HU - Ooh La La 2004 "Slip and Recovery"

[lovingAKA]

Whoa! How did she not twist or break something? She went down in an awkward position. Great save and good for her to press on with the performance. Kudos!! :-)

[KiddLatoria]

YESSSSSSS!

[hershey0000]

I luv this video....I'm a dance coach n I show my girls this video during our tryout week....n let them know this is a true dancer....never stop if u mess up or fall.....9 out of 10....noone knows you messed up but u n of course the dancers.....the audience dont know your routine!!!

[GScott7]

she made up her own dance lol

[MrCasanova307]

she almost fell again at 2:07 that was funny



[LCLTBONE2010]

lmao EPIC lol like how she bounced back tho but still funny lmmfao

[YNVME1978]

this is suppose to be one of the Elite HBCUs and this dance line sucks! It is like a bad mixture of the outstanding Jsettes, and the technical and beautiful Southern University Dancing Dolls...

[Hott18boy]

Great recovery...

[DancinCenterStage]

That was the BEST recovery I've EVER seen!

[onenonlyyellabeh51]

did she suppose to do that 2:00 or she juss fell on accident

[Gentleman1911]

@onenonlyyellabeh51 It was by accident and she played it off, or should I say danced it off.

[JSUTrumpet]

we really was poo

[pbsstep1914]

Could somebody explain WHAT they are marching on. Everytime I see a DC area clip its like they're performing in the snow. Is the floor white or something?

[Gentleman1911]

@pbsstep1914 The folks at the stadium thought we were going to mess up the field so they had some kind of tarp to put down. It was extremely slippery to perform on as you can see.

[pbsstep1914]

@Gentleman1911 - yea thanks...lol. The way she was slippin and sliding I was starting to think this was "HBCU's On Ice" lol.

[Gentleman1911]

@pbsstep1914 LOL, you would think that if you were out there marching. Everyone was watching their step. LOL

[classsclownnn]

YOU GO GIRL!!

[bandgeek572]

[krazieBEAST]

YASSS! she did her thing tho. i ain't even mad. i just wish she didn't almost slip up again. but yea, she's good.

[CoCoaQtie21]

You better work!!!!!!! LOVED IT

[plbaylock]

wooow what a Recovery that was the best Slip and Recover ever

[Salsadivva]

I know this may be an impossible request, but it would be great to know who the young lady was who recovered so well and whether she was the captain of the dance team in 2004. I hope she is still dancing somewhere. Very talented! You can just hear the audience gasp when she fell and an arousing applause at how well she recovered. My hat is off to you, girl! Go alma mater!

[ScherzoFFF]

Nah, she wasnt the Captain. I think she still dances....I believe she was a Dance major.

[BPrideful]

No she was in the School of Business. She was captain later.

[Salsadivva]

I'm so proud of my alma mater! That is the best recovery from a slip and fall I've ever seen! And she did it with such ease and grace which is a testimony to her dance training. So sorry that Lbreeden6381 had nothing nice to say. I guess there will always be haters. Nevertheless, you go, girl! Love my HU!

[kdmofo]

I'm from Hampton U's dance team... and she def gets props for getting back up. And not only did she get up, she was jammin as she did!

Props to Oh La La and all dancers

[TdotRice]

big props to that girl. she worked it out!

[TMCBSL]

that was smart of her to think on her feet instead of just falling and jumping back up like it didnt happen.

acknowledge it

use the moment

and move on! which is what she did

[sexyrae1989]

She Kept It Moving Real Nice..LOL

[FlyGirlSociety10]

love how she kept it movin like she meant to do that... lol.

[silkaem]

U know, I hate these non-band folks that act snooty when we use their facilities. If they dont want bands marching on an actualy field, let us know so we can have an event elsewhere. It's not like we march in cleats.

Big ups to the dancer for taking what was giving to her and making the bets out of it.

[jaiboi0908]

ilovethe way she recovered from that...that was cute...good job

[justgfoster]

what song is this?

[c00ki3nikki]

Usher- Caught up

[tcain12]

what were they dancing on?

[Gentleman1911]

They had some kind of tarp on the field. They didn't want the bands to mess up the field. But it was a slippery mess for everyone.

[tcain12]

tragic...lol

[HouseCat08]

LMAO!!!! Now das how you keep a show movin after a major f-up!!!

