Flashback: Solid Gold Dancers

GiggleSugar — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 02:00:00 -0800

Why don't dancers dressed like strippers do interpretive dance to contemporary music anymore? Why, why, why? (Gotta love the periodic explosions, too!)

Breakdancer Takes the Dance Literally

GiggleSugar — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 11:00:00 -0800

Dancing and breaking shit, that's what the name implies, right? This awesome gal gets so into her breakdance moves that she zones out and forgets she's in a tiny apartment filled with things that could get knocked over or broken. I give her a 10 for enthusiasm!

Webcam Girl: 1920s Edition

GiggleSugar — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:00:00 -0700

Wait 'til the fellas get an eyeful of those gams. Floozy.

Obama vs. McCain: The Danceoff!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 04:00:00 -0700

This video is so awesome, I weep in celebration of it! Forget all the negative rhetoric, name-calling, or Joe the mutha-effing Plumber shoutouts in this endless election year. There's only one way to settle this Obama vs. McCain thing. A duel? Nah. An old-fashioned danceoff — real man style. (Bonus: McCain's new campaign slogan, and Sarah Palin's surprise visit.) I am seriously wiping tears from my face as I type this . . .

Dances With 'Dozers

GiggleSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

A man. A bulldozer. The heartbreaking love they shared, told through the magic of dance.

Flashback: Crispin Glover Dances in Friday the 13th, Part IV

GiggleSugar — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 13:00:00 -0700

When I was looking this movie up on IMDB, I accidentally typed in "Part 14," which isn't far from the truth. (How many freaking Friday the 13th movies were made, exactly?!) I can't say I've seen part IV, but if it's as good as this dancing scene here with cute freak Crispin Glover, I may have to put it on my Netflix queue. I love me the freaks!

The Gong Show Without the Gong

GiggleSugar — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:00:00 -0700

What's a bored girl in her underwear with a webcam to do? Well, why not shake, wiggle, and roll for total strangers on YouTube? (After you're done picking your jaw up from the floor, click here if you want to see the Cora Corman faux Britney Spears character from Music and Lyrics perform it in the movie.)

Cute Alert: Dancing Nathaniel From Yo Gabba Gabba

GiggleSugar — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:00:00 -0700

I can see the future for little dancing Nathaniel here on the children's show Yo Gabba Gabba. And it's looking very, very punk rock.

Spaz Alert!

GiggleSugar — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0700

What the hell kind of dancing is this? It's like a bunch of mimes smoked some crack cocaine and decided to stage a Broadway show. Seriously, man. Watching that one dude walk backward on his head (just watch — I can't describe it) while that blonde woman did the chicken dance at hyper-speed gave me a contact high. (Pay special attention to 1:06, 1:48 and 2:03. But if you know what's good for you, you'll watch the whole damn thing. Trust me.) This is Paradise, all right!

Cute Alert: Dancing With the Dogs!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 07:00:00 -0700

We've shown you this woman dancing with her adorable dog before, but here's another video of her hoofin' it up on Good Morning America a few years ago to "You're the One That I Want" from the Grease soundtrack. (These two should be contestants on So You Think You Can Dance. You know — to mix things up a bit.)

So You Think You Can Dance: Church Edition

GiggleSugar — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 07:56:25 -0700

Heathen that I am, I do have some experience in the past with church. I can't say I ever remember there being dancing and singing extravaganzas like the one "Renewed Mind" gives us here. In a contest of singing, Son Seed would win hands down. In a contest of dancing? "Renewed Mind" knocks it out of the ballpark. Watch the dude especially towards the end. I am speechless.

Raccoon House Party!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 07:00:00 -0700

All work (i.e. destroying people's houses and attacking their pets) and no play makes Rocky Raccoon a dull boy. (Also, am I seeing things or are those raccoons in the middle making out?)

Thanks, Neatorama!

An Oldie But Goodie...

GiggleSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 16:00:00 -0700

This awesome cop takes a break from nabbing bad guys to pick up a snack — and do a little dance. We all have to let loose sometime. And he does a mean robot!

