The beat, the feet! Viva! Viva!
Hindu – May 24, 2008
But 15 minutes into Lourd Vijay#8217;s salsa class and I was left feeling I had two left feet. (Okay it was the first time I was tryin
g this out!)
The class took off with a 10-minute warm up session comprising Shines. Shines are the building blocks of any dance form and help enhance one#8217;s dance style. We were taught the Mambo and the Shuffles. Mambo is when you put your left foot out then bring it back and, then the right foot moves back and then forward till both feet are together. Shuffles are simpler. You move sideways #8212; the left foot moves out and then back in and then the right foot follows suit… I keep my gaze fixed on his shoes for it helps me keep pace. #8220;Look into your partner#8217;s eyes and smile,#8221; he instructs. We learnt the front break, side break and the diagonal back rock. It is not as complicated as it sounds because Vijay simplifies each movement and runs through it step by step. It was time to switch partners again. In the course of the class I changed partners thrice and my workout was later divided between a guy who should be more sparing in the use of perfume and another who should be more generous with it. Suddenly I lost focus, stamped my partner#8217;s foot and then bumped into the couple next to me.
Dancing leprechaun in search of his own pot of gold

addVariable(”fontcolor”, “0×336699″); ap. addVariable(”alerts”, “false”); ap. write(”flashcontent”); What do you do as a dancing leprechaun?I go out to a corner and dance to get people’s attention and advertise the specials of the night, like breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays. I started out trying to be a busboy but they said there were no open positions so they said I could be a leprechaun. It’s super hot outside, but it’s rewarding when people drive by and the kids in the back seat are smiling. I work two-hour shifts on weekdays and four-hour shifts on weekends. What was your first job?Winn-Dixie… A college grad! I want to teach science because I’ve had a handful of nasty science teachers and I want to break the mold. I really want to get kids back into science. It used to be the coolest thing. Dagny Salas can be reached at dsalas@sptimes. com or (727) 893-8872.

Male dancers cheer Mystics – The Press: local, national world…
The Press – May 24, 2008
The Mystics Hip Hoppers, who dance up a storm during breaks, are part of TRiPLe8FuNk dance company based at Auckland University. Although only six cheerleaders take part on the night, the company draws on its large roster of dancers to keep the act fresh. Breakdancer Lex Tapay has noticed a big difference between freestyle dancing and dancing in front of a crowd. quot;On the court itrsquo;s more rehearsed and yoursquo;re there to perform,quot; he says. quot;Street dancing is less rehearsed and you move with the music.
