New Series: The Beauty of Dance, Part Ten!

Once again, as I do at the end of every even-numbered year, I look at beautiful women in dance - ballet, modern, whatever.  And, as always, when it comes to looking for beautiful dancers, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. 😁

Dance itself is one of the loveliest forms of high art, as many people come to realize at this time of year when they go to see The Nutcracker.  And we need some high-art diversion at this time of year . . . especially this year, in light of last moth's election results. 😟 

Oh yeah, about that . . . even though I have tried to keep politics out of this blog since I stopped featuring female politicians here, I have to address a female news anchor I featured her way back in 2008 . . . I featured Mika Brzezinski, who had just joined MSNBC and become Joe Scarborough's morning-news cohost, and later his wife.  After she and Scarborough visited the President-elect - the man I prefer to call Dr. Sinister - at his castle in Florida, I should remove that post.  But, because it's from 2008, I won't.  I do want to stress, though, that I am pleased with what she did and I am not happy about the fact that I got her wrong.  Given the decline and possible fall of the mainstream media in this 203rd decade of Christendom, I am seriously beginning to question whether I should include women in the news media on this blog going forward.

But enough of that for now.   I'll back tomorrow with my first post of this new dance series.  First, though, I have to acknowledge the passing of dancer and choreographer Judith Jamison, who died last month at 81 and whom I featured in an earlier Beauty of Dance series.  RIP.
