    Best part of a well done flash mob...Music goes off and every one scatters into the wind.
    "Danceing what you talking about? I was just going to the station, that was random, I swear."

    I actually love every type of hardshoe dancing, in Mexico we have more than 32 types of hardshoe dances each one from every state and county that has a lot of dances acording to region and variations of music styles. Irish Dancing is one of my passions and I like the fact that it has caused such an important impact on the world since Riverdance made its first appearence on the Eurovision Song Contest as an Interval Act. Well Done to all Irish Dancers in the World from every country
