VIDEO: The World Is Stone, I Am Alone, But I Don’t Care!

For those of you who have not yet been introduced to this dance muse, consider this your coming out party to the world of Sara Carlson:

She only exists for me in a few low-fi videos on YouTube, but her dance stylings are so ferocious that she has propelled herself out of the two dimensional video world and landed among the mythic dance legends that are orbiting around us, constantly bringing the heat. Think Rosie Perez in the intro of Do The Right Thing mixed with Elizabeth Berkely in Showgirls. When people watch her videos, I think they react to the absurdity of the choreography combined with her unabashed full throttle execution of it. There is nothing timid about her hip action, nearly exploding out of her American Gladiator dance panties.

I’ve done some light research on Sara and there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot on the Internet concerning her place of origin or why she was on so many Italian variety shows. It also makes me wonder why we don’t have more ridiculous and high production value variety shows on television. Nevermind American Idol, I’m talking Telemundo-style crazy-show stuff to match the media circus that we already think is normal. We could handle it. Sara Carlson should come back and infuse American television audiences with the same sense of wonderment as she did while performing amongst talented crab-scuttling contortionists and virtuoso violinists for Europe in the 80′s.

All we need to know about Sara Carlson is what she has bestowed upon us: her Dance Legacy. Which will supply me with moves to bust out at parties, or alone in my apartment–which seems to be her new direction. It seems she’s recently taken a note from the Whirling Dervishes (mystical dancers who stand between the material and cosmic world, representing the earth’s revolution around the sun).

That’s a perfect way to describe her.
