What started out as a night of good vibes and great tunes quickly turned into a dancehall edition of (Bashment) Girlz Gone Wild!
As Chat ‘Bout made a more that fashionable entrance close to 2am, the dance was in full swing to the tunes of Ricky Hype and Star Temple. Joining in the birthnight celebration, KC Platinum made a cameo appearance and played a few tunes including the latest dub plates from Sample Jack
(Can you say - N I C E!!!!?)
Just as the dance reached its potential, the night’s special guests – straight from Detroit- made their way onto the scene. The honeys with the cute ‘fros and the hotpants made a great first impression on this reporter, but the fascination quickly faded amongst the lack of dancehall moves and clearly choreographed routines for some popular tunes. I can’t put my finger on it, but I sensed the trio lacked the bashy attitude and the ability to rule the dance floor that comes with the territory being a dancehall/bashment crew. I hope the little Ms. Cuties take a lesson from the styling our own Destiny and Ms. Trini or have a talk with Lady Spyda on how to rule the crowd and gain that dancehall respect as a dancehall queen/crew. With many years ahead for the young ladies, I suspect in time they will have the full finesse and attitude to match their fashion sense. But as of Saturday, unfortunately, let’s just say the crowd obviously had the same feeling as one partygoer (no names, please) proceeded to pour a drink onto one of the dancing Detroit Girlz as they demonstrated some of the latest dancehall moves.
Speaking of Destiny and Ms. Trini (who was on her BEST behavior), decided to represent C-Town with their own moves as the ladies took over the speakers, tables, chairs and anything else to show why they are Cleveland’s Dancehall Queens. Much props to Ms. Destiny and she avoided a nasty accident between her signature headstand and an uncooperative table. The headstands became a little more stable with a chair and the dance floor. Whew!
Also in the crowd for this night of high energy and dancing were Maggie Untouchable and crew (who still is looking for that Killer Mix and Match ensemble for her big dance in a few weeks), Onnie (rocking the latest from the House of De’Leon), Tammy Trendz with her crew, The Designing Women, King of the Dancehall – Blacka and Nicholi (sans Dylan, again), The Big Man himself, Mr. Dailey, making an appearance with an Anti Smoking message on the mike, and as I live and breath, my eyes were not playing tricks on me, but Lady Spyda made a laid back appearance onto the scene as well (It was definitely good to see you in the place, Lady!)
If this dance was a sign of things to come, I am definitely looking forward to the Dance-O-Rama THIS Friday at Caribbean Flavor!
