Daniel and Maureen’s First Dance Video — It’s kind of… oh, you decide.

Humor Post #92 from the world’s Crankiest Curmudgeon’s Middle School Blog (and probably the awesomest YA blog too) –

Hello out there, all you dance lovers. Okay, if you’re not dance lovers, maybe you like to look at strange videos. In either case, I’m here to announce a dance video that’s kind of bad and funny at the same time. See, Daniel (the guy who runs Freaky Dude Books) thinks he can dance. He can’t, but I try to humor him when he shows me his new moves. You know how embarrassing it is to see your parents dance? Well, that’s how it is for me watching Daniel.

Anyway, he and Maureen have posted their first West Coast Swing dance video. You can find it here. Daniel says they’re the ONLY author/illustrator dance couple there is so it doesn’t matter if he’s not that good. He says it’s like watching a dog dance. “You don’t criticize it for its style,” he says. Yeah, I guess that’s true, but I have to say that the dog might be the better dancer.

I had a hard time believing there weren’t any other couples like that so he challenged me to find any others. So if you’re a couple of dancers who write and illustrate together, please let me know cause I don’t want to spend any time trying to find any. But I’d sure like to prove him wrong. (It’s always fun to prove an adult wrong.)

So check it out and let me know what you think. Maybe I have this all wrong and he’s the new Chris Brown and she’s the new Beyonce. Yeah, and my raps are better than Andre 3000’s.
