Body Electric documentary on TV

Description:
Up until now, the only dancing on TV has been the sweat, more sweat, and tears of c-grade celebrity-infested Dancing With The Stars and Australia’s So You Think You Can Dance where everyone in wardrobe should be shot for the truly offensive garb they conjure up each week. But this Sunday that’s all set to change, with Melbourne’s own grassroots dance movement Body Electric – led by founder and dance tutor Jade Duffy – set to feature on ABC TV’s Art Nation. Guaranteed not to cause the usual television lycra heart palpitations, however viewing may result in a strong urge to don leg warmers and join in. – REJ
