A Whole Different Kind of Spring
The economy is wobbling. Middle class jobs are shrinking (tried to find a factory job in the US lately?). So while some job experts are preaching the opportunities available in home based businesses and entreprenuerial projects, I’ve discovered some folks who’ve been able to forge a career out of what David Letterman would no doubt call “Stupid People Tricks.” I suppose it’s not too surprising that someone thought to try doing a hula hoop while standing on their head, but to then go out and turn it into a whole act is sheer brilliance. Or, rather, it’s sheer vaudeville. Vaudeville is alive and well in this country, it’s just on cable TV and YouTube instead of the theaters of Main Street.
This video shows a battle between two street dance crews on some kind of organized event, but I thought the two primary dancers were exceptionally good - especially the guy in white.
He’s the first guy that dances - and the guy that does most of the dancing - is amazingly springy. I want springs on my feet, too. I wonder if they’re stick-ons or if he had them surgically implanted?
