In the films:
1. Boy meets girl
2. They sing a song
3. Something bad happens
4. They sing a song
5. The problem is resolved
6. They sing a song
7. They get married
8. They sing a song
9. The film ends
10. They sing a song
But the thing is that in reality, life doesn't work out that way because, you know, there's not as much in-tune singing - a great (probably the greatest) majority of the population are in fact tone-deaf and animal singing, if cats are anything to go by, is horrendous.
So when St. Valentine roles around and Cupid hasn't struck you with his bow, or you don't want to celebrate the holiday for whatever reason, then it must be concluded that valentine is wack.
To make it pass by quicker, some people bury themselves in their work.
This is a legitimate coping mechanism but it isn't really DS style, instead we have @MlleGinger to fall back on.
With a little bit of help from: the Ginger one, Gloria (Gaynor that is) and some FABULOUS 80s fashion, we chose to bury ourselves in our werk instead.
By employing this strategy, Valentine got a lot more FIERCE and went from being wack to WAACK.
This is obviously an attitude that is a lot more satisfactory and a lot less damsel-in-distress (which quite frankly is so 14th century (when heels were only beginning to make their first appearance and there were definitely no stilettos in sight).
Getting into character, because you really wouldn't expect anything else from us lot, our 'oh hell no' fierce-faces reflected the fact that us DS girls are a force to be reckoned with and NOBODY: no man, no woman, no thing (living or dead) should forget that- because if they do, we will choose to show them the music and make it abundantly clear that they should: "walk out the door" because they are most certainly "NOT WANTED ANYMORE!"
Thus by banging out some FRESH choreography in this fashion we went from sappy to sassy in one verse and one chorus, proving that we will most certainly not 'fall down and die' due to a lack of suitable dating candidates being available on the market (seriously scientists get a move on designer babies have been around for a while when you going to go up a gear?!?!?!) because when you have dance, drama, disco and the absolute best friends around, then who needs dinner and a movie - we even had a rose to show for the evening thanks to the gorgeous @LolaLola_B's secret admirer.
Such was the high that this fierceness created that even the prospect of Raggatone was a lot less daunting than normal.
In fact a feeling of (almost) eagerness fell over me and was, for once, not rescinded as soon as class begun due to the return of ANTENNA - and a super-extended definitelychoreographed100percentvertically version at that!
This routine is great because the cheese factor is so large that when melted from the heat in the studio it covers the parts of the combination when we're close to the floor and I start looking like a frog that's just been hit by a car and can no longer (poor thing) work out how its legs are supposed to work in a coordinated fashion.
As a result we all left the studio buoyed up and feeling like true survivors - something that proved to be extremely beneficial at Throwdown where the highly romantic, 'totes emosh' Krumpers threatened to take out @MlleGinger, @CarleeBanks and @MissEleanorOfficial in their bid to be crowned last ever krumping champion - the chants of VALENTINE IS WAACK should be heard loud and clear(until next year when it won't be on a Thursday)as you accept the fact, embrace it and look out for the footage coming soon.
And just for good measure:
