Duster Proposes a Proposition

[pkwallstaple]

I know I'm normally just the band teacher, but I wondered if anyone here might be interested in a special class on "breakdancing."

If there were enough interest, I think I might be able to do a beginner's introduction to breaking, just to teach people some of the basic downrock and power move forms.

It would help if you have some gymnastics experience, but anyone with good upper body strength can pick it up. It's a lot of fun and a good workout.

If somebody can show me how to post a video... or record a video... with one of these computers, I could post a video of me breaking.

[EDIT, after Kuma shows Duster how to upload a video of himself to the school's intertubes]:
This is totally a video of Duster.

Oh, good. As long as you can keep to the beat then you should be fine.

[monotreme_101]

Keeping the beat is something I can definitely bring to the table. Sometimes literally.

[As in dancing on tables.]

Are we allowed to wear speedos?

[pkwallstaple]

... why would you want to wear a speedo to break in?

[monotreme_101]

It's tradition.

[pkwallstaple]

I'd just worry about everything being held in place.

Because once you get into 6-step and you know how to do it well, you're swinging your legs around pretty quickly, especially with windmills. And a lot of the more advanced moves require some body contortion.

I'd recommend pants, to be frank. To keep your stuff where you want it, and to keep your legs from getting too beat up for when you mess up a move and go skidding across the ground.

[monotreme_101]

Oh - I see.

[Well, he spent most of his time with noi pants to begin with. However, he'd play it Duster's way.]

Alright - fine - I'll wear some bike shorts. Those are kind of the long-pants version of speedos to begin with.

You have fur, right? You don't... I mean, it's sleek, right? You wouldn't have any problem with getting stuck to linoleum?

[monotreme_101]

Not in the slightest.

Why? Have you had bad experiences with linoleum and fur before?

[pkwallstaple]

No no, just. If your back were somehow... sticky or something... it would prevent you from doing any windmills at the upper level of breaking.

[monotreme_101]

.....sticky? Why would my back be sticky?

[pkwallstaple]

Spines?
