Final stretch before PMT breaking performance this weekend!
So my little group of b-boys and b-girls are getting into the final preparations before another breaking performance at PMT Studios this Friday and Sunday. As usual we are doing everything in the last second, having barely worked out the choreography and blocking and the music still not finished mixing. At the very least I…
Swing that PhD Thesis! (video)
Some crazy outfit called Gonzo Labs is challenging PhD candidates around the country to post dance videos of themselves demonstrating what their thesis is about. I don’t even understand most of what these theses are about. But I love that some folks are doing bad ass lindy hop to demonstrate the principles these science doctoral…

Geekcrush #37: DJ Bubblyfish
Last night at the Machinima Festival after-party at Eyebeam labs we were treated to the unique 8-bit DJ stylings of Ms. Haeyoung Kim, better known as Bubblyfish. I’ve seen Bubblyfish a couple of times before and have been blown away by her retro gaming-influenced electronica. Bubblyfish’s performances combine wonderfully retro imagery from old 8-bit games…
One zombie’s view of the NYC Halloween Parade
Still recovering from an amazing night at the Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village. I was part of an army of 200 or so zombies performing the dance scene from "Thriller" organized by the nice folks at ThrillerNYC. It’s definitely the best time I’ve ever had at the parade, and one of best dance experiences in…
Dancing Thriller in the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade
Omigawd, what an incredible time I had performing the "Thriller" dance in the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade tonight! Nothing can compare to being with 200 other zombie dancers, and at least five Michael Jackson impersonators, doing the Thriller dance for thousands of screaming onlookers. Here’s a brief clip of our performance taken by my buddy…
