Since I am not feeling well today and I don’t feel motivated to write about our last night out as a class, I leave you with this Tecktonik video.

Of course if I am to actually post every single day in 2008 I have to have content from other sources. Here is a very funny video that I came across after I joined the Facebook group, Gildy in Europe. Join it to see many more Tecktonik videos.

I came down with a nasty case of stomach flu or something. After dinner last night my stomach felt like someone was wringing out my intestine. This morning I woke up and felt a tiny bit better but each time I ate, no matter how much or how little, it started again. I was too sick to try that Tecktonik class at Pomme so I will leave you with a video instead. I hope I
am better for my rendevous with my new friends from my class at the Alliance Française. I will take pictures.

TEKTONIK
Uploaded by ArnoParis

Well I didn’t even know about it and it turns out my gym is offering a class this Saturday in this dance. I think it is a special one time class to see if members would like the class. Thanks for the tip Lost in France. Another reader, Bob, sent a link to a video of the style. I agree with you, it’s not much of a dance. I wonder if some doctor who specializes in repetitive strain injuries paid his kids to dream up this dance, all I can say is Carpal Tunnel here we come. It would probably be fun to watch, maybe I’ll even try it.

If you want to read more here is the entry for it in Wikipedia. It is in French and I couldn’t find one in English. At the bottom are some links to more info and videos. Maybe when we go out dancing one night we will see it at a club. It will probably come and go, remember voguing, the tissue dance, scarf dancing, in Philadelphia the Wu Tang, “the kids these days”.
