“Then she does her dance. I cannot say that this dance is good. This dance is bad. What can I say about this dance? It’s certainly memorable. I have always remembered it, for 20 years. So have you.”
TRUTH. ALL OF IT. Oh god, I have remembered it so hard.
I think the worst part of the dance is the dead eyed look on her face throughout the whole performance. Like she's not selling it well or looking like she's enjoying the triumphant climax of the movie!
I somehow missed this movie growing up but now I'm committed to not watching any of the movies you review so I only have Lindy Lens (+ Aham) through which to view movies.
“Sara and Derek dance, but despite her prior claims, she is NOT dancing circles around him. She is not even dancing triangles next to him.” Hahaheeheehoohah yay!
LMAO ‘WHY WOULD YOU MIX OIL AND MILK???’ and “conversation about race and identity and colonialism in *27 words written by an old sneaker*” I saw this terrible, awful movie way too many times. It makes me feel actual pity for our child/teen selves! Do they still make teen movies this badly?
This dance is about her being a sexy (but not slutty) grown-up lady instead of a nerdy virgin. This is the subtext of all high school movies with female main characters made after Reagan was elected president. Be sexy but not too sexy, just like a ballet dance with some pelvic thrusts mixed in.
I am reading this writing from the distant past. How many fugitive dvds is the Biggie x Julia Stiles sexy dance in 10 Things I Hate About You worth? Is this the reason for Save the Last Dance? Did some producer see J Stiles dancing to Hip Hop and say Yessir we need a hard hitting white Christian in Chicago school system dance picture!?

“Then, more talking written by a snake that fell out of the air vent and on to the keyboard!” — marvelous.
The dance is so awful. It's slow motion expressionless garbage. Why does she have no facial expressions.
They try to make you think that “slammin’” is THE COOL SLANG but you know in your bones it is not.

That dance was so bad. Way worse then I remembered.

When the YouTube clip started, I gasped. I somehow didn’t imagine the dancing could be *that* bad.
