Lawrence Leung Learns to Break Dance! at GUD Bosco
NEWS.com.au – Feb 25, 2008
content-row clearfloat –> LAWRENCE Leung desperately wants to be cool. He idolises a laidback smooth-talking bass-playing older brother and finds that he comes up short in the cool stakes.

He draws the audience in to his deliberations on the subject – on this night the audience judged that while Adelaide identity Johnny Haysman was definitely cool Jon Bon Jovi did not quite make the grade. This is a well-rehearsed slightly cheesy and extraordinarily smiley performance. The final breakdancing performance is a spectacular finish to a smooth routine. The judgment? Not all that cool but definitely funny.

All I hear is the Worm” Roddick said. “I wanted to find something as cheesy if not cheesier to go with which was tough.

Students were also asked to raise money for the charity.
