ok, so I’d just like to say that it’s a little odd that on Saturday night I was in Collegetown at Pixel with a fellow Warwickian and I was doing most of those moves and I was getting a LOT of attention. So much so that I was offered a ring, or a beer, whichever you like to call it. And I think it’s pretty lame that Miss B had someone there watching my moves and then left the Cornell area on some secret spy plane back to NYC to teach B said moves and exploit my talent…..AGAIN!

I would obviously be rocking my Blossom inspired sunflower hat and maybe even the dress that my mom sewed for me. Boom! In your face! ok… I will admit I’m a little intimidated by your sister’s experience. I’ll obviously have to fall back on my experience as an imaginary Fly Girl and beyond that… I’ll just dig deep. Bring it! And consider yourself um… served. (?)

This video was more powerful than we could have anticipated. The danger is getting lost in the imaginary dancers world. Like, I think I may have shape shifted into Beyonce at one point yesterday. Can you imagine the muscle aches I had this morning? I’m thankful that through this video the dangers of imaginary dancing will finally get the attention they deserve.

Oh… also.. A dance off is in order! Imma school you!!!

Megan, Dr. Carolyn, Chad, Alisa, Joy, David, Maura, Chrissy…

Do you remember what our lives were like before Beyonce released this video? This song is pretty much the only thing I care about now. At this point it’s not even fun anymore.

Chrissy, of course I remember your mad skillz at the Bandwagon! I wonder why you guys didn’t use the regulation cardboard box?

Joy, seriously…the dance-off just might not be fair anymore. If we include my older sister and her experience in the Funky Fresh Five..I don’t know, I don’t know. But you would probably bring the fire when it comes to style and presentation. Can anyone say “sunflowers”?

Maura, we have to start weening ourselves off. Like maybe we only watch it twice an hour instead of 5 times in an hour?

Alisa, unfortunately I’m not way ahead of you. Trust me;-)

Chad, so Daniel Craig is in love with me?! He does live in Astoria and loves girls who don’t shower until 4 on Sunday and wear horn-rimmed glasses?!

Carolyn…word.

Megan, you and your brother’s important contribution to the world of imaginary dance will no longer go unnoticed. Stand proud!

Thanks to all for reading!
Sarah

Excellent post!! As an actual dancer, it is difficult for me to quite understand what you’re going through as an imaginary dancer. As you may recall, I was a member of the famous “Funky Fresh Five” all female break dance crew, circa 1984. I believe my specialty was something called windmills (involved balancing on your elbows with legs in the air). It’s actually quite interesting that windmills were my “specialty” since I really couldn’t do them. I believe I was the only one who could balance on my elbows for a split second (and I mean literally a split second), before collapsing to the Bandwagon floor (our rehearsal studio). At my age now, I would actually kill to be able to balance for even a split second on my elbows. Anywho -keep up the imaginary dancing and leave the real stuff to the professionals like me!!

Oh Sarah, I am an imaginary dancer, too!

But I must maintain a high level of eye contact with myself in a mirror while I work on my moves, because I am all about my intense connection with me when I am imaginary dancing.

And I always know that I am on fire.

And while we’re on the subject of dancing and all that it involves, there is always the behind the scenes of her video.

I love you. I totally and completely love you. I’m an imaginary dancer too. This weekend it was to um… INXS and the Beatles ‘Get Back’. Now I have something new to work on…. this is advanced. This is going to take some time. I wish we could practice together. awwwwww shit!

Well I dance like Elaine from Seinfeld, so you are WAY ahead of me. Is the key to moving up from Elaine dancing to Imaginary Dancing practice? If I practiced enough would I be able to dance in front of other people (besides my 4 year old)?

Good post!

Haha, well, thank you for forcing me to watch that video, normally I can’t stand watching long-legged women dancing around in high heels, but today I knew it was for a good cause
Look at you and your dancing! I don’t think I have any imaginary dancer friends… or if I do they are keeping it secret. Or wait, my friend Alan does dance for me and my son at the breakfast table when he stays over… though he is really no Beyonce.

And they WERE checking you out. And 6-year-old spazz dancing is making a comeback - this is going to be a busy season for you, I’m sure of it.
