I need to get back into watching dance shows, but I am also finding so much of my dance viewing fulfilled by kpop music. (And there is crossover - some of the best kpop dance numbers of the past 5 years are actually NappyTabs choreography, notably EXO's Call Me Baby [link] and Monster [link] for which I looooooove the point dance.)
I also recommend 1 Million Dance Studio. They post original choreo for US pop songs as well as create choreo for a variety of kpop artists. Their channel: [link]
This turned up on PBS and I found it riviting. It's about this amazing early hominid fossil site in a virtually inaccessible cave in South Africa. It's a Nova/National Geograpahic production.
Two episodes of The Grrst British Baking Show aired last night. Love this show.
Just reading that improved my life by like 3 million per cent.
I occasionally wonder how someone who's proved their ability enough to get on the show uses salt in place of sugar. It's happened on every season I've seen - at least once per season - and it's such a basic error ... maybe it's the pressure of competition, time and knowing millions of people will watch?
Also that all the ingredients are in similar containers, unlike at home. I mean, they do look pretty identical!
I've done it at a retail job when both sugar and salt were in identical little takeout containers. Tea with a teaspoon of salt is pretty awful.
ick ... I once saw a bit on a Rachael Ray show where she had a guest and, with her salt in a small dish, the guest just dumped the entire dish into whatever they were making ... Rachael gasped and just stood there for a moment ....
I think the salt and sugar are in nearly identical containers. You would think that production would figure out visually different containers that aren't jarring obvious to viewers. (I assume they don't want the containers to stand out).
Or maybe it's a test to see who either checks before using whichever? a way to sort out who's really paying attention?