More Dance Party With Mary-Kate and Ashley

GiggleSugar — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Just don't ask me to identify which is which. (On a side note, this appears to be their Madonna-dancing-in-"Lucky Star" phase.) Click here to watch Ashley doing the Hustle.

WTF?!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 07:00:00 -0700

In this video, a younger Ashley Olsen is clad in disco-wear while dancing to disco Muzak. I always wondered how the Olsens made their millions. Improbably, you're lookin' at part of it. It is strangely mesmerizing, though. I can't stop watching . . .

Baby Is Feelin' the Groove

GiggleSugar — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 07:00:00 -0700

He starts off monotonous, but once he gets going this kid really lets loose. He knows the first rule of showmanship: don't give 'em all you got in the beginning. Build up some suspense . . .

Been Caught Dancing

GiggleSugar — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 04:00:00 -0700

If this is what Big Brother is capturing with all those damn surveillance cameras everywhere, I'm all for it.

The Un-Bear-Able Grooviness of Being

GiggleSugar — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Throw some Lucite heels on this dude and he's good to go. He's working that tree like a pro workin' a pole at Scores! We've posted this amazing dancing bear before, but with a different soundtrack. It appears that any genre of music works with these bold moves. What a versatile bear . . .

Ruh Roh!

GiggleSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 13:00:00 -0700

These two are practicing some kind of swing dance move when it takes a turn for the worse. He's supposed to flip her by grabbing her hands, but as she does, she kicks him somewhere (I still can't figure out where even after watching it a few times), and then he drops her flat on her back. Yeowtch.

Mullet Man Has Got the Moves

GiggleSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:00:46 -0700

Forget dancing like no one's looking. This guy knows everyone's looking, and he's gonna dance his mulleted heart out anyway. I find his enthusiasm downright mesmerizing. Who knew a marching band could inspire such sweet moves? (Thanks, Stupid Videos!)

Entire Office Does the Electric Slide Dance

GiggleSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:00:00 -0700

I've posted this before, but it puts a smile on my face every time. I don't know who these people are, but they're super-cool, and they have a ring leader. She's leading them all in the Electric Slide. Some people follow decently, others try their best, and the shy just stand back and watch. I am going to try to get the folks at the Sugar HQ here to do this soon, so stay tuned!

Pole-Dancing Grandma

GiggleSugar — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 03:00:00 -0700

I have so many questions. Where are these people? It'd be weird enough if there were a club outfitted with poles for every dancer on the dance floor, but this appears to be a reception of some kind. Like a wedding reception. But with pole-dancing? I suppose it all worked out in the end, though. That cute lady looked like she needed something to hold onto!

Learn How to Dance Good With Alphonso

GiggleSugar — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:00:00 -0700

With a name like Alphonso, the dancing's gotta be good. I love me a man with creepy facial hair and a masterful command of the hip thrust. Oh, Alphonso, will you be my private dancer? A dancer for money? Will you do what I want you to do?

Amazing Break Dancers Will Give You the Chills

GiggleSugar — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Just when I start thinking break-dancing is totally cornball, I see an act like this that blows me away. These guys are so good I got the chills! Wooooot!

Thanks, College Humor!

Ziggy the Dancing Street Cleaner

GiggleSugar — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 01:00:00 -0700

I love this guy. A former circus juggler from Poland, the 47-year-old Ziggy moved to London and got a job as a street cleaner. Not one to feel bummed out by this job, Ziggy puts a little twist on "whistling while you work" by wearing his iPod and dancing as he picks up rubbish. He just proves that anything worth doing is worth doin' in style. Go Ziggy!

She's Putting the "Flash" Back in Flashdance

GiggleSugar — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:00:00 -0700

Looks like someone had ~~one~~ 10 too many. When they say, "dance like no one's watching," I don't think that means you should flash your boobies and your butt though your see-through, pantyless leggings. Just sayin'. . .

Thanks, eBaum's World!

Someone Reeeeally Loves the Library

GiggleSugar — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 07:00:00 -0700

What's not to like? You can surf the Internet, check out books for free, stare at other patrons. . .and do a little zombie dance.

