Entry #349 – May 1, 2010: The Stoop (or check my dance moves)
"You got moves?" he asked me.
"Oh you don't want to see my moves, man."
The kids were all dancing and singing on the way out. I could't help but join in.
"My girl, my girl, my girl. Talking about my girl. My girl."
I do a little foot shuffle.
"Awwww yeah. I knew you had moves."
"If we had a piece of cardboard, I'd show you my REAL moves."
On a sunny day in Bed-Stuy, I remembered how much fun teen-agers can be. I couldn't stop singing and dancing for the rest of the day.
Shouts to Jam & Sallo for inviting me to The Stoop. Like them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/thestoop.
