Tuesday's child is full of grace

 

Create: Produce something that focuses on movement. It could feature for example a dance, a fight (a duel, or perhaps the vast armies advancing across the plains, weather (the strike of lightning, the gentle roll of clouds), time (too fast, too slow). Perhaps the movement is organic or mechanical, aesthetic or utilitarian, sweeping or barely noticeable.

 

Squee: Tell us about a movement that takes your breath away, or even better, share a video of it. A dance performance, nature video, athletic feat... The kind of thing you never tire watching.

A post! About a fan-made video of an anime character (Kuroo Tetsurou from Haikyu!!) dancing to "Wiggle" by Jason Derulo and also a link to the choreography that inspired it. Probably doesn't exactly qualify as "breathtaking," but I have spent enough time mesmerized by it that it seemed worth sharing.

Mesmerising absolutely counts towards this challenge! Thank you for joining in and sharing! I shall go and check it out :)

Yay! You're welcome, and thanks so much for running this challenge! I've been wanting to get back into posting again, but somehow it always seems so daunting after having not been posting for a while. This format was perfect for getting back into it. <3

Note: the original choreography is features a very attractive man in casual athletic wear and spike heels demonstrating the choreo for a dance class. The juxtaposition of the clothes and footwear is... pleasing.