Lil Demon the Tiny Dancer

GiggleSugar — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Although this little kid appears to be in his PJs, he's not messing around ~~on the dance floor~~ on the living room carpet. He makes it look so easy. . .

Dancing with the Cons!

GiggleSugar — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Forget arts and crafts (too many potential weapons). And therapy gets old. So how does one keep a bunch of prisoners occupied without the possibility of a riot breaking out? Well, teach them how dance together! I guess these guys do a routine a month. (Click here to see them practicing their Thriller dance.) It's like Fame — only in a maximum security prison in the Philippines.

Bobby Conn Wants to Entertain You

GiggleSugar — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:00:00 -0700

At first I was ready to laugh at this guy, and if you look at his awful wig too long, you will. But while you laugh, perhaps you will fall madly in love with his Beck-meets-David Bowie goofball intensity as I did. (Or not.)

Thanks, eBaum's World!

Star Wars Meets Flashdance

GiggleSugar — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:10:00 -0700

Remember the Mandalorian warriors from Star Wars? Someone's created a fabulous stop-gap animation of one doing the famous Flashdance dance Jennifer Beales made popular. I'm impressed with a Mandalorian who's in touch with his feminine side . . .

"My Cell Phone's Ringing" Dance

GiggleSugar — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:00:00 -0700

I can't remember the last time my phone rang and I felt like busting out into a dance in celebration. I will practice this little jig in the event my life gets interesting enough to warrant it. A girl can dream, can't she?

Wedding Break Dance

GiggleSugar — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Wow, this is epic. I've seen performances at the VMAs not as coordinated as this one! Any woman who can shake her booty in a stiff, strapless wedding dress gets bonus points in my book. (And I love her geeky hubby giving it all he's got.) Now that gay people can get married in California, maybe straight folks feel they gotta kick their nuptials up a notch! Is a "So You Think You Can Do a Funky Wedding Dance?" competition on television far behind?

Thanks, Comedy.com!

Um...Awesome?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 09:00:00 -0700

This ad for Audition Dance Online might be the best commercial ever. That dude is making my dance moves look, in retrospect, lame and anemic. I don't really know exactly what the heck ADO is, but I know I'll be busting out this pelvis thrust move in the clubs the next time I'm out. Yee ha!

If a Bear Dances in the Forest...

GiggleSugar — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 07:00:00 -0700

And no one's there to film it, did it really happen? Luckily, this quasi-philosophical question need not be asked, because someone DID film it! They say that the closer in proximity to humans wild animals get, the less they fear us. Who knew they'd start partying with us, too?

Thanks for the send, There Will Be Bud!

Flashback: Amazing '80s Dancer

GiggleSugar — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:00:00 -0700

This guy from the Jonzun Crew must not have a skeleton, or maybe he's part jellyfish, because I don't know how he makes these moves! Most of us dance like Elaine compared to him.

Thanks, eBaum's World!

So Granny Thinks She Can Dance

GiggleSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 18:45:40 -0700

And you know what? Granny can dance! The whole sitch seems dubious at first: the turtleneck, the broach, the knitted couch cover, the seizure (?). But that's just Granny's warm-up before kicking mad ass on the living room floor — and only during the commercial breaks, you hear? Judge Judy requires our undivided attention. (Thanks, College Humor!)

It's Gettin' Hot in The Office!

GiggleSugar — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 01:00:00 -0700

It really is all about the soundtrack. Our friends at The Office don't often have a chance to get their freak on. Throw a little Nelly in, though, and the corporate starch softens up a bit . . .

This Crazy Dancer Is Made of Rubber

GiggleSugar — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:00:00 -0700

Twenty-year-old dancer Robert Muraine is not exactly engaging in partner-friendly dancing. (Unless his partner was Bai "Ding a" Ling.) This contestant on So You Think You Can Dance? is entertaining, no doubt, but he's kinda freaking me out. It's like someone crossed Jerry Lewis from The Nutty Professor with a jellyfish. Is this the future of dance?!

Flashback: Technotronic's Pump Up the Jam

GiggleSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 01:00:00 -0700

If they're bringing back fug '80s fashions, why can't they bring back the good stuff, like the dance music? As cheese-tastic as this following song and video are, I dare you not to tap your toes or at least want to "pump up the jam" yourself. Happy Monday!

