Beilue: Wanted: Time for a child
Amarillo.com – Apr 20, 2007
But what can I do?”Tommey is 18 and Smith has hired him part time at the Maverick Club. Tommey can shake a leg. He can dance and not just the shimmy-and-shake and break dance but he’s capable of much more. “He told me the other day ‘I want to learn ballroom dancing’” Smith said. “He is capable of so much in performing arts but I can’t teach him more than some basic steps. How could I get him exposed to ballroom dancing?”Smith is director of technology of the Dykeman Unit at the Maverick Club. What she does is deal with about 160 after-school children a day most from first through fifth grade all from east southeast and north Amarillo.
Cuba Gooding: not so Junior in the style stakes
Daily Mail – Apr 20, 2007
I like to be competitive and push myself. “I studied the Japanese martial art of shin-do shotokai for fiveyears after high school and I managed to reach a black-beltstandard. “My first gig was dancing at the 1984 lympics. It wasbreak-dancing and I was throwing myself around behind LionelRichie during the closing ceremony of the Los Angeles Games. Idon?t break-dance quite so much now that I?m 39. “I hate liftingweights. I had to lift a lot for the film Gladiator in 1992 and Ididn?t like what it did to my body… “My first gig was dancing at the 1984 lympics.

I also felt Ilost some of my mobility so after that I vowed I wouldn?t liftweights any more.
Break ut aka Picnic

GA_googleFillSlot(“Stage_Reviews_Body_300x250″); Another silly story based on a prison escape is used as the frame on which to hang scenes and skits of madcap laugh out loud funny acro-dance with bits of breaking thrown in – although not nearly enough. B-boys never used to be actors it was all about the tricking until someone turned it into art and put it on a proscenium arch stage. Here some do it better than others – Jin-Sung Park as Ditz in particular has all the comic expression and animation of a Manga cartoon. All have superb comic timing. The show incorporates faux references to b-boying through the ages and a filmic backdrop – Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian man in a one-handstand split – breaking gladiators in sepia tone spinning at the Colosseum Hitler telling his party people to put their hands in the air and a levitating b-boxing monk.
Reality TV: Bye bye Clyde
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette – Pittsburgh Post Gazette – Apr 20, 2007
MedalisBye bye Clyde — Drexler that is. The NBA Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler rumbaed his way off “Dancing with the Stars. ” His dance with partner Elena Grinenko earns a weak score of 13 from the judges and the viewer votes agreed. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba says he’s the worst dancer in the competition and I’m sorry to say she’s right. Likable Clyde isn’t exactly twinkle toes but he’ll be missed. More importantly the shocker of the week comes from Heather Mills and her prosthetic leg. She takes a tumble after her samba with Jonathan Roberts which makes for a tense moment… Didn’t he expect this reality-TV drama? Give me a break. More importantly Romance returns with a crazy skunk-like hairdo and a new Yorkie named Bella. “I’m ballin’” he tells New York throwing a bunch of magazines he’s appeared in on the floor. Then he proudly says of Bella “This don’t look like your acid head chihuahua baby” referring to New York’s dog Her Majesty. I love it! Three guys don’t show up because one has “issues” one’s on crutches and another’s in jail.

But this time Eve loses with the ballerina and her choreographer lover remaining triumphant. Having worked out a way to adapt the play into dance Eifman using a score patched together from Scriabin and Rachmaninov (whose "Paganini" variations get quite a workout) tells his story with dances of uncommon individuality. His one false step – which for a few minutes sends the ballet spinning into the depths – is a pointless passage of hip-hop break dancing performed by his classic dancers with more guts than skill. That said this is a terrific company tailored to the specific technical and emotional demands of Eifman and his unique style of ballet making. The four principals Wednesday night (there's an alternative cast) were dazzling. This is the kind of dancing and partnering that calls for near-acrobatic brilliance and this all four delivered with artistry. THE SEAGULLThe Eifman Ballet at City Center 55th Street; (212) 581-1212.
EXCL: Kickin’ It with Jamie Kennedy!

People hurt themselves. I hurt my ribs when I broke dance ’cause I was doing this thing where you do the crab across the floor. I wanted to do a kissing scene with Maria Menounos and at first she didn’t want to do it and my ego got hurt. That was the only part that got hurt. CS: Did you breakdance back in high school? Was that something you were into?Kennedy: You know I did the worm… I wanted to do a kissing scene with Maria Menounos and at first she didn’t want to do it and my ego got hurt. That was the only part that got hurt. CS: Did you breakdance back in high school? Was that something you were into?Kennedy: You know I did the worm. I say to myself in life “If people did the worm more they’d have less problems. ” Guy cuts you off in traffic do the worm outside the car. Taxman’s coming do the worm.
