Dance Spotlight: Dinna Yap

Dinna Yap was featured in our latest video post, teaching a hip-hop class at Jeannette Neil Dance Studio.  Yap's hot hip-hop moves come from her many years of dance experience.  A Chicago native, Yap's first big time  break was when she auditioned for and made the Chicago Bulls dance team.  As A Love a Bull, Yap performed infront of arenas full of fans and made many public appearances.  After her time in Chicago Yap came to the Boston area for another big gig.  After a chance audition, Yap became a member of the New England Patriots Cheerleaders and worked her way up to captain and later choreographer.  While cheering for the Patriots Yap traveled to a Super Bowl, and visited numerous countries on world tour performance trips.  As if this wasn't enough experience, Yap is also a member of Static Noyze.  With all of her experience you can be sure her classes are the hit classes in the city, be sure to catch her next one!

Only the Young Survive

Okay so for those of you who haven't heard the latest star to get the boot on 'DWTS' was Florence Henderson.  After watching Monday night's dancing I definitely re-thought my position on Kyle and realized that yes, it was certainly time for Florence to go home.  I will say this though...god bless the woman for being in such great shape and being able to move the way she did at such an old age...I truly wish to have the same fortune! What did you guys think of the performances this week? I have to say I enjoyed Kyle's a whole lot more than the judges, and Bristol the pistol let me down.  I say the two best go to Brandy and Kurt.  Partially because I liked their TV themes the best, and I have to say they brought it way more than my girl Audrina.  Can't wait for next week!

Sign Me Up!

If you haven't caught one of Dinna Yap's classes at Jeannette Neil Dance Studio yet, check out what you're missing.  After watching this video I'm sure you'll want to sign up for her next class.  I told you guys she could shake it! While finding this video, we found out a little bit more about Miss Yap, check back later to see just what dance experience she has on her resume! We promise you won't be disapointed.  Until then take a look at her with some of her students breaking it down...

No More Situation

If you can't go out and dance tonight do the next best thing, watch 'Dancing With the Stars'  Last week it was no suprise that we said so long to the Shore's Situation.  Even with crazy lifts and those famous abs finally exposed, the Situation and his partner Karina Smirnoff got a total score of 12 points from the judges.  The Situation's head might have shrunk a little after the judges called his dancing a terrible mess, and told him he was consistently bad! Guess he should stick to his GTL routine instead of performing dance routines.  Week 5 dances begin tonight at 8pm on ABC.....check it out and make sure vote for my fav girl Audrina!  The remaining dancers perform tonight and the results can be seen tomorrow night at 9pm.  Let us know who you think kills it tonight and who should be sent home! I'm going with Audrina for the high score (if she can figure out how to point her feet!!!!!) and Kyle from the Disney Channel goes home.

Here's one last look at the Situation's "Terrible Mess"....
