Gangs dont seem so scary nowadays..

     Maybe Im getting old but when I was growing up gangs were gangs.  Guys in wife beaters representin' their streets, their colors, their whatever.  You generally steered clear of them.  They were in the news for violence and other crimes that were frightening to think about.  In this, Hollywood used these happenings as baselines to create movies.  Boyz N the Hood, Menace II Society, Colors and other various type films that painted the picture of street violence and how it effected communities and their youth.  Nowadays.. You better put your son or daughter in dance class at an early age if you want them to survive the mean streets of whatever..



Step up!!

I mean seriously??  Can you imagine running into this gang in an alley and all of a sudden watching this well choreographed display of STOMP going on in front of you?  Do you hand them your purse or give them a dollar in the bucket that should be around there somewhere?  WTF?



Usually when I was a kid if you saw a bunch of people in a circle Oooooooo'ing and Ahhhhhhhh'ing it was cause a couple of thugs were going at it..  Now its like "Yo!! Did you see homeboy's sweet pivet step step pivot, leap, backflip then fall into hip hop pose??!!  That was off the chain!"  Oh it gets better..  Lets not stop at dancing.



Now it gets rough son!  Betcha we sing better than ya'll!  BRING IT!  Now kids are meeting at abandoned YMCA Pool rec centers to get their SING ON!  And if you dont Harmonize dont come at all!


Im pretty happy I grew up when I did because I can't dance worth a damn and when it comes to singing, Im only up to it when ive had plenty of liquid courage and its karoake night at the local bar..  Other than that, I guess I wont be getting jumped in.  Which sparks the question, how do you get 'IN' to the sing a long gang or the moonwalk kids?  Do you stand within a circle and sing and have an American Idol type judge set up? 

Next there will be comedy gangs who spit bad jokes at eachother.. Math gangs who throw out ridiculous equations at one another..  Oh the humanity!

Just so the 2012 kids know.. We were in Dance Gangs way before you were a sparkle in your dads eyes!



TKO crew!!!!

Later, I gotta go save the local youth community center by organizing a dance festival..

Dueces!
