Mike Song & Phil Garvin – AlunaGeorge “Attracting Flies” Choreography

Oh boy, I’ve been a huge fan of Mike Song since I first watched him with Kaba Modern on America’s Best Dance Crew. I’m not sure if that entire team is still doing something together, but I like the fact that most of them are still dancing and doing their own side projects. This choreography and remix are amazing.

Future Wedding Ideas

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAAW7OLetyQ&feature=related]

I know it’s a little bit silly to be taking notes for my own future wedding someday, but it can’t be helped. Little girls have been planning since they were kids! It’s just our thing and I’m going to leave my justification at that.

The internet is such a dangerous thing to be using while doing school work because if you’re like me, you will go completely off the rails and into tangents. I got dragged into one extreme tangent last night that lasted for nearly an hour and a half. It started with a tweet I believe, that led me to a dance group I used to follow – Kaba Modern. Maybe you’ve heard of them? They were on the first season of America’s Best Dance Crew and while they did not take first place, they still ranked pretty high and were my favorite. That then led me to YouTubing their most recent videos where I was continuously watching videos of their choreography. Lastly I stumbled upon them doing an appearance at a wedding in which they created a special dance that included the groom. Choreography from Kaba Modern plus weddings. Jackpot!

Massive Monkees have made the cut!!

The local dance group Massive Monkees from Seattle will be competing in this upcoming season of America’s Best Dance Crew. The show will premiere Sunday, August 9th on MTV

The description of the group found on MTV’s website:

MASSIVE MONKEES (Seattle, WA) – This Seattle crew have grinded their way through national and international competition at the highest level over the past five years. They have won a number of prestigious titles including B-boy Summit 2000 and the World B-boy Championships at Wembley Arena in London, England. The Monkees are actively involved in their community, working at local centers with children, coaching child sports and teaching b-boy classes. They even have their own holiday, as April 26th was dubbed Seattle’s official Massive Monkees Day in 2004. With this much talent and personality, they could be next in the line of b-boy crews to walk away with the $100,000 prize.

Good luck boys!
