I love how much dancing Tina and Kurt and Mercedes get to do in season 1. Especially because later they’re all made fun of and insulted for their lack of skill, or called lazy.
I mean like Kurt had his little Single Ladies video that Tina was also involved in. And Tina was working on her own dance number during Dream On. And Mercedes got to dance some during Bust Your Windows, as well as be part of the flash mob with Kurt and Tina during Safety Dance
And who were they dancing with?? Umm, Brittany, Mike, Matt, etc. The ones we’re told are the best dancers on the show. And they all manage to keep pace with them. And I know it’s not the same for Mercedes cause both hers were fantasy sequences but still. Sure the dances were nothing close to, say, winning first place in a big televised dance competition or anything, but they knew she had moves. I mean they wrote her into these numbers and she wasn’t standing still
But nah it was easier to make fun of Kurt’s common moves and say Tina could barely pick up the most generic dances and give Mercedes nothing to do and then call her lazy (: Anyway if anyone ever wonders why season 1 is my fave season then one reason is because my fave characters weren’t being treated like pure horseshit yet. Those things are very related
Also semi unrelated and I’m not like trying to shit on Naya or anything but the way they told us Santana was one of the best dancers was the same way they told us Finn was the best male vocalist in the group lmao. Like girl where were you during Bust Your Windows huh?? I swear I saw some gifset of the scene where Santana makes fun of Kurt’s three signature moves but instead it’s just Santana’s three signature moves of like. Waving her arms over her head, doing her weird little arm pump thing, and slapping her own ass lmao. But nah I mean she’s good but not like Mike and Brittany good
