Michelle Lefevre Article19 Lifetime Dance Loser Award

Lifetime Dance Loser Award

Michelle Lefevre appears to be one of those gross pontificators we are lucky to rarely encounter. An armchair wannabe dancer whose limited claim to fame is a series of anal negativity proffered on her dance blog Article19. Michelle is one of those people who have just enough knowledge where an over inflated ego fills in too many blanks and uses it in a destructive manner. Worse than a know it all, as a sponge, she only knows what fits her empty agenda through the limited capabilities of an ill equipped intellect.

We are not sure what psychological traumas have brought her to the bombastic somersaults that viciously lash out on the dancing community but have had the unfortunate experience of tasting the ignorant infant in all her glory upfront and personal. Lucky for us we do not have to take her serious and her faux attempt at intellectualism fails in the technology world history where 1+1 is 2 and not debatable as art might be. I felt sorry to find blogs and read complaints of many dancers who were devastated from the nasty tripe Lefevre deals out as ”artistic criticism.” Even in the world dance community her inane droning at Article 19 is called childish, belligerent, dangerous, derogatory, and unprofessional.

In order to expand access to dancing video sites where fans, dancers and others could find such sites we noted an older archive of fine dance material on her blog. We bypassed her main page to link to the video archive section – afte all it had nothing of her in it so it appeared very good. As usual we linked and sent an email notification to let the site owner know. Sweet Michelle had little time for such gifts and claimed “fuck off you link farming assholes,” such was the total length of her email message, gratitude, and interest in expanding dance video.

That was okay with us, we don’t mind explaining who we are. Anyone can be an idiot and anyone can hold an opinion; it was up to us to explain ourselves. So we did. At which point she not only reaffirmed her previous colorful language but also added that there was no need for her to add to her “50,000 monthly visitors”. Poor girl, she does not get 1000 hits a month and probably mostly her. Her site ranks in the unknowns – 2,000,000th? That’s okay, we remember such neophytes like Michelle Lefevre back in the mid 90’s and certainly her education on the Internet is generation X. If it did not happen recently it never happened. But we thought most people were more aware of history but not Michelle.

Yes, Michelle Lefevre thinks the Internet started only when domains appeared, a real gen-x educational dropout here. Little known to Michelle is the fact that the Internet goes back to the 1960’s and what she considers the Internet was merely a conversion from one addressing system to the current addressing system. Yep, even though easily found information the mentally challenged Michelle Lefevre said “Also, been on the internet since "1978". Quite an achievement since the first domain name wasn't registered until 1985.” This was in reference to our referring to the owner here, Rick Siegel, being on the Internet since 1978. So for her very limited mind no one could be on the Internet prior to the DNS system being in place. All the time we used bangs (!) to route were our imagination or her ignorance? Is this not a limited intelligence claiming ultimate knowledge? This woman is so full of herself reality has no chance of finding space to permeate. Michelle Lefevre claims to be a debunker, but her bunk is so thick it clogs the mind. Michelle Lefevre glass is so full of rancid water there is no room for real information. All this while was she trying once to expand her dancing website or dance as a whole? Michelle Lefevre knows very little about people, relations, dancing or websites and cares only about a stroked ego and her feeling of superiority. We do not fall for her guff and find her repugnant.

The thing here is that we went and searched her favorite search engine, Google, to find out about her and all we found was a woman whose history was of abusing dancers with anal retentive pontifications from her keyboard. She is a dancing fool! A destructive force in her industry playing knowledgeable – she talks the distorted talk of one who needs to tear others to feel good and cant dance the dance herself.

So, we figured we would let you and all the dancers know why we do not list Article 19’s video archive anymore. For those whose lives are entwined in the dance world you can now know and point to the fact that this woman knows nothing and when she pontificates it is from a vacuum. For those who depend on us to find cool video sites cared for by people who care about your niche we have done you a service by removing this obnoxious woman’s site from the guide. Michelle Lefevre has created a toxic wasteland at Article19 where only those who play up to her over-inflated ego can find a shred of humanity. It would be beyond pale to recommend such a site where the owner cannot create a welcome atmosphere for the dance audience.

Dance on and check out some cool dance video sites that are NOT Article19 or anything to do with the thing called Michelle Lefevre. These sites have cool webmasters and great videos making a postive manifestation for the global dance community.
