Spinning video.

Collection: Dancing

Ballet kills me. It looks like they are prancing around, but the amount of motor control is insane.

 

 

Not ballet, but fantastic. I don't understand why rhythmic gymnastics gets ridiculed.

Collections: Unsettling

This week I have been running into unsettling videos. Where are the rainbows and puppies?

It started with this one, which had me super tense and gripping my lap blankie.

Collections: Music Videos

Collection: Stop Motion Animation

I love that Vimeo is the hipster sibling of YouTube. The kid (my kid) likes to scroll through the animation videos with me. Here are three videos that I have watched over and over, and will watch again as soon as I have posted this:

(Guess which one the kid likes best...)
