OK, so that's a lie. As my girlfriend can attest, I generally do anything in my power to avoid dancing. But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate it, especially since dancing and basketball are more connected than you might think.
For starters, there's the NCAA Tournament aka The Big Dance. There's the infamous Sam Cassell Testicle Dance (0:40 in this clip), Shaq at last year's all-star game and, of course, who could forget Mark Madsen celebrating at the Lakers' 2002 championship parade?
So yes, it's true that anyone can dance, but it takes some serious skills to dance well.
With that in mind, the Erie BayHawks announced today that dance team tryouts will be held Sunday, September 20, 5 pm at the Dance Vibe Studio, 2307 West 12th Street in Erie.
Interested dancers should submit a completed application, available at Dance Vibe, the BayHawks office or online at ErieBayHawks.com, plus a headshot photo and $25 registration fee.
But if you're more like me and prefer to watch as others do the dancing, here are a few YouTube dance clips to hold you over until the new BayHawks dance team debuts later this year:
- Evolution of Dance
Everyone's probably seen this clip by now, but it's a classic. And there's now a part two as well! - JK Wedding Entrance
Another popular FWD e-mail video showing the lighter side of marriage. - Napoleon Dynamite Dance
There's a good 2,000 or so people trying to replicate this unforgettable scene. - Beyonce
Need I say more? - ...and one for the ladies

Finally, for those who prefer their dances to be retro, here's some middle school teachers getting down as best they can (on a basketball court!)
