highland dancing

Probably the most extreme, physically tiring form of dancing in the world. Either competed or performed, highland dancing is both mentally and physically exhausting. Dancers hop on one foot, performing a variety of difficult dance moves, sometimes including leaps in the air, dancing over crossed swords, and other such challenges. Dancers compete the highland dances in kilts and jackets and/or vests, and perform the national dances in the aboyne costume. A white or blue sailor's costume is worn for the Sailor's Hornpipe. More liberties are taken with the outfit for the Scottish Jig.

All the dances are performed wearing the soft shoe ghillie, similar to the ballet slipper.The one exception is the Scottish Jig; it is performed in hard heeled shoes with metal attached the the bottom of the heel that make clacking noises.

The dances include the:
Fling
Sword
Seann Truibhas
Strathspey and Highland Reel

Tullochan
Barracks Johnny

Darcie, well, she is an amazing individual who likes a certain someone! But she will hide it and deny it until the time is right. She hides the bad bits of life and reveals the best! She is gorgeous and fit, and anyone’s best friend! If u have a Darcie in your life, keep her and hold her tight- as she deeply cares for you so much! She is sporty and is drawn to the attraction of horses and animals. She loves the out doors and loves all of her family! She can be rude at times but in a family friendly way! Love her much and hold her tight- she’s one of a kind!!

Dancing Man

Originally posted on 4chan's /b forum, the Dancing Man is a collection of two photos; one of an overweight man dancing fervently, and the other of the same man bowing his head in humiliation as (presumeably) a group of people laugh at him. The caption of the photo said: "Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing." Due to the mean-spirited nature of the post, a Twitter user decided to start a #dancingman campaign to find the Dancing Man, and furthermore invite him to a massive party with hundreds of woman in LA. This hastag quickly blew up on Twitter, with even celebrities like Pharrell Williams, Moby, and Ellie Goulding supporting the cause and opting to perform at the party. The Dancing Man was eventually identified as a London native named Sean, who will attend the party.
The Dancing Man is proof that there is still faith in humanity.
