shanmonster: (Dance Monkey Dance!)
Here I am with [livejournal.com profile] sarcasm_hime, Khizmet, and Valizan trying out some ATS improvisation. For those of you who are unfamiliar with ATS (American Tribal Style belly dance), it is an improvised group dance. Ergo, there is no choreography. We know what moves to do next by way of signals from the lead dancer (think of Marines giving hand signals during covert operations). It's a hell of a lot of fun, and I'm going to go practice again today.

Yesterday morning, I went to BodyJam where I worked on a few different dance styles: Bollywood, salsa, hiphop, and a wee spot of krumping. I'm amazed at krumping, but man, I sure can't do it (yet!). I must figure out that forward-back chest slide/shimmy. Every time I try to add my arms, it turns into a shoulder shimmy, which is SO not what it ought to look like. I need to channel the aggression of my camo pants for this one, not the girly bedlah of Fifi.

Oh yeah. I live in a guys' dorm, now. My roommates are [livejournal.com profile] f00dave, [livejournal.com profile] gha5t, and [livejournal.com profile] dreamlikedouche, who arrived yesterday. And tonight I'm gaming again. I'm being inundated with boys.

Hmm, that video seems to be a "friends-only, locked" kinda deal.

Doh! Maybe Khizmet is still waiting for permission from the other dancers....

Try it again, now. I think it may have been unlocked.

Humidity is rising - Barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men.

It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Every Specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Amen!
