The Boy wants to Cha Cha...
|
|
|
Rowdy and Suzanne were a big hit when they
performed their comedy exhibition routine choreographed to "The boy
wants to cha cha and the girl wants to twist."

What is there to be said....
...the photographs pretty much say it all.
Actually, the real story is quite harmless, so as to avoid any
roomers, or is that bloomers? Anyway, Team Twister had a get
together in Rowdy & Suzanne's room after the awards
ceremony. Rowdy was running a bit late so to pass the time
some team members (who shall remain unnamed to protect the guilty)
loaded up Rowdy's *ahem* undergarments with whatever came to
hand. Apple anyone?

Exhibition numbers...

This was a great number using blow up dolls for
partners
performed by the Tampa Bay Renegades.

The three photos directly above are from the two
exhibition routines performed by the Prairie Dogs.
These guys obviously have a lot of fun in their numbers.

 Team Twister
performed "Country Comes to Town," our
exhibition number on the first night of the convention. It
was the very first time the other teams had seen us dance.
|
 Just
before the the beginning of the dance we put a sound clip from Airplane
"It's a Twister! It's a Twister!" along with
"tornado noises" dubbed in from the movie
Twister. Gene (pictured to the right in the cow boxers)
volunteered to spin his way across the dance floor waving a Texas
flag and lip sync the "It's a Twister" line. The
whole team kept it a secret from Rowdy who didn't know a thing
about it until the performance on Friday night.

Lunch at what was to become
a frequently visited restaurant because it was right across the
street from the hotel. They had these unique swinging
tables. The food was great and the company was fantastic,
but we had entered the land of bad service....

Part of the Twister
Parade...
|
 These
are the three winners in the Individual Line Dance
Competition. (Left to right) Mary Anne won 1st place
overall, Artie Hammond won 3rd place overall and Dan Sigale won
2nd place overall. Good job guys!
The Twisters had one of the largest contingents (five people)
competing in the Individual Line Dance Competition. Three of the
five made the finals and the two team members pictured here won
various individual dances and of course, the overall
competition. It was a Twister Parade...
