Talent show performances

Oh, nostalgia! I danced with a group of girls in my high school talent show way back in 1974. My dance performance at this year's event took me back. Jose sent me a link to a YouTube video, The Evolution of Dance, that is so famous it is now imitated by kids in talent shows across the country. There are the versions of this video that imitate the original: The Science Teacher, the two cute dancer girls, the two Jr. High School boys One of the charming things about the kids is that they've probably never seen the dances, films, or videos that the first several bits are imitating, so they just don't get the Saturday Night Fever walk.

Then there are the updaters: kids who start with the imitation, but then throw in the dances their audience will recognize (at least the kids, if not the teachers):


The third kid over is a great dancer:


This is simply awesome!


Not dancing, but this is from this year's talent show at my high school alma mater. You will not believe this what this kid can do!
