Forms to odd Music?

[sirdude]

Many people like doing Forms to music. What is the craziest song you have done a form to?

Here is Mike Martello doing Tai Chi Fan to Johnny Cash:

Greetings sirdude,

The following I would not classify as odd. It is simply a creative connection, as with your link.

Nice. I can fit the 52 fan form onto just about any Latin dance music! Here's one an example that inspired me to start doing that a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLLydPn7J6E

Greetings YinOrYan,

While I would not think to discourage the direction you are looking to take with the fan and it performance potential, if you took another look at what you shared, the performer is missing something that the previous demonstrators has: that kinetic connection/connectivity. Every time she stops, her inner connection dies off. It is not ugly to look at. It is just uncomfortable. I think you should be able to easily surpass that. Don't forget to have fun!

Yes, that was the only example I could find at the moment. Tangos do not flow as much as most other Latin music, but then the 52 fan form also has dead stops between its ABCBDE format and within the E section. Chen forms also tend hold poses in many places.
