To make today feel less like a Wednesday, watch the girls from Gotta Dance! The movie, according to the filmmakers, “chronicles the debut of the New Jersey Nets’ first-ever senior hip-hop dance team, 12 women and 1 man – all dance team newbies, from auditions through to center court stardom. As smooth dance moves are perfected and performed in front of thousands, aging myths and misperceptions are pulverized.”
Many thanks to Paula Span (right), author of When the Time Comes: Families With Aging Parents Share Their Struggles and Solutions, for tipping us off to this movie’s delights. We dare you to get through the day now without dancing just a touch, like the guys in this movie.
You’ll leave a screening of "Plastic Planet" with a new understanding of the dilemma we face: plastic, the very substance that over the 20th century, significantly changed how we live, has taken us over.
