A line of dancers having a whole lot of fun to (unless my ears deceive me) Relient K’s “12 days of Christmas”.

I’m a bit early, but Merry Christmas

This is footage of rehearsals from American Vampire by the Wicked Boy Ballet Co, choreographed by Trevor Little, performed by Trevor Little and David Dubois. Apparently, it’s not just about vampires, it’s about the shape of the American soul.

Both dancers are in beautiful form, ravishing each other through dramatic choreography. The interaction between them, viewed as a romantic relationship, looks like one wraught with grief and pathos, the struggle for dominance - actually, I kid. Watching guys suck at each other’s necks, the only thing that makes me call it possibly latent homosexuality is that they’re vampires - these might not be gay vampires, they could just be doing it for the narrative! I’m tempted to make Anne Rice / yaoi manga comparisons.

Anyway, that’s not what matters - the dancing is gorgeous. I’ve love to see it.

WHO ARE WE?

Well…WE’RE WICKED

As in: wicked bad…or…wicked cool…or…”the wintah in Bahston is wicked bittah”…or…”I can kick my foahead wicked hahd!!!”

WE’RE BOYS.

‘Nuff said. We’re not opposed to girls. We like girls…well…some of us, at least. They’re useful. Sometimes. 

WE LIVE IN BOSTON.

So, you know…we eat at Dunkin’ Donuts a lot, and like, we hate giving directions… and we’ll tailgate your ass like a mo-fo.

WE’RE REALLY REALLY SEXY.

Trust us. Studies have conclusively shown that the Wicked Boys are, in fact, one of the leading causes of puberty in America today. No one wants to talk about it, but it’s true.

Would we lie?
