Dance fever

I have the itch to dance again (still?), and I blame it on "America's Best Dance Crew" this time. I happened to catch a rerun of the finale tonight. It reminded me that I have to start getting my dance crew together! Right. Oh, I can dream.

I actually think that I could learn and perform those dances, though, as long as there weren't any breakdancing moves involved. Ha, maybe I should watch the clips again and start teaching myself. That's how I learned the dances to music videos back in the day. The first videos that come to mind are all Britney Spears and 'N Sync videos. Hey, don't judge! They had some great choreographers. I mean, they had to do something besides sing (mostly badly). This dance orgy has some of my favorite moves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuZKbXNGDs4. I just know the dance sequence that starts around 1:20, but it's pretty fun. You should try it, no one's looking.

My personal choreography might be similar to that, actually, because I'm big on contrasting flowy/sharp arm movements and body/hip motions. I don't do as much with the feet. You know who else is big on that stuff? Okay, belly dancers, and...hula dancers! After Hawaii, I thought about taking lessons, and then I realized that I don't really want to learn the hula, I want to learn Tahitian! I thought it was the same, but it's not. Tahitian is hula dancing on crack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nAiiXNDvhs. I think this dance only works in Hawaii.

So that settles it. I've got a fever! And the only prescription is more Hawaii...and of course, more cowbell.
