Dance Moves/Style: * She has a smooth and slow way of slinking around, especially with her hips.

Visuals/Dress: *
Use of Space/Cinematography: * The lighting is really bad; there’s lots of glare from artificial lights — yuck!

Time: 5:56 PM
Name(s): Crazy Guy #2 on the Bridge with the money shirt . Jos Mckain
Dance Moves/Style: *
Spirit/Energy: * * Lots of jumping around
Visuals/Dress: * * (Love that shirt!)
