| Take a ride through
each decade with the music that defined each decade. In the 50's,
there was Jerry Lee Lewis who started the rock and roll craze. Then
came the 1960's where motown and the Beatles took music to another level.
Disco became the craze in the 1970's. Everybody was listening to
artists like Donna Summer, KC and the Sunshine Band, and theVillage People.
The 80's rolled around, and Michael Jackson and Madonna dominated the radio
airwaves. Finally, the current generations music consists of pop and latin
music. Artists such as Ricky Martin, NSYNC, and Britney Spears can
be heard on the radio each day. *This is me performing YMCA I had go out into the crowd andget them involved* |

Dancing Involved:
| The 50's and 60's were
basic steps, and this two sections had more props to make it more showy.
Although, both of these sections did have some partner dancing involved.
The 70's was disco. The 80's was the most technical section
because it involved layouts and double turns. The most current or 1990's
section involved mostly hip-hop and some latin style. I was given free
reign to freestyle on my solo Larger Than Life. |

A night show was also
performed at this Six Flags. It was called the Silver Season Celebration
(25 yrs),and it involved another travel from the 1970's-1990's. It
only involved dancing, but again the 70's was all disco, the 80's was all
of that happy-go-lucky Roger Rabbitt stuff, and the 90's was all hip-hop.
We would generally perform 5 of the American Rock Shows and 1 of
the night show. So, I can sing and dance all day long for 6 days
a week. I have never tracked a solo, and I never will. *Beatles Section Photo* |
