Mixed Tapes for Magical Moments, Vol. 11: For the Back-up Dancers

Here's a group that often doesn't get enough credit: Back-up dancers. I'm guessing at least 27% you opted not to go into professional back-up dancing because you knew, once you failed to win the role of Clara in your community ballet troupe's Nutcracker, that you'd be forever dancing in the shadows. Yes, I know, it had nothing to do with talent. But what if being a back-up dancer meant fame and fortune, would you have followed your dream? Just imagine: Had you settled for less, you could have been on Solid Gold, or in a Janet Jackson video, or Madonna's toy boy! Oh well. If wishes were horses...

Well, just for old times sake, go ahead and put on your bike shorts and knee pads. The gangs all here and ready to DANCE!

And a-One, and a-Two...Just Try to Keep Up

If I had pursued back-up dancing (my original dream) instead of grad school, J-Lo would be buying me a customized Dodge Ram truck! What have I got right now? Student aid debt and no customized Dodge Ram truck, that's what!
