A History of Dance Part 1

Wikipedia states :

MC Hammer (born Stanley Kirk Burrell; March 30, 1962) is an American MC who was popular during the late 1980s and early 1990s, known for his dramatic rise to and fall from fame and fortune and his trademark Hammer Pants.

Most people know about MC Hammer. This isn't new or exciting information.

Wikipedia describes jumpstyle as:

Jumpstyle is a dance mainly practiced in Europe, specifically the Netherlands, Belgium, and northern France. The dance is also called Jumpen (English word Jump + the Dutch en which means "to jump" or "jumps").

I've talked about this before, when Michelle and I did a little jumpstyle ourselves.

What I haven't mentioned is the strange similarities I believe to have found between dancing in MC Hammer videos and jumpstyle. Check it out and decide for yourself.

Nicole's Dance Updates

Recently Michelle and I have decided that we need to bring Jumpstyle to the world. It's an awesomely fun style of dancing that is pretty easy to learn, and looks neat when done with someone else. I would post a video, but really, the one Michelle has on her blog is really good. So, you can go look at it there. It's really fun!

But, I have second dancing passion that developed, well, today. It's probably been there all my life, and now its just coming into the light. I want to dance Thriller. Preferably with a large group of people dressed like zombies! Ah. And just the thing, Thrill the World. It does just that. It's awesome. Last year they had 1722 people around the world doing the dance at the same time. I am so pumped. Chances are they won't be in the town that I am living in, but I'm still excited!
