As you may or may not know, there are three dorms here at Notre Dame Australia, and I live in Port Lodge. Every Thursday we have an inter-hall shield competition of some sort, whether it be basketball, netball, cricket, a trivia tournament, or this week's: a dance competition! There was some simple criteria that had to be met in order to not be disqualified: we had to have at least 10 people (check!), our song had to have at least 50% of the song chosen for us (barely a check), and we had to have costumes without purchasing anything (check!). There were some others things we were critiqued on such as creativity, appropriateness, energy, etc. Port Lodge seriously had a BLAST with this competition. We got serious and decided that with our given song, "Hold Your Colour" by Pendulum we couldn't do too much so we remixed it with "Wobble" By V.I.C. We started rehearsals last week and practiced nearly two hours every day (I'm not kidding you).
Tonight was the big night and we were stoked! After choreographing our dance, I think it came out well. Our judges were Father John, our rector Jude, and the infamous lecturer (professor) Shane Burke who teaches Australian history to all the study abroaders (and helped me with all my advanced standing paperwork).
Check out the dance video for results of how we did...
A shout out to Viv and Pat for teaching us the moves. You can't see, but I did a sweet flip over Libby's back at the end of the dance before we all bring it in!
Oh - and Pat's group also made a sick video for their Australian history project on the town of Fremantle, if you want to see where I am living (besides the fact that they did an awesome job on their project):
Wobble baby! I had a great time dancing the night away.
