Yeah, He Can Shake It!!!!

It's been a long while since i've written on my blog. I've often thought about what i need to post on here, but just haven't gotten around to it. I think it's funny that this is the post that i felt had to be shared with the world.

I went dancing the other night for the first time in what seems like a really long time. In the midst of having fun and letting myself start to loosen up and dance, a certain skilled dancer comes to mind time and again.

"The Carlton Dance" should be a regular tool in any dancer's repertoire. While most are familiar with the hilarity of the dancing of Carlton Banks, played by Alonso Ribeiro, on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, not everyone is aware of his dancing expertise.

Here's a compilation of "The Carlton Dance"


For the ill-informed, Carlton loves the singer Tom Jones, who's song "It's Not Unusual" was Carlton's song of choice. I'd like to point out here that Tom Jones is Welsh. Tom Jones has an incredible voice and was obviously really hot when he was young.



I'm half Welsh, which, by default, means my voice is pretty good and i'm kinda hot.

While being the originator of "The Carlton Dance" is incredible in and of itself, I'd like to point out that 'Carlton' is a much better dancer than that. Alonso Ribeiro was a star dancer as a child, appearing on commercials, TV specials, and more. I love it that his dorky character could move like this. I could seriously watch these clips all day, laughing all the while.

And you know i can dance like that.
