So You Think You Can Dancers coming to entertain the kiddies

I heartily agree, there’s nothing I enjoy more than a quick tango. I would be concerned however if “Timomatic” were using his time and position within this “Kulture Break, Man Up series of workshops and camps for young men aged 12-17 yrs” to evenagelise in any way.

“Believe in god, and you too can get good at this wobbly kneed dancing style…”

I don’t know – those dance camps sound pretty dangerous to me.

I don’t care if they want to run a men’s dance class.

It isn’t as if attending it is vital to breaking thru the glass ceiling – aka – entry to the old exclusive men’s clubs etc.

There’s a place for ‘In the Navy’ then, isn’t there?

Last year I went to little Pikachu Jesus’s school disco, and was delighted to see that all the boys knew all the moves to YMCA and were having a ball getting into it. The irony of an 80’s gay classic being entertainment for primary school children in the Noughties was priceless. And Maribyrnong Primary sing their school song to the tune of YMCA…

You think that’s ironic FJ; saw a recruiting video film-clip for the Army’s SAS once (hard men doing a hard job) and the music accompanying footage of the SAS blokes parachuting out of an aircraft was the classic 80’s gay anthem ‘Its raining men’ (Hallelujah! It’s raining men – amen!). I felt compelled to quietly point this out to the bloke presenting the video; he had absolutely no idea that they had selected a gay anthem for their recruiting video … betcha that got changed quick smart!

Timomatic was being advertised as appearing at the “Parkway” happy-clappy venue, on TV this morning.

I don’t have a problem with this being only for males; I suspect most girls, as some stage or another, have enrolled in dance classes (ballet, jazz, tap, funk etc..) because rightly or wrongly, dance tends to be more socially acceptable for girls. I think it is great that these workshops are aimed at getting young fellas dancing. Perhaps if my husband had had this opportunity as a teenager, I wouldn’t be subjected to his ‘white man overbite’ dancing at weddings.

or is that
hear hear..?

The girls will be very happy if the workshops turn out young men who have well-adjusted social sensibilities, and can keep up with them on the dance floor on Saturday night.
