    Charleston is the granddaddy of hip hop.

    i have two things to say:

    1. i am glad this is the video of the second group. for a few reasons.

    2. you don't get to see one guy invade another girl's dancing space at the end. (they were both in the second group, but they aren't in the video). it was HILARIOUS. though both were a little shocked and embarrased, to say the least.

    Everyone needs to watch this clip a gazillion times. I'm still in shock from what I've just seen. I read so much about this couple since I first got into swing in '96 or '97!! AAaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!! Many thanks to Peter Loggins for posting it.

    even better than a dance clip...

    ROFL! HAHAHAHHAHAHA! That's awesome!

    As for the youtube dance clip, it proves that short guys can dance and dance well with tall girls! I've only heard excuses for the opposite.

    It's all about perspective, man. One man's soccer clip is another man's sweet new move. Watch me on the dance floor tonight and you may see the "get hit by the ball in the face and fall down" move.

    You never know.

    sweet move! i think we should bring in pops for an intermediate series. we could call it sweet moves that almost look like an accident.

    check out some awesome collegiate shag, among other awesomeness, at a 4 a.m. jam at CH 2002. if we already brought it up, it's still cool.
