La La La Human Steps on Mondo Beyondo

[jadwyga]

Every Video i saw so far with LeCavalier ist totally fulfilling my sense of beauty and arts! I am reading all those comments that say she is a man or she is transsexual, however, ALL of us women look kind of manly if we stop behaving in certain "female ways"!

[hyperemia]

I'm so happy to have found this video after, what?, 25 yrs? Can't stop watching it, it's mesmerizing!

[illuminatioracle]

do a barrel roll

[mutualfriendful]

Sounds like Matrix.

[tiggie1975]

I remember seeing this when I was about 9 or 10 yo. It made such an impact on me (and I'm not a huge fan of dance or the arts in general).

[adaywithastrud]

@tiggie1975 same effect here..some people get it some don't. I loved it.

[stephenkirkby]

if you like this check out 'DV8 The cost of Living' Both are fabulous

[IDmadge]

Thank you! Probably my favorite dance video ever. Good to run into it after all these years.

[balleristi]

What is the name of the compouser!?

[ericmtl]

The song is by West India Company and it's called My Shooting Star.

[balleristi]

thanks! Awesom feeling!

[penkapena]

Amazing and far more interesting than some of the 'contemporary' dance being created today!

[snorhyveln]

Louise Lecavalier! She is quit an extraordinary woman!!

[snorhyveln]

She is not!!

[neva2b4gotten69]

she is trans, correct?

[lclmr]

Dommage qu'il y ait cet interminable début, les inutiles scènes de sauna. La suite est du pur Lecavalier, poupée désarticulée et inquiétante. Les lunettes de l'homme ajoute au contraste : le type normal qui doit manier une grenade...

[dahumanoid]

amazing dancers ...lol.....

[celularrrr1]

SHE is great dancer, idiot,,,,,

[whillop]

1:45 in , & this Vid is TOTALLY GAY !!!!

[scmm42]

>> 1:45 in , & this Vid is TOTALLY GAY !!!!

That's a man and a woman. In what way is this gay?

[whillop]

Oops , sorry !

[ciararavenblaze]

@whillop to call something gay--namely, as an insult--is to shout to the world that you fear the possibility of being gay yourself.

[whillop]

@ciararavenblaze Sorry , I used to drink a lot . I don't anymore , but as I watched this again , Oh boy ! You've gotta admit that it's a pretty queer little vid . Not that there's anything wrong with that .

[illuminatioracle]

@whillop it is a man and a woman and yet, i've still got to agree with you. this is still off the charts homo

[fionnmccueil]

@whillop --- Homophobia is always wrong.

[GildaTheLily]

OMG! I never thought I'd ever see that again - I remember watching it on the Bette Midler show at the time and being completely wowed ~ thanks so much for posting it :)

[amygurl63]

I first saw La La La in the UK on Altered Image (I think it was called that.) in 1984. Mick Karn did the theme. I was intrigued by the female image until I realised it was a very androgynous person of whom I didn't know was male or female. Is she transsexual?

[scmm42]

>> Is she transsexual?

Her name is Louise Lecavalier, and she's all woman.

[amygurl63]

Thank you. I just wasn't certain at the time, but I do know they were Canadian.

[camillaparker]

Does it matter?

[amygurl63]

To put it simply - no

[jukeyjuke11]

I know the point now is moot: First it is NO ONE's damn business what her gender is. Second... her gender is irrelevant to her performance. What is wrong with people? OMG...it stirred emotions in you and now you HAVE to know. Get a life!

[lomer82]

What amazing physical partnering.

[misteriobuffo]

OMG!. I recorded the audio of this on a cassette recorder 25 years ago when I was watching the program on tv. Had never seen it again 'til now. I still have the cassette though. Thxs so much for posting.

[splinky45]

Thank you for posting this! I have never forgotten Mondo Beyondo and its been 26 years. It was way ahead of its time.

[tiggie1975]

Strange how some things stick in your head. I was 10 yo when I saw this.

[tiggie1975]

Thanks for posting this video!

[santaskaters]

yo the girls is a guy.

[todles777]

your mums a guy

[122172639]

I almost always love La La Human Steps... this one has some amazing moves, of course, but other times, I feel like I'm watching Chris Crocker dance with a businessman... some of it is very awkward between awesome moments. Strange, and Midler is even stranger here--what happened to the lovely singer 0_0?

In any case, I love the Amelia dance by them (and even more when put to Temposhark, as available here on YT)...

[ericmtl]

Bette I love you but shut the fuck up

[memyownandyou]

Wonderful!! Thankyou

[jazzy1015]

wow.

[resumedsr]

bet middler is an idiot!

[noelsalzman]

The music is by West India Company (guy from Blancmange), this is their only follow-up to "Ave Maria" I think, the album is called "New Demons" and is very hard to find . . .

[aharper12]

the female looks so androgynous...

[Yuchers]

I love La la la Human Steps - and Louise LeCavalier is absolutley phenomenal!!!!!!

[Badger100260]

I remember Jimmy Pursey leaving punk group Sham 69 and turning up on music show doing La la la Human dance act. Anyone else remember it?

[thybewitching]

Much nostalgia for this video that inspired me! Thanks for posting!

[dabratattack]

Had Bette Midler not hid behind a half-baked idiotic character, maybe people would have taken the genius of La La La Human Steps, and the other performance artists introduced on Mondo Beyondo more seriously.

[virgogirl909]

tears of joy! so so so influenced by this when i was a teen :)

[Eriam91]

Je crois que je préfère les chorégraphies d'Edouard Lock à ce temps là! J'aime beaucoup beaucoup ses dernières oeuvres avec des danseurs avec une formation de ballet, mais Louise Lecavalier est trop intense!

[PhilMcKrakken]

Wow! Louise is so dreamy...

[Jaelle3]

wow!!! elle est écoeurante!!!

[Nategar]

Wonderful!! Been looking for this for ages and finally found it on here,thnx!
