Met this couple, they were nice. Invited them over for dinner, wonderful conversation. Decided to have some fun and brought out the twister mat. Night ruined.
Seriously though, this was beautiful beyond words.

I am so confused

what the fuck

I truly believe it is a birth of relationship of creatures through time. It first begins with the woman as as the star searching for place to plant her seed. The man as the earth trying to resist the womans need for change. The woman ,Life, eventually gets her way and ends with the woman as a human being looking up at the heavens waiting to see what comes next and the man as the earth constantly complacently circling.
<Nice job with controling those muscles. i'm always in awe seeing this! :)

@samthefish86 That was said flawlessly, I could not agree with you more. I loved this performance which in some way is weird because I'm 18 6ft pretty fat and black that does nothing but study computers, smoke weed and play video games. however I know talent when I see it and am not afraid to give it the recognition that it deserves. I feel that dance as an art is forwned upon by most men as a "girly" thing to do which sickens me now that ive seen this masterpiece.
