I have never actually choreographed a dance, but it's one of the many things that runs through my mind when I listen to certain pieces of music. "Daylight" wants a properly done rendition of dancing backwards through time (a la this Bacardi commercial). "The Peter Lorre Overture" could be a fantastic little ballet of domestic abuse and revenge (though I feel bad that it has nothing to do with the titular character). Skipping, smiling, and polkaing through New York City to the strains of "Sympathetic Vibrations" is still on the list of things to do with Brenton sometime.

And as I've just determined, as I hit on exactly the right song in exactly the right mood, "Between" is a lovely tragic waltz for two people, and would be a beautiful, heartbreaking waltz for three.

I'm not actually a choreographer. I'm not sure I could put the emotions necessary into just movement, and I'm almost positive I could never find the correct people to dance it.

But goddamn, if I'm not going to watch a trio of phantom dancers in my head every time I listen to that song now.

MOOP!

Music mentioned:
Daylight, by Matt & Kim
The Peter Lorre Overture, by World/Inferno Friendship Society
Sympathetic Vibrations, by The Paper Raincoat
Between, by Vienna Teng

All of them are good songs, and good artists. Check them out!

ETA: Gods, and depending on my mood, the dance can go in different directions, but I know what I want the base to be, and _*snarls* why don't I have three people good enough at cross-step to do this that I can bully into interesting configurations for a bit?!_

I don't like it when my creativity gets stopped by very normal roadblocks like not enough other people to share my particular passions. (see also, Yakety Sax multi-person striptease/burlesque bit. It would be *amazing*.)

So teach more people cross-step. Duh. :-)

I'm working on it. I need to get better at it myself, and more importantly, get better at both leading it and at knowing the variations.

Me, I'd just like to have a greater variety of waltz steps than "standard Scottish waltz" (whatever that officially is), box step (ick), and "Waltz Country Dance" (which isn't so much a step as a series of figures in waltz time).