Six Months of Dancing in Six Minutes

GiggleSugar — Sat, 24 May 2008 01:00:00 -0700

This dude is adorable. He crams six months of his funkalicious dancing into a six-minute video. I didn't think I could get through the whole thing, but it's too fun not to watch! I love me a man who can dance, who has a sense of humor, and who loves cats! Oh, dream man, where are you?

Flashback: Heather Parisi Is Disco Bambina

GiggleSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 07:00:00 -0700

If you've ever wondered why Italian pop stars aren't in American top 10 charts, you might want to take a look at Heather Parisi, an '80s singer I stumbled upon — initially in bewilderment, and finally with great satisfaction — while doin' my job. Granted, she might be a children's entertainer, but still. . . I'll give her one thing, though, she's rockin' the spandex! As a co-worker at the Sugar headquarters aptly put it, "It's sooo Xanadu!"

So You Think You Can Disco Dance?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Well, that is because you have not seen Sven and Helga! (That's what I like to call them anyway.) We posted this vid a long time ago, but it seems that Diesel jazzed it up to enhance its fabulosity and to shill some sneakers. Sven and Helga so thoughtfully walk you through some basic disco moves, my favorite being the perpetual pelvic thrust. And when their friends get up and the whole room's dancing, you can't help but get into the "disco feeling" yourself.

Flight of the Conchords Dudes Know What the Ladies Want

GiggleSugar — Tue, 20 May 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Even with a '70s porn 'stache, Jemaine rocks my world. (Sorry, Bret!) Here the sexy boys prove that even on roller skates, they define hotness. Mreow!

Holy Blades of Glory!

GiggleSugar — Mon, 19 May 2008 14:00:00 -0700

Russian gold medalist Evgeni Plushenko has lost his ever-lovin' mind. We found a priceless video of him warming up the Olympic crowd with his figure-skating routine to Tom Jones's "Sex Bomb," complete with foam muscles and a gold bikini bottom. Gyrating, mugging, and generally making a fool out of himself, Evgeni proves that when retires his skates, Chippendale's will welcome him with open arms. This is truly cheese-tastic.

Headbanging Bird

GiggleSugar — Fri, 16 May 2008 03:59:00 -0700

For birds about to rock, we salute you! This cockatoo has got the moves down!

Paul Rudd Busts a Few Moves

GiggleSugar — Fri, 16 May 2008 03:00:00 -0700

If you've never heard of the film I Could Never Be Your Woman, you're in good company. I don't know if it's worth watching in full, but I sure enjoyed this clip of Paul Rudd showing off for his date, Michelle Pfeiffer. He moves through virtually every corny dance that ever existed, from the two-step to some weird Broadway shuffle. I love a man who can dance, but I really love a man who doesn't mind making a fool out of himself. (Next to Mark Ruffalo, is there any cuter guy in Hollywood?)

Cute Alert: Jalen the 6-Year-Old Breakdancer

GiggleSugar — Sat, 03 May 2008 01:00:00 -0700

This adorable little kid sure knows what's what! Just as you're getting bowled over by how cute he is (he has a theory on what a "fresh" outfit is), he begins dancing. OMG!

Cute Alert: Kittens Dance in Unison

GiggleSugar — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:00:00 -0700

These kitties must be looking at a laser or something, because their ability to bob their heads in sync is uncanny! I have two favorites, though. The kitten lying down who can't be bothered to even sit up (but whose head is bobbing, nevertheless), and the kitten in the front who puts its little paw/arm around the other kitty's shoulder. (Swoon!) As geeksugar remarked, "This video was made for rewatching!"

Thanks, Cute Overload!

Otter Mistakes the Zoo for Les Deux

GiggleSugar — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 03:00:00 -0700

I've posted this little dancing queen before, but it's imperative you watch if you missed it the first time. It must be Friday night at the zoo, because Hottie McOtterson here is shakin' it so hard I'm afraid he'll break it! Total silliness. (Outkast should make this part of their official video for the song!)
