candle, rocky, spinach, yellowMake up a new dance move.
We Have A Winner!!! 03/03/10
1) Partners (boy and girl) face each other.Winner: JazzBumpa
2) Each places hands palm together overhead, making the shape of a candle flame.
3) They sway from side to side.
4) They then do-si-do, promenade right, sashay left, then swing right, because that's about as spinachy as anything else could be.
5) The boy suddenly remembers he's eskeered of girls and runs from the dance floor in total embarrassment.
6) The girl shrugs and goes to talk with her friends. But not about boys. They're really not very interesting.
Reason: I'm not sure how new this dance move is - I remember doing it years ago. But it still made me laugh for the honesty of it.

(To the tune of Yankee Doodle)
Stand up straight and stand up tall
Hands above your head
Hands together like a flame
You are a candle, Fred!
Bring your thumbs to your temples
Spread your fingers wide
Oops that's Bullwinkle instead
Rocky's a squirrel that flies!
Popeye eats his spinach now
Chew it up real goo-ood
Spinach makes you big and tall
Shake your head and chew your food!
Finally you spread your arms
Big and wide and full
Shine like the sun, that yellow ball
And bring light to us all!
candle, rocky, spinach, yellow
Cue music!
tap your toes, tap your toes.
throw your hands in the air and wiggle them: be like a candle. Spread your arms wide, spread your bright yellow light in all directions.
Pump your arms, fists in the air, like Popeye after eating his spinach.
Shake, shake, shake your booty,
roll on the balls of your feet, side side side, like you're walking on a rocky beach.
Put it all together now!
"Breaking into the world of dance meant for rocky finances. There were times when Laura Heifter couldn't afford her electric bill and lived by candle light in the evenings. But she weathered the storm and landed enough dancing roles to make a good living. Entering her late 20s, she knew she needed to start considering a new career. Not too many agencies wanted to hire dancers who were in their 30s. They were always looking at the next young thing that walked through their door. Laura's experience counted little against those young able bodies.
Then there was the performance that changed the dancing community forever. Laura was a dancing banana in a child's production of "I'm Healthy, Eat Me!" sponsored by her aunt's dental practice when someone knocked on the door of her dressing closet. "Laura, the apple and grapes backed out. We need you to go on in 3 minutes. Be ready!" the voice said.
Laura sat her fresh spinach salad down and grabbed for the bright yellow handmade leotard. She put it on quickly and only then realized two problems: It was 10 sizes too big, fitting her more like a bag and there were no arm or head holes. "All well," she said. "The show must go on!" She looked through the relatively sheer material and headed to the stage. Entering in her costume, she tripped, summersaulting across the stage like a tumbleweed, her body masked by the enormity of the leotard. What the audience witnessed was an important inspirational moment.
Laura Heifter dramatically changed the way people performed dance. That single accidental dance move launched her incredibly successful and meaningful career. She worked diligently and developed Contemporary Dance, an entirely new genre of dance. She is the owner of Unique Costumes, the largest grossing dance clothing store in the world. And she is a highly praised and respected choreographer. It is with great honor that I award this year's Dancing Development Oscar to Laura Heifter!"
The children gathered round
Their favourite uncle,
Who had just returned
From the jungle.
“Listen closely now…
Jane! Snap outta yer trance!
I’m here to teach ya
A secret new dance!”
The kids oohed and aahed
And begged for him to begin;
He giggled maniacally –
Not a good omen!
“The first step is so simple:
Place steamed spinach on yer head.
Now grab a few candles
And go jump on yer bed!
“But on yer way don’t forget
To get some Rocky Road –
It’s the only ice cream
That suits the dance of toads!”
Parents exchanged glances
As their kids raced inside;
They decided quite quickly
That the man had lost his mind.
So now that favoured uncle
Has found himself a new home,
Where the walls are nicely padded
In a calming yellow tone.

The Skunk (the newest dance craze for very drunk partiers)
Yellow costumes are the rage! Dance in pairs!
First you run like you're Rocky on the stairs!
Shake your booty like it's hot
As a candle--shake a lot!
Then shout, "Spinach!!!" Growl as if you're bears!
