Musical Pipe Dream: It’s 1996 and I’m wearing a parachute track suit, dark lipstick, and I have green bands on my braces. My hair is shoulder length, straightened, and split down the middle. I creep out into the middle of a dance floor with a chameleon step: forward, back, forward, back. Nobody else is dancing and I hear someone yell, “Uhmm, NO!” My eyes widen, my face gets serious, and I nod, YES.

Song of the Day: Passin’ Me By by The Pharcyde

Musical Pipe Dream: Another person and I are dancing a duet together. We start off on opposite sides of the stage, out of sight. When the music starts, we both hop out with our hands at our sides. For the next eight count we transition into a heel tap move with our arms and head hanging back. We get into a sitting position with me in front and we start doing the motions of paddling down a river.
