House on Logan Circle

Click to Play

I really don't know if this is true or not but the story I heard is that there were two sisters who were so jealous of each other that they constantly fought for their father's attention. Whenever one recieved something the other one claimed that the father playing favorites. The father attempted to resolve this issue by always giving them the exact same thing at the same time. This house was supposedly built for them and it was exactly the same on both sides. Still somehow the sisters found a way to feel that the other one got a better deal. As for me, I just dance in front of it.

The Stairs in the Woods

Click to Play

I felt like a kid playing in the woods like I used to do so long ago. There were these woods behind my house in NC where I picked plums and blackberrys and smoked and read dirty magazines. I was so in love with Marina "Taco" Bell. In this this dance I imagine the fun I would have with my kid, when or if I have one.

BWM 100

This is my 100th post on the BWM Blog and while it is exciting it is not as exciting as the 100th video that will be posted on Sunday on Dance-A-Day. In truth I have done more than 100 because the first month I was posting videos both here and Dance-A-Day but still it is a nice milestone. Yesterday I felt like a kid again as I was making my dances for the week. I did my usual dances in public places but I also went to the P St Beach and danced in Rock Creek and I found some stairs and danced in the woods and I did cartwheels and round offs for the first time in a very long time. I thought "not bad for someone who is about to turn 40." It made me think about kids a lot and how much I want one. I am not around kids much but when I am it just rocks my world, I love it so. I guess once I figure out what I am doing with my life I will look into adoption, although I fear it is not so easy for a single man.

The lovely Jessica was in town, we did the Tryst thing, we did the Trolley thing and as you can see here, the Dance-A-Day thing. David Morneau added his special musical sauce, did he know she was dancing in front of the Hard Rock Cafe? She was also in front of Ford's Theater.

Ted Shawn

Many years ago I dance with Jacob's Pillow's Men Dancers: The Ted Shawn Legacy. Today's dance is a tribute to Ted Shawn's signature work Kinetic Molpai. See the men in action here.

Brass Band

On some nights at Dupont Circle an amazing brass band plays and people gather around and dance the night away. This was one such night. Zane, Todd and I were hanging out and we could not help ourselves.

Manly Dance

Click to Play

Swan Lake Samba Girl has had some interesting posts about men dancers lately and being a male dancer I wanted to add my 3 cents but not in a conversational way but a presentational way. She was also recently mentioned in the Wall St Journal. Go Samba, go Samba. My friend Zane Booker was in town and Todd and I hung out with him and had a great time. I asked Zane to be my manly partner and Todd used my phone to tape the whole thing at night on K St.

Sunset

Click to Play

For this week David Morneau of http://60x365 sent me the sounds of bats for our collaboration. I am not sure if there are bats or birds in the back ground but lets just say they are bats anyway. I loved the sunset by the Potomac river so I made a bat dance.

White House

Click to Play

I was very nervous about this one. I had just witnesses a guy who seemed to be lost around the White House back on to H st and get surrouned by police and he was there for a long time.  Of course I don't really know what happened but it was enough to make this dance feel a bit uncomfortable.

Before the CNN/You Tube Debates there was this

My Friend Ashley http://www.youtube.com/user/AsertyDances
asked the youtube community to submit videos for her show at the Joyce Soho. I just watched them and wow what a great show.

George Mason Memorial

The George Mason statue is not so stately. He is sitting crossed legged and leaning to the side so I leaned the video to the side and discovered the spirit of Isadora Duncan and Isadora Duncan's evil ballet dancing twin.
