Popping

Who watches 'So You Think You Can Dance?' Wait, don't answer that! I fear the answer. I haven't seen any episodes this year (is it even in-season?) but last year I watched it more than randomly. Mainly because of Robert Muraine.

I've seen him perform on TV again and also checked out some video coverage. You know, the first performance I ever saw, on that TV show, is still my favorite (of what I've seen.) It was the perfect combination of music and movement and, well... what can I say. It grabbed me. Unfortunately, watching the video online is less than stellar, but hopefully you get a feel for it:

This is a whole new thing for me:

I never knew this existed and I hope to see more of Mr. Muraine, Mr. Fantastic, and whatever else he invents for and of himself.

Addendum 1-29-09:
I did find that Mr. Muraine was recently on the US team featured on Superstars of Dance and made a nice showing for himself and his country.
