You can find thousands—maybe millions—of dance movies on YouTube. Labeling one of them as “the most unusual” might seem to be a reach. But we challenge you to find anything as offbeat as “REKT.” The Scottish director Jamiel Laurence is celebrated for unusual dance staging. But this one—set at the Ultimate Car Wash & Valeting Centre in Glasgow—is beyond astonishing. Cheers also for the dancer Philip Alexander McDonald. What he put up with makes the “Singing in the Rain” storm look like a sunny day.
