    I envy their sweet dance moves, but not so much their creepy ability to dress like clowns, or their tiny whimsical bicycles.

    Tap + Drums = Cool

    That's crazy awesome. Lots of camera angles mean lots of takes, and there are a couple of times when the tap doesn't sync with the sound. He also must have anchored those drums well for his kicks. wow

    yeah. we lost about a week worth of posts in the transition.

    and by "we" i mean "i".

    and by "lost" i mean "wiped out the whole forum and had to restore my most recent backup".

    sorry 'bout that.

    thanks for posting the videos again [Emoticon not found]

    Hey Bobby. Here's that clip of Randy Swing that I told you about a long time ago. This is before Dean Collin's had a big influence on dancing in LA. (From what I hear on dancehistory.org)

    I'd only seen a cut up version of this scene! Great to see all the missing parts. Watch for Dean and Jewel using a very advanced umbrella connection =D

    Perhaps y'all remember when Mike Faltesek was teaching us that one jazz routine at Rockin in Rhythm. (And by that one, I mean this one[Emoticon not found] http://youtube.com/watch?v=hlK0Xeow5D8

    He mentioned to us that his inspiration for the opening sequence came from the Berry Brothers, and now I'm greatly interested in the comparison. Here's the Berry brothers: http://youtube.com/watch?v=SDZofT5zT_I

    The bit in question is right at the beginning, after they're down on their knees.
