Waack or Treat?

Possibly the most magical question ever asked by Mademoiselle Ginger at DS. 

You may have thought that it was not possible to build on the brilliance of the original Thriller, and in almost all cases you'd be right, but one exceptional exception to this rule could be found at Dance Station on Thursday night where Thriller + Waacking = perfect formulae for fun! Indeed I believe the words were 'it's almost illegal how much fun I was having.' 

By taking some iconic moves and adding an extra 'waackiness' (although in my case, at least, it was probably wackiness that was being added instead) as well as incorporating some freestyle and original waacking choreo, @MlleGinger thought she had the perfect homage to the one and only Michael Jackson and Halloween. 

Of course the routine itself was magnifique, but the instigator may have forgotten who she was dealing with ...... sometimes our combined ability to go off beat, fall out of pirouetting and ask the most insurmountable questions is really unparalleled. I mean where else would the main concern not be about the exact counts or positioning of the arms, but the whereabouts of a fictitious werewolf?!?!?!?!?! Indeed such was the hilarity that the infamous naughty corner had to be drawn from the depths of childhood memories in the hope that the mere threat of it would induce a pavlovian response strong enough to instantly instil order ....... but when that didn't work our raucous rabble had to be separated - SHOCKING! 

Despite these challenges the results were still pretty damn awesome (see below), so awesome in fact to send us to dinner in an even more jovial mood than usual (something I have had occasion to believe was not possible). And so now we must wait patiently (ish) for the CHRISTMAS WAACK!
