Walk it Out

That’s what I do…lots of “Walk it Out in the Big Apple” even though my knees are screaming at me. I’m trying (not very successfully) to deal with the 185 tabs I have open in Firefox and found this video. It’s a trip!

I saw Damn Yankees on Broadway back in the ’50s but Gretchen Wyler had already replaced Gwen Verdon. Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse epitomize Broadway dancing for me…and millions of others. All That Jazz is one of my favorite all-time movies.

Paint me stupid, but when I surfed into this video I thought it was an original sound track. Duh! Hey it could have been. She was a hip lady and I’m sure she’s smiling up there.

I’m not a rap fan, but I really connected with hip-hop dancing back in 2005. Check out this hip-hop photo set from the 2005 Celebrate Dance Festival in Balboa Park. Those kids were great. I really enjoyed them.

Incidentally, folks in San Diego should hang their heads in shame for allowing this festival to fade to dark after 10 years back in 2006. The fees in Balboa Park were raised so much that Eveoke Dance could no longer afford to stage it. Evidently, it’s going to be revived this year in August. Wake up San Diego! Life is not all about beautiful weather and…money, money, money.

So, have a look. It’s a great sync job. I smile every time I watch it and hope you do too.
