Hey, how do you keep over a thousand people waiting outside in the hot sun from killing each other (or possibly trying to pick up a stanchion and swing it at another person who cut in line, in the process knocking numerous people in the head and stepping on one older woman’s foot….of course a totally made up story here…..), anyways, it’s easy. Start a United States Dance Crew! Buy a pair of speakers from Wal-Mart, make a playlist full of classics like Thriller, Baby by Justin Bieber, Soldier Boy, and Single Ladies, put together carefully constructed choreographed dances full of booty poppin’, twist, turn, shake it girrrrl fun, and BAM! You’ve got a thousand very happy Chinese people smiling and taking your picture, and for a few short minutes…..
You feel like a total rock star.
So yep, this is the latest USAP innovations, we might hit the big screen, we’ve been taking some calls, talking to managers, I quit my day job. Nah, but it certainly has been shaking up the queue line, man, my absolute favorite is when we get the kids in the crowd involved. Today there was the absolute quintessential adorable little Chinese girl, probably about 2, who could dance like I’ve never seen, and I haven’t even gotten to how well she could sing the ABC’s. What talent. We all joined around her in the middle and (ironically) danced to Baby: “Like baby, baby, baby, ooooh, thought you’d always be mine” This may have been one of my best moments yet at the Pavilion, the whole crowd clapping in unison, and this little radiant Chinese girl waving her tiny fists, with us in a circle around her singing and clapping and dancing, I wanted to take her and show her and the crowd to all our critics and say: “ See, see how we’re making them smile? The U.S pavilion really isn’t so bad after all, don’t you think?”
Anyways, I wish I could stay and write more, but my roommate Becca and I are working night and day on some new routines ( currently “Single Ladies”), and we have some major choreographing to do. Sooooo, Peace!
