Well, I did watch the video, and it sucked, as does all interpretative dancing, and most if not all other forms of dancing as well. Monologue was spot on.

I genuinely wish this video did made me disagree with Stephen. I want to get it. I really do, but I don't. In fact, I think she's kind of making his point - or at least a portion of it.

I actually like dancing though. I like it because I like getting stupid and have no interest in pretending it's anything more than that. I don't get interpretive dance and I don't get this as a response to Stephen's feelings on the subject and I'm sure this would not "make the man shudder."

He's not actually serious in this monologue, is he? He just comes across as an old man screaming "Get a haircut, you hippie!" before throwing some teenagers off his front lawn.

Dude, it's the 21st century. Social dancing in public has been a thing since my grandmother was a teenager back in the "roaring 20s." Only an idiot can't understand the idea of expressing your emotions with your body (rather than say a pen, paintbrush, or your voice). And Stephen Fry has never struck me as an idiot, so I'm not sure where this monologue is coming from.

I get the feeling he's being facetious.

I know, it's Stephen Fry, WHY would I think he could be facetious? Even the concept is absurd.
