Emotion: Hard To Love

This video is from a show known as "So You Think You Can Dance".  This is a modern/contemporary dance choreographed by Travis Wall, a well-known dancer and choreographer.  The beginning of this video explains the story of the routine.  Throughout this dance piece, you can find proper ballet technique, as well as ballet technique that has been altered or thrown out of proportion, but with control.  But really notice the emotion used throughout their movements.
