Return to the World of Dance is an instructional guide for those perplexed by the post-modern condition. Return to the World of Dance is not about dance but is a tribute to Fernand Léger?s Ballet Mécanique. Return to the World of Dance is the last in a series of videos made for the lovers of dance, the Jane Fonda workout video, and the twister game. This series ask the question, "If it is big, if it is orange and if it is ugly--is it contemporary art?" The World of Dance series provide self-help for those who love dance and are without the means to produce a full-scale "Le Sacre du Printemps."
