For that don't check our actual website...we released Part 3 of "Up In Da Club" yesterday. Totally on time too. Anyway, in this episode Evan gets a dance lesson from Lotus. I played Lotus... and yeah, I used to be a dancer.
I wasn't like Lotus, I swear...I wasn't "cool" enough to be like him, and definitely wasn't a good enough dancer to be all cocky about it, but yes, when I was in college I was on a hip hop dance team called "Ascension". I was on it all four years of school, definitely learned a lot, definitely shaped my time in college, definitely had a lot of fun. Since then though, I haven't danced at all, and I do miss it a lot. Even worse, I've definitely lost a few steps and wouldn't be able to keep up with all the crazy awesome dancersout there these days. There were a lot of camera tricks and special effects used in the new short to make it look like I sorta knew what I was doing. Ascension was a great team. We competed, did shows, made music videos. Wes and Ted even got involved! They were honorary members. The team is still there at UCSD today, so lookout for them if you ever go. Sigh to think I used to be able to move like this... (see if you can spot me)
The opening picture is from this performance in 2006. Anyway, enough showing off and reminiscing about the glory dayz. I think it's really because I do miss it. I sometimes think it'd be really fun to teach a class around here. Nothing crazy since I'm not "hip wit it" anymore, but beginner stuff? Anyone wanna sign up? I promise I won't be like Lotus.
don't get arthritis !
