Just Dance!



Most of you have seen this T-Mobile video, but it's the perfect video for today's celebrations!

Jamie Ridler's 4th Annual Shyne Like a Virtual Star Dance Party is here!

And I'm dancing baby! Dancing like there is no tomorrow. I put my favorite tunes on this morning and danced for 15 minutes! In my pajamas and without a care in the world. 5:30 am? So? I am wired and ready to greet the whole world.

I'm getting all my classes to dance for 5 minutes today! (Total 15)

To This!



There is nothing like music and dancing to fill me with joy. No matter how sad, or depressed, or tired or defeated I feel, my feet move, my hips sway, and my booty shakes. Before I know it there is a huge smile on my face.

Dance with us? Come on! You know you wanna! You really wanna! :)

Oh! And the wonderful Arty EM will be interviewing me on Monday on Blogtalk Radio! I will be posting the time here and on Twitter. Whoop! :)

I see you dancing :)

yep, music is pretty much the cure for the doldrums- if only i remember! it amazes me how many visual artists are so moved by music. when i'm at a live performance i sometimes wish i could paint the feelings that move through me.....it would be incredible to be able to reach & move people in that way.... have fun doing the happy happy weekend dance! and congrats

Tom said...

Oh girl get your groove on! LOL
Yes i can picture you dancing to the beat!!!

And well, hurrah for your interview...that is fabulous!
I cannot wait to listen!

Wooohooo ! It's time to BoooooGeeeee !

(My yellow lab Chica loves to boogie too ! As soon as she hears the tunes start she runs into the room, wiggling her butt like "Mrs. Ha-wiggins" !

Happy Dancing Friday ! Please share your students reactions ! Wish I could be a fly on the wall ! A dancing fly of course ! ;-)

Shell said...

Get Down On it is one of those classic jams which never go out of style!! I look forward to your interview, I'll be listening. Have a great weekend, Genie

Beverley Baird said...

I love dancing too - just don't seem to do much of it lately. Thanks for reminding me just how much fun and joy there is in just letting go and dancing. I am moving to Kool and the Gang as I type.
That's a good idea about taking a dance break with the class.
Will be anxious to hear your interview as well.
Bev

Allison said...

I *LOVE* Kool & the Gang. Whew, they are invited to my dance party every day of the week :]

Kara aka Mother Henna said...

Hey Genie...
Well losing my computer and 15 years of work is the clincher for me. My 1000 faces pieces are in tatters, so I'm officially out of the Madame Zolda game till I can rebuild. If that helps in any way toward the questions you were asking yourself already about Ola hiatus, etc... Very sorry...thx for understanding!
miracles,
k-

Jamie said...

I love listening to music daily but I don't dance as often as I should...thank you so much for this wonderful reminder, Genie!

intothedawn said...

Tee Hee! I would love to see the look on your students faces when you told 'em they had to dance!

I'm dancing tomorrow, but it'll be Maypole dancing, does that count?

Congrats on the blog radio interview!
