HARLEM SHAKE!!!

This week, I watched the publishers over at Harper Collins do a Harlem Shake dance.  At the time, and keep in mind this is only about 2 days ago, I had no idea this was a new dance craze inspired by the song of the same name by some techno guy called Baauer.  So apparently I have been out of the loop.  Honestly, when I first saw the Harper Collins video I thought, "Wait. That's not the Harlem Shake."  Enter new dance craze.  For all of you folks who think those crazy people in costumes are really doing the Harlem Shake...sorry!  I am presenting to you a dance video that featured the original.  Play it for your kids. Teach 'em how to shake.  Then you can watch the other video for fun!  (Please note, I am not against ANY form of dancing, whether it is the chicken dance or a silly dance craze.  I just want you all to be informed dancers because I think you rock!)

I am also delighted to report that some of you are jumping on the band wagon.  I've heard from a few people about suggestions for Dance Friday.  Keep sending 'em folks!  Thanks to Sarah for this week's runner up, "Lover Not a Fighter" a song by kindie rock group Mista Cookie Jar & The Chocolate Chips.  They get bonus points for playing Soul Train in the background.

Hey...I'm starting to notice a trend.  We are bringing it back to the good ol' days.  Tonight, I will be joining the likes of a couple of LA's finest in getting my boogie on.  Fun Fact:  While KG Superstar teaches us how to Dougie, Anthony Valadez always projects old Soul Train videos. Now that is motivation to keep dancing!
