Dancing with the Stars

I am not a dancer. I cannot dance, never been to any dance concerts, never had an interest in dance, definitely cannot critique dance.

Going to the Fall For Dance event at the City Center was probably the first time going to a dance event. Not going to lie, I didn’t want to go. I thought it was going to be pretty boring and well I guess I had the same attitude I did for the opera.

There is a first time for everything, and I guess my judgement has been wrong. I actually thought the first dance was pretty messy, as I had responded in Joshua’s post. I felt like I couldn’t follow everyone.

The second dance, the ballet, made me want to fall asleep. I’m sorry if that got anyone mad, but I guess I just didn’t really like ballet and that.

But wait.

It gets better.

Post intermission was when everything went wild. Absolutely loved Sebastian Ramirez and Honji Wang’s performance. I was totally not expecting that. It was actually a little ambiguous at first, the performance was so good between the two. A few of us even got to take pictures with the stars of the performance after the show (Check Chloe’s post out!).

The last performance was even more unexpected. It went from one man just doing his dance moves, to a group of people dancing with the guy at the end not conforming. I guess they were trying to get the point across, conformity is not always the case, the best (Could that be why the first one i felt was messy?) The best part was when they started to pull people up to dance in the front, and we all thought that the girl in the plaid shirt was our very own Sam! 🙂

In any case, the night turned out to be great and after pictures with Ramirez and Wang, it was Halal Guys! Like Erica said, go to the iconic 53rd and 6th, “it is all part of the New York experience!”
