Homework
If you haven't seen this yet, you should check it out. It is 20 minutes of fun dancing, sure to put a smile on your face. My favorite part comes at around 9:30, when the dancer slides across the floor. I love his musicality. This happens at the Montreal Swing Riot and is called the Invitational Battle Vintage vs Modern Street Dancers. Which brings together swing, jazz, soul, funk and break beats.
