Kinect Dance Central Video Diary Entry 1

I can't dance. I'm hoping Dance Central will change all that. For the next eight weeks I am going to practice and post a Video Diary of my progress. This is the first entry November 6, 2010. Yes I look like a fool and feel free to laugh. Post comments, I started with Poison because...well just because, but I am open to suggestions for the next song to tackle. My plan is to: pic a song, record an entry as a baseline on easy, then practice 30 min a day for a week and then post my progress after a week. If I feel comfortable and if You the viewers approve I will graduate to the next level of the song. Once I finish a song I will take a viewer suggestion for my next song...At the very least you all will get a laugh... and maybe I will learn how to dance! As always please "like", subscribe and comment. Thanks!

If you would like to get Dance Central, please consider ordering from Amazon with the link below:

PS: I will be trying out a different Camera set up next time so I don't go out of frame so much.


PPS: **Legal Mumbo Jumbo Warning** I believe my use of the game in my video falls under "fair use" in that I'm using the game to its intended purpose to help with my lack of dancing skills, as the game content directly changes according to my performance I feel this is reposting so as to rescue an experience. (Rescuing experiences is what Diaries are all about after all!) Check out:

Category Four.

If this is not the case let me know.

**Sorry for all the legal bs, but I don't want the video to get pulled.**

Great job man keep it up! Good luck it will be intresting to how good you get at dancing and if you drop some pounds. I had a friend that used ddr to lose a lot of weight. I don't mean to be mean about the weight it will just be interesting. thanks for the vid!

@kage06 No offense taken about my weight, I'm overweight and I know it. One of the things that attracted me about dance central and the kinect was the possibility to get rid of some pounds...Been practicing for 3 days 250lbs when I started 248.5lbs now... we'll see if it's just a daily flux or if I really lose weight over time. Thanks for the Comment!

Keep at it--ambitious great idea! Perhaps just show us the actual dance, not the practice sessions?

[lawrenceraybon]

@mbenjam1 This was a video of my first time and I wanted to show a baseline, in the future I'll probably skip the "Break it Down" section in the video or edit it down to keep the video shorter. Thanks for the feedback!

@lawrenceraybon if you notice most pro dancers are not only fit, but their body is very well toned. most people don't realise, these dancers' fitness is actually a result of dancing. it's a great a cardio exercise, and you burn calories while havin fun. nevetheless, keep dancing for fun and posting videos. kudos
