Dancing in the Dark.

I MUST blog this so I can look back in a few months time and think "what a pleb!"

Anyway...

So myself and Mr Matthew were taling the other night about him working at the opera house and the conversation drifted over to Darcey Bussell. Mat began his spiel on how much of a cock she is and apparently the technical staff have a poster of her defaced in their office. I just happen to be reading her book where she has a chapter on how the opera house staff would play tricks on her and shine lights in her face while she was doing a series of pirouettes. She mentioned that she wished she could just dance in the dark.

Well this set Mat off on a series of comedic sketches while walking along the Strand. Oh My God I have not laughed like in forever!
He began announcing ballet terms while standing still.

It went something like this....

"And Pirouette.........SPLIT!

Buerre buerre buerre

SPLIT!

OUCHMYARSE!

And up

pa de ba......pa de ba

buerre buerre buerre

SPLIT!

And Mars bar break

Up again and one two three one two three

foette one....foette two.....jump UP and land

foette one......foette two and END!

I can honestly say it was the funniest thing I've ever seen - an extremely camp, fully grown guy standing still on a street while announcing this sketch.

I said if we ever pull it off I'd dance.