[nishaizzo]

WOW...now that was good

I dont think I have ever seen a recovery that good!! :)

[c00ki3nikki]

LoL...IM LOVING IT!!!! OMG, im not talking about McDonalds either, OMG she did that split and did a whole different routine and still blanked!!!!

[Lbreeden6381]

every time i see their dance line it reminds me of a high school dance line...they dnt have any technique and they dnt stand out to me...

[thesweetestselection]

and how many times have u "seen" them?

[Lbreeden6381]

i'v been following bands every since i went to middle school..so dats about 6 yrs... nd i have been on my high school dance line for 4yrs...they look like high schools we compete against..they sometimes break in between cts nd we dnt even do that...

[HomiPSIde2k1]

Ok, good for you. Put up some video or " your dance squad" with you on it to back up YOUR claims or shutdafuckup! Get into college and in a band before you judge.

[Lbreeden6381]

sweetie comments are for opinions...drama is for middle school grown up...thanX HuN!

[g2gdance]

[krisclassof2011]

[Gentleman1911]

They had some kind of tarp on the field that was kind of slippery to march and dance on.

[spartangirl]

I LOVED IT!!!!  What's so great is that she didn't lose her enthusiasm or intensity as she worked her way back to get "Caught Up". Great job!!! You werked that thang girl!!!

[kirstinah]

[brickhouse492]

She's amazing. You better work. HU

[andreic21]

It happens, she was too nervous and pushed the limits too far and slips at least 3-4 time one she fall, the other girls were ok in all moves. Need to take it easy and smooth.

[Klaya2]

GOOOD JOB

[QweenTye]

[tweetieboo16]

Can u email me the clip of i will survvie dance?

[DaleJrQueen]

LMAO

[REDDOG525]

The J-Settes put down their batons, firstly

(circa 1969. Techincally they are the founders of the HCBU Dancelines. The have yet to be challenged by any organization and its a continious demand to stay ahead of the game due to the fact of todays national television coverage, the video camera, and their accessible footage like on YOUTUBE....They are often imitated, but never duplicated! But they are watch and admire both near and far! Smile LOL

[REDDOG525]

And yes I saw Nevano her at 2:08, but prior to that at 1:54 she almost fell at the begining of her "fouette's". She added an extra pirouette and the end of that eight. Yes, HU have improved, but they are immitating the SWAC "Dancing Dolls" and trying to have the sophistication, grace, and percission of a SWAC "Prancing J-Sette" That feet is imposible!

[REDDOG525]

"Another one bites the dust!" Much props to ol' gurl for being trying to be a show-stopper. Her recovery skills shows; hiting a split, since she was already down close to that comprimising position. Cleverly, she got up and freestyled quite a bit too much until she got "Caught UP" (the USHER song they were performing to) with her "choreogriffany"!

[RyBlonde]

LOL that is hysterical. Ok, the whole thing in a whole was sad, but...her fall was so funny. Good job!

[Bakari11]

Respect! she fell like a drunk but still did her thing.

[TomazHilton]

yes Howard Dancers are VERY undertated.. i have a Clip from HU HC it hink 2002 or 2003 when they danced to I Will Survive another HU Hall Of Fame Arrangment!!!

[becaguy04]

they have really improved over recent years, if u loook @ the older videos, they were a mess... Keep it Up Howard!

[soupa22]

They're are badd!!!! I really got to give it to HU!!! I guess now we know who the real HU is!!

[soupa22]

I like the way they move. Good but not like my Dancing Dolls, but getting kind of close. Howard needs to play Southern.

[soupa22]

She was good I give her that. Other girls probably would have tried their hardest to catch and made it look all kinds of crazy but she was good tho. Go 'head Howard university.

[charisehughes]

She recovered well...good job HU!

[nevano]

LMAO!!!!!I AIN'T EVEN GONE LIE,SHE WENT INTO FREESTYLE LIKE A MUG!!!! She did dat though,did anybody notice she almost bust her a** again after she got up between 2:07 n 2:08?

[RiahJ]

That recovery was on point. That is exactly how you're supposed to do it. Make it look like the slip was just part of the show.

[Jayson0307]

lol, She Did that too smooth!

[japan63114]

Yeah she did a really good job recovering...she tore it up!

[twatuba]

is dat snow? nice recovery tho

[Gentleman1911]

No, they put a kind of tarp covering on the field which was very hard on all the dance groups that day.

[TomazHilton]

This is the Halftime is Gametime Botbs not Original Botbs but La La tore that shat up and ole gurl did that recovery well
