Dance contest, cross movie


Do you think Baby & Johnny would’ve beat Tony & Stephanie in the 2001 Odyssey Dance contest?

reply

I think Tony and Steph were gifted that trophy and actually weren't as good as Baby & Johnny. You can tell Tony knew this when he didn't celebrate the win.

reply

The only edge Tony & Stephanie would have is that they were performing a disco style dance routine, whereas Baby & Johnny were doing a Latin ballroom dance. One has to presume the Odyssey 2001 was holding the contest to promote disco dancing to attract more customers to their venue.

He didn't think they were as good as the Peurto Rican dancers. That doesn't mean they would lose to Baby and Johnny.

reply

That's what I said. No need to repeat it.

reply

No, you didn't. You wrote "I think Tony and Steph were gifted that trophy and actually weren't as good as Baby & Johnny. "

My point is that that Tony thinking they were gifted the trophy and weren't better than the Puerto Ricans doesn't mean that he'd also think they were not as good as Baby and Johnny.

reply

but it does mean that and you spelled it out in your previous response. No need to die on a hill you created.

reply

No it doesn't, because we don't know how Tony would think that Baby and Johnny compare to the Puerto Ricans in this hypothetical crossover. And on ignore you go, so I'm not bothered with your replies anymore. I spend two much time on these kinds of arguments as it is.

I would call Johnny and Tony close but give the nod to Johnny, but I think Baby was better than Stephanie by enough margin to give Johnny and Baby the win.

reply

Sound analysis.

Johnny was a trained dancer with instructor’s credentials, while Tony was a talented freestyler and dance studio student.

Baby definitely had more skills than Stephanie, though I think Stephanie would have benefited from some training sessions with Johnny.

reply

I hate that Dirty Dancing dance. Terrible.

reply

I thought it had more structure than Tony & Stephanie’s NY tango hustle which had that long kiss right in the middle.

reply

Maybe that is why I don't like it. Dirty Dancing can't hold a candle to Saturday Night Fever. My opinion...
