in the beginning of the competition. This was week 6 and the host mentions it was the first week the couples were allowed to do lifts.
