Better than the Hora! B-boy Nemesis Workshop

For those of you who are searching for new shtick to do at weddings aside from wearing a t-shirt from your undergraduate alma mater and singing your school song complete gestures that would not be out of place at a Hitler Youth rally (Penn people, I'm talking to you!), then may I suggest break dancing?

Break dancing is perfect for weddings and bar mitzvahs where the dancing is already done in a circle. So instead of just running around in said circle, moving without regard for the beat, you can jump in the middle and show off your slick moves.

But where to learn these moves?

You could go to the subway stop in Times Square and ask the b-boys there to teach you but breaking requires you to put your hands on the floor, and do you really want to be touching New York's largest public toilet with anything other than the bottom of your shoes?

Or you could attend B-boy Nemesis' breaking workshop, which will be held on May 23rd at the Ripley Grier Studios in New York City. The class is intended for beginners and Nemesis will take you through the basics of b-boying. You may not learn to spin on your head from this one class but you'll certainly master enough to impress the laypeople.



So if you are about to attend a wedding or bar mitzvah and would like to break the cycle of Jewish rhythmlessness, then go to www.BreakerNYC.com for more information and to register.

By the way, non-Jews and those possessed of rhythm may also attend. I just don't feel comfortable making fun of other religious and ethnic groups other than my own. I think if I did I'd have to turn in my "East Coast Liberal" badge.
