I think reality TV for dancers has changed for the better. There are more opportunities and the platforms that we are being given are better.

Basic dance - and I should qualify the word basic - is primarily concerned with motion. So immediately you will say but the basketball player is concerned with motion. That is so-but he is not concerned with it primarily. His action is a means towards an end beyond motion. In basic dance the motion is its own end-that is, it is concerned with nothing beyond itself.
