para-para dancing - 11-25-2008, 03:49 AM

i was introduced to para-para by watching "super gals".i mean i hate dancing.back during my punkrock days,i had a t-shirt that said "real men don't dance".but there's something about para-para i like...a friend of mine that goes to japan alot said that some of the dance clubs are so small that there's no room for foot work.so they had to invent a style of dance where most of the movement is from the waist up.what do you think?..

At first I didn't thought it would be for real, i mean, about dancing para para at clubs (in clubs?) but there are some clubs at least when people use to do it and i found very amusing ^__^

On youtube you can find lots of videos where you can learn the routines ^^it's really tired but it's fun ^^

That video ivi0nk3y posted reminds me of when we are waiting to start salsa classes and some of us instinctively start doing belly dance moves to the music. Totally not planned, but the movement fits mood sometimes and your body just takes over.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
