Darling it's better, down where it's wetter ...

.... take it from me, sometimes when you are free-styling it helps to have a story to inspire your moves. 

In general this is really good advice and it can lead to some of the most inspired free-styles. However, the problem is that at Dance Station, we have a tendency to take this concept a little bit too literally. This doesn't just apply in waacking or hip hop either (although 'thrift shopping' inspiration apparently equates to walking around the studio with a shopping trolley), but also Jazz apparently.   

The problems that this can cause were illustrated on Sunday when we were supposed to be free styling during the introduction to Rihanna and decided that the most appropriate way to represent the music was to pretend to be under the Sea and move around as Seaweed and crabs ..... as you do ... much to the despair of @KleioBows. 

If you've never free-styled like seaweed before, it involves a lot of swaying, and walking like a crab is exactly that, with an apparently obligatory french accent ..... I don't know why that's just the rules!!!
