By special request: ballet + jello
They said it couldn’t be done. But hey, I’m a can-do person.
So here, at commenter Gringo’s behest, is a post on ballet and jello.
Helped out by the remarkably resourceful and inventive act of Googling the words “ballet jello,” I came up with two examples of the juxtaposition of those fabulous neo-neocon special interests.
First up, we have a photo of a cute little girl in her cute little ballet outfit, holding a packet of as-yet-unmade jello. Her proud mom, the blogger, will probably be a bit surprised at the strange uptick in traffic today, if she even has a site meter. Be very kind if you go there.
Next, we have a video that I found. I think you will agree that it illustrates, not jello and ballet, but jello as ballet:
Whodda thunk it?
The remarkable attraction of the ever-present yet unseen universe around us.
It is quite obvious that ballet plus jello equals …. The SHIMMY!

Like my sister Kate,
Shimmy like jello on a plate….
All we need is a composer. That was really beautiful.
Neo, you are amazing.
Thank you, Neo. We commenters appreciate the interaction you have with us.
How long did it take to find that Jello ballet video?
Take that differential equations.
Yep, see, see, those bloggers who don’t have comments turned on, or don’t read them are missing out on fun stuff like this. And we readers would miss this kind of good stuff too!
(and, believe you me, I am NOT being sarcastic)
The only thing really missing is the appropriate music – perhaps, “Waltz of the Flowers” by Tchaikovsky would fit nicely?
Cutie Lily followed by the beauty of a magical jello dance, thanks for the smiles.
The gracefulness of Jello…who knew? And little Lilly, with or without her Jello, is simply adorable.
Somebody said that it couldn’t be done
But she with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but she would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till she’d tried.
So she buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On her face. If she worried she hid it.
She started to sing as she tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and she did it!
(with apologies to Edgar Guest, who never had Google)
Thanks for the smiles indeed. As Satchmo used to say, “What a wonderful world.”
I’m sure there are plenty of bloggers who write about ballet, and others who write about Jello.
But where else can you see a blog post about ballet and Jello?
Nowhere, that’s where.
You’ve found your niche, Neo. 🙂
For what it’s worth Neo-
Two of the final four on “So You Think You Can Dance” this season are from the ballet world. One guy and one gal. Nice to see ballet getting the respect it deserves.
Haha! Two things: first, gelatin is awesome…it dances! And I shudder to think how much time you wasted today on ballet and Jello.
Actually, it took only a minute or two to find them.
Google is your friend. At any rate, it’s my friend.
Behavior of such substances which are neither liquids nor solids is wonderful, and I studied this branch of mechanic in university. This was my theme of student study somewhat 45 years ago. Partial differential equations for such media can be written, of course, but most problems governed by such equations are virtually intractable. That is when I understood that real-world problems quite often are beyond the grasp of mathematics we know – and beyond the grasp of scientific method in general. This conclusion was a valuable lesson in humility.
