Make Me Dance

That's the title of one of Setrak Sarkissian's old albums, and that's exactly what of the tracks made me do. This was after I'd been dancing a few years. I think it was about 1981 or 1982. Unfortunately, I never got a video of it from a show. My husband shot this video one night while I was rehearsing at City in Motion's dance studio. Forgive the old-time movie sepia thing going on. At the time, we thought we were being artistic. :-)

Thanks for the kind comment.  When is your band planning to tour the Midwestern United States? :-)

Yes, when I was watching this again after so many years have passed, I realized it was heavy on technique. I certainly could have used an audience to relate to.

you are a much better dancer now than you were in this video! It's so rigid and doll like. I kind of laughed a bit! Yes, a much better dancer presently.
