Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor: The Dance

This has been kicking around for a few days; I have just been "marking it as unread." After a certain amount of time, my reader looses track of these sorts of items if I don't get back to them. But Saturdays and Sundays are slower RSS-wise, maybe a third to a half the quantity of stuff as weekdays. So I've spent a good part of the afternoon going through and watching the vidclips, and reading longer articles that looked interesting. This was a fun one. As I implied in the post title, the thing that impressed me was the grace that was required, not just demonstrated, but required, to pull this off.

It reminded me of "Billie Jean," by Michael Jackson, and this hilarious send-up by Steve Martin. The grace is umm, less pronounced in this one, and the lights are not as cooperative...
