A brief post about futuristic dancing

[neveralarch]

So, I've been watching this old German science fiction show called Raumpatrouille Orion. It's basically original Star Trek except with slightly better special effects and more emphasis (so far, anyway) on earth-defense than on space exploration. The dialogue's campy, the acting's okay, and the plots are a little haphazard (probably made more so by my iffy comprehension). But. But the vision of the future is amazing.

In the first episode, the team is at a bar, or something. And what follows is, well. Indescribable. So I'm not going to try. (No German required for the video, fyi.)

Watch on YouTube

Yeah. I've watched this scene about five times now, and I still don't know what the guys in the foreground are saying because I keep getting distracted. Fish! Elbow waggling! What.

I just want to know who the choreographer is who came up with this. I'm not sure whether he/she should be praised or handled very carefully, but I want to know either way.

Yeah, I want to know too. Hopefully the rest of his/her work is this bizarre, or I shall be disappoint.
