Do The D-A-N-C-E...

My girlfriend often shows me her dance videos (she is the videographer for UNITE, a Winnipeg based dance company.) Watching her dance routines reminds me of junior high, where I got into break dancing, and youtube tutorial videos. Looking around at her different videos on youtube, I found some new kinds of dance I want to attempt to learn.

Dance 1: DnB Dancing

I’m coming back to Drum n Bass, a genre of music I’ve known of for a long time, but never really listened to. I’ve seen people dance like this, and I’ve tried to mimic the best I could. Now, with youtube tutorials, I will melt the dance floor, that is if I don’t get out of breath first. Hopping up and down is tiring to say the least.

Dance 2: House Dancing

Now here is a genre of music I absolutely listen to, I just didn’t know it had a dance to go with it. House dancing looks like bboy stuff, but more jazz/swing-ier. Also looks great with Hammer pants.

Dance 3: 1930’s Swing/Jazz Dancing

I can’t stop watching this video. Plus, Daft Punk.

Dance 4: HardCore Dancing

Okay, this one is a joke, but it’s entertaining. I think the concept of angry teenagers flailing around to angry music is funny, but the idea that this became a ‘dance style’ is even better.

I can’t wait to put together the greatest (or weirdest) dance routine ever.
