Dancin’ Divas

Had a good crowd at tonight’s session. 8 dancin’ divas! Here’s the playlist.

Entertainment Weekly dubs legwarmers “Out”

For those that read the little section in EW called “The Shaw Report” you know the game: They tell you what’s IN, what’s OUT and what’s “Five Minutes Ago.” Apparently, arm warmers are in, and leg warmers are OUT. Know what that means? If they are OUT, that means they were officially IN at one point. Bring back the 80s baby!

Step It Up 2

Some people have a soft spot for low-budget horror movies. Some people love foreign films. My weakness is movies whose plots (and I use that term loosely) serve only to showcase the dance move of the “actors” in the film. “Center Stage”, “Save the Last Dance” and the original “Fame” series, are examples. Though Fame did actually have a compelling plotline. The most recent addition to the genre is “Step It Up 2.” Saw this last night with a fellow DDPP’er and we loved it. Made us wanna go home and have our own little DDPP. The acting was horrible and the plot pieced together from every dance movie to come before it, but the dancing was SICK. I wanna learn to breakdance! Maybe I’ll get a choreographer to come to a future DDPP and teach us a few hip hop dance moves…

NKOTB Reunion?

For those of us who will admit to falling in love with the New Kids on the Block back in the day, you might be interested to know that there are rumors of a reunion tour. Yup- it’s time to bust out your day-glow-orange Joey t-shirt and gigantic John buttons! Source: Entertainment Weekly.

What a feelin’! First Seattle DDPP rawked!

Dancin’ fools who schlepped up the multiple flights of stairs weren’t disappointed in the amazing theater space with a view of downtown Seattle. Decent turnout for our first class and lots of room to boogie. Playlist will be posted later this evening. I woke up with Footloose in my head, which started my day off right!
