Dancing Dude dancing

hi
how many dancers do we have here? and i don't mean dancers as in people who go to a club and swing their arms around. i want to know if we have some professional dancers here or people who had some training in different styles of dance.

i've started dancing since i was 5. i took ballet and folk dance classes 3 times a week. i also took some latin classes - salsa, merengue , but ballet is my fav. when i enter a dance class i forget everything, no matter what kind of problems i have at home or school. performing in front of the audience gives me such a rush - better than any drugs will ever do

if you have the same passion for any kind of dancing - this is the place to talk about it

Various dance styles I know: liquid, pop, hop, stomp and poi. I suck now but I'm getting better. I'd like to learn to breakdance. American party kids dance the best. Europeans can't dance worth a shit.

That's prolly the one thing the American scene has on the European scene. We put the DANCE back in dance music.

I have no formal training other than Phys Ed class. I want to take a swing or some kind of formal dancing class tho. I think it would be a good skill to know.

anywhoo..what I wanted to say was that I have no actualy training, but I still managed to win a jive contest..IMO its only cuz I threw the girl around the best, not cuz I was skilled.

Yap. I 'dance'.. although only at raves. Normal pubs etc. where they play disco hits make me sick. Poppy tunes aren't something which make me dance anymore. Trance has good beat, nice energy... yum yum.

One night I was watching a flamenco show at a elite club @ tenerife. I was pretty *ucking amazed when one of the guys came to me from the stage and said that hey, why don't you come along. I got to dance with a truly beautiful spanish lady in front of hundreds of people. Heh.

tu-face that was hella funny but i think we've digressed off topic. well pink lolly i haven't had any formal dance training. i've always loved to dance ever since i was a kid and people have always told me that i'm a good dancer. but it seems that dancing is all about attitude. would you agree? i mean i'll admit that i don't really know what i'm doing but i just act like i do and people seem to enjoy it. kinda odd. i tried taking ballroom classes but we had to keep switching partners and i was spending more time getting used to the different partners than learning how to dance. and i did dance in my university's hawaiian luau with the hawaii club. samoan slap dancing is fun. other than that just regular old street dancing. breaking and popping at 11yrs, liquid at 18yrs, and trying to master glowsticks currently. got nunchuks down. strings next. but i understand how you feel when you dance. ultimate rush. you've got to see billy elliott.

Well, professional?? nope but I do poi and i don't suck (at least that's what people at raves tell me. and I'm learning liquid nowadays but yeah I dance.

Question

What's *poi* ?? maybe we don't call it the same thing...


Posted by HobbesGroove on Sep-19-2001 19:42:

At the begining of this year I never danced, now I'm one of the first people out on the floor. It's so easy to move to electronica : ) I've never had any formal training aside from the stuff in gym class and from friends (some of who have had all the formal training) I use to be all about the glowsticks, but now.... one night all the foot work clicked, the drops and spins fell into place. It was like being in a game where I just jumped to the next level. All that I previously new was left behind, I can still do my glowstick stuff but nothing like I use to. So now I'm learning all new moves : ) Started practing my poi too. Must be an all around raver. But I feel I'm at the point now where I don't need the added light to draw attention to myself. I still carry around my micro lights for light shows, but I haven't really touched a pair of glowsticks in about a month. God I love to dance, makes me wonder why I never did it before. Nothing like walking down the halls at work liquiding, every once and a while droping or breaking out a spin. Everyone around the office has become pretty acoustomed to it.

Do any of you all play stop-light-disco? when your driving along and you come to a stop light, put the car in park (the most important thing) turn the music up, yell stop-light-disco! everyone gets out and dances till the lights turns green : ) The look on other drivers faces is priceless I tell you, try it sometime : )

When I lived in Hawaii, we used to call this thick purple paste that tasted like........paste, poi. hehe I think *poi* is glowstick-string, you know, when you twirl the glowsticks like weapons.

I tooked modern, jazz, and ballet when I was litte (6th & 7th grade), then completely stopped dancing. Until I discovered raves, which lead me to learn house and finally breaking. Now i teach breakdancing and house step at all the clubs.

I love to dance If I learned the monkfish, I'd rep the states for you tu_face. hehe
