Old Folks in the House - Character Dance - Part 1
As I posted in a post last week, I have been doing these competitions for years and I have to say, as far as crowd pleasing dances, this years "Character" dance was one of the largest crowd pleasing dances in years.
When you compete and see the 5-A teams, and your team is small, it can sometimes be depressing when you see the entire team on stilts or on unicycles.
However, this year our girls did a dance that got people standing in the audience every performance.
They did a dance spoofing old people. At first, I was a bit worried it would be offensive to the older people in the crowd but the girls did such a great job that it became more of a "roast" about getting old than being offensive.
Click here to see the dance on youtube.The girls did have fun doing it but there wasn't much difficulty in the dance so even though it was a crowd pleaser, it didn't do well in the judging category.
At all the competitions, the other teams fans would comment on how cute the dance was and how creative the music along with the idea was.
Princess Four was the "main" man and everyone said they couldn't take their eyes off her as she was so funny in the role.
I chuckled over and over each time I saw her do the dance. She and the "Main" female do a little dance at the beginning where he is flirting with her and they do some dancing. It is cute to see them dancing.
At first, the girls were upset they didn't get to be females as the women get to do more difficult dance moves than the men.
But as the months passed, they realized that both parts have character (as in the name of the dance) so they both settled into their roles and enjoyed getting ready and making the most of the part.
You can see Princess Five in the upper right two photos doing her thing and strutting her stuff.
I am going to do a second post on this as there were such fun pictures and the costumes changed a bit as glasses, eyebrows and mustaches were added along the way.
