    Yup... falty, mike, casey, terisa.... and several more that I can't think of at the moment.

    I got to dance with casey at SLE (actually at the russian on thursday), and it was fantastic.

    I was looking for something to wake me up, and this did the trick.

  1.  

    My new favorite move:

    Download this clip from ULHS 2005 (cam02_medium-prelims-heat1.avi)

    Watch the guy in the middle (Adam) from 2:34-2:38

    I love it.

    Jewel McGowan swivels and switches:
    here (about 2:18 in) and here. when i grow up, i want to dance like her.

    make sure to watch the first clip all the way to the end to see the sweet robot dance the Andrews sisters do.

    Me. Dean. Incomparable.

    Well, I guess I must concede that the music is entirely different, thus resulting in different dancing, but if I were to dance to "Let's Make Music" I doubt I would look much like Dean.

    T_Roach, that movie is several years old! As much as I hate old videos of me dancing, it's nice to see how I've improved.

    I didn't post the video, so it wasn't my choice. I wanted to post the video my sister in law took, but she did a pretty poor job and I won't let her video tape people dancing again.

    ouch. less than perfect video is better than no video!

    Well, I mean I would once she has a little more practice with the camera (holding it steady and going easy on the zoom), and learns to follow instructions like take more wide out shots, rather than just me.

    In her defense, she got me walking off stage and dropping W flat on her back.
