I am normally a happy person, but this thought made me feel quite the opposite. I have not felt the urge to jump out for joy or yell out in excitement about a monumental occurrence in my life. Think about the last time you were truly excited? A moment that compelled you stand up and dance around and hug the first person you saw. If you can’t remember, than you and I ...

We are trying to find out some of the most unique stories, shows and events that people have been through or witnessed. What's coming I'm currently working on a dance video to post on the site. Many hours have been spent on research, originality, sweat & tears, and legal proceedings - mainly as a result of 'dance-move' patents! ~ D. Kidney (just want to break-it-down!)
