Cherry Ride Tips for Triumphant Living #2

[Ed note: The second in a series for helping improve your life, based on my own experiences.]

Guys: I would not presume to tell you how to dance, believe me. However, when you're "gettin' down with the clown" (as Classy would say) and using your arms, two things:

1. Unless being used for a specific reason - like pointing or jazz fingers* for example -- keep your fingers and hands either closed or in a semi-fist.
2. Unless you really know what you're doing, keeping elbows in/close to the body is always better.
   

* Btw, since we're on the subject, always resist the urge for jazz fingers. Always.

Ten Dance Moves I Wish I Could Do

In continuing my fledgling tradition of listing a bunch of useless facts about me and my life, I bring you 10 dance moves I wish I could roll:

1. The Robot
2. Cowboy Stomp
3. Samba
4. Layer Cake
5. Pop and Lock
6. The Helicopter (or as I would call it, the HELLA-copter, yo!)
7. The Chocolate Sundae
8. Cotton Eyed Joe*
9. Merengue
10. The Worm

[This is me and Krista, totally schooling all the other dance floor suckas at Automatic Slims, NYC January 2005.]

* OK I'm totally kidding about that one. I wouldn't be caught dead doing the C.E.J., no matter how many tequila shots I had.**

** OK fine. There was that one time. But that's only because I slammed those kamikaze shots in, like, five minutes and I hadn't eaten all day.
