"Soul Man"


Who says dance is only for girls??? Here is my harmonica playing, foot clogging, hip hop loving, soul man. This is Luke's second year of dance and after being teased a little bit by a few of his friends I didn't know if he would do it again. However, once they see the boys perform they realize that they don't look so girly after all, ha ha. In fact, a few of them have said that they want to join as well! This year the boys did a clogging number to the Blues Brothers, "Soul Man." They competed in Seattle and got 2nd overall! Before the show, we gave him the usual - Pep (Bribery) Talk and crossed our fingers that he would show some personality. So, along with encouragement from their teachers and the directors, the boys came out and had a great time! Regardless of where they place, to see them have so much fun on stage is the payoff! So, what did my dancing boy want as a (Bribe) gift? A Gun, of course! A toy, nerf gun but, a gun, nonetheless! Troy wanted me to mention that.




This was their Hip Hop number. I don't know if you can tell but, they have skeleton's painted on their sweatshirts. The dance company is always so creative in their costumes.
