I Won’t Dance

Too Sundance comes at a funny time of year for Portland film folks: the year-end movies are still coming out — “The Wrestler” opens on Friday for instance — and the press screenings for the Portland International Film Festival start right after Sundance ends. And it’s not a very big year for Portland filmmakers at the festival: I counted only one short film from a familiar name. Finally I must confess when I realized last year that I was anticipating a trip to watch new movies in the glorious Wasatch Range as a chore instead of a privilege I knew that I needed a break. (I’m not alone by the way:. )So instead of jumping from Sundance right into PIFF and then scar season I’m gonna try a new tack on this movie year.

When the ?b-boys? and ?b-girls? spin around the follow and throw their legs in the air it seems physically impossible to accomplish. “With all the stress of school homework sometimes you need to let loose and have fun and learn a cool move” says dance instructor Godfrey Elder. “You can express yourself in many ways it’s not about competing just dance” says break dancer Pamela Castro. The break dancing program at the YMCA is not just about the dancing but also about learning other skills that the youth can use for the rest of their lives. “They learn how to lead how to work as a team and also how to build friendships” says Flushing YMCA teen director Lisette Martell. “Discipline you have to have hard work you can never quit. You have to stick to your guns and everything” says Jay Figueroa.

“We weren’t expecting it at all. “The show will air on MTV at 9 and is gearing up for a third season of dancing. The nine dance troops will compete for $100000 and a touring contract. America’s Best Dance Crew is known for showcasing hip-hop and break-dancers but Dynamic Edition is bringing a new flavor to the show: Hip-hop and clogging. Shores is a clogging instructor at the Fort Payne School of Performing Arts. The school’s owner Kelly Gwarjanski said she is proud of Shores. “Melissa is super talented and we are really lucky that she teaches with us” Gwarjanski said.
