Precision accounts for many of the most exciting and enjoyable dances of today. Hey! Do You Wanna Dance? Yeah man! Like dancin’s always been one of the greatest kicks of all time. Ya can tell how a guy or gal’s feelin’ just by the way she dances. Take for an example, no, the kid that’s real hung on things. Now, He ain’t gonna dance like he got no cares— lie’s gonna look gloomy or like maybe he’s about a million light years way out gettin’ away from it all. It’s Sort of what my English teacher calls an “emotional catharsis.” And, boy, when ya feel wild, can ya ever let loose! Dancin’s creative like that. Lookin’ at a group’s dancin’ steps is like readin’ their minds and findin’ out all about their lives. Whadaya say about these characters? Do I wanna dance? Man, like you just know it! The excitement of the evening is worth all the preparation that went into it. 15 Many dances at Cooper give students a chance to “cut up” and reveal their true selves.
