This is really off-topic for this site, but speaking as someone who doesnt normally like this kind of thing, i was surprisingly entranced..

you've probably looked at the other lalala human steps links but if not i think 'human sex' still stands out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q876pJ0tWE&feature=related i remember seeing this on the tv in 85 and couldn't believe what i was seeing. i'm not sure it will have the same impact today as modern dance has become a little more energetic anyway.

i'm not a fan of modern dance nor ballet BUT i think the more recent work from DV8 Physical Theater is incredible - they seem to be in a league of their own. earlier stuff is probably just for real dance fans as i found it tedious. check out this trailer for their 'Cost of Living' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itDRZlc7d8U the full film has stuff i gaurantee you'll never have seen before.

the full version of 'Enter Achilles' is also pretty amazing. here's a snippet but it doesn't really give you the right idea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17hNNfIkxQU

funny you mention them. I did something with one of their ex-members a while ago (he's now involved in the volcano theatre). Paul Davies. It was a fun, tough and hilarious (at the same time...) experience.  :Thmbsup:

Wonderful post.  That dancer has incredibly beautiful legs and feet.  Captivating the entire way through.  Thanks.

Oh my! Mistaya Hemingway...classic ballet looks coupled with a modern, more athletic physique. And enough precision, style, and class to satisfy even the most demanding critic or avant coreographer.
