Since I started dancing, I’ve been looking on the internet for videos. There’s quite a lot of useful instructional material on the ‘net; one site that’s particularly good is www.danceyourselfdizzy.com. Unfortunately, without a partner to practice with at home there’s not that much I can learn from online videos, but I’ve been able to pick up the odd thing and they’re useful for going over the stuff I’ve learned in the lessons.
Like a lot of websites, many of these places are supported by Google ads. The ads it throws up are mostly what you’d expect. Some dance classes. Lots of places selling dance shoes. Halls for hire. But I was slightly surprised by the fact that pretty much every page will somewhere feature an ad like this one:
Am I just naïve not to expect webpages about dancing to be full of ads for online dating? Or am I just out of touch and inclined to forget just how huge an industry onine dating has become in the last few years?
Of course, not all the videos on the Internet are instructional. Some are just spectacular (and inspiring) to watch. I already posted this one on Facebook, but I’ll put it here as well:
Yeah, somehow I don’t think I’m going to be dancing like that any time soon.
