klaybae Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 You see this awesomeness? It's called dancewalking. I love it. I do it around the house. I do it in parking garages. I've even done it coming home from a run to Gangnam Style for some middle schoolers. Now, I want to raise money with it. For every British pound raised for Rethink.org (check them out, super spiffy site they have!) I will dancewalk 10 meters around Biel. Now Biel isn't a huge city, but it's pretty big. And it's super pedestrian-y. And loads of people will see me doing it. Which is exactly what I want. I'll be repping Rethink Mental Illness with a spiffy t-shirt they are giving me while I dance, with Scurry plodding along behind me to record my major debut for your sole enjoyment. I'm even working out how to live stream! My goal is to raise 500 poundaroonies. If I reach this goal by the end of the challenge, that means I will be dancewalking a 5k. How cool is that! Wouldn't you love to see how many random Swiss folk I can get to join along in my 5k dancewalk through beautiful Biel? Yes. The answer is yes. Have I gone nutters?? No doubt. But it's going to be so fun! So come on, dig in for me--pack a brown bag and skip lunch at the cafeteria or give up your morning frappecrappewhatacino and donate to my fundraiser. Please!? It's a challenge goal! You can even do it more than once! IMAGINE! But for all seriousness and real-feels...this is a very important cause to me. Any little donation will probably send me over the rainbow. Check my siggy for the link! Thanks for reading! Quote Crystal Gem Druid || Stat-free Level-free Goodness "I won't run away anymore...

alienjenn Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I I think that we need a sample video so that we can determine your dancing style so that we know the best songs and dances and or styles to recommend in order to make the best fit if you know what I mean (sent by the phone. .. all mistakes are the phones fault) Quote Level 10.4 Wood-Elf, Ranger - specializing in demon fighting "doing the impossible since 2012 :D" - Librarian of Doom facebook battle log level 50 WOOT Backstory CNF2014 current (not challenge - doing a battle log this time) Spoiler * This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice in it and be glad.

Swampling Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Awesome - thanks for the demo! Will your mini join you in your dancewalk? I wouldn't *demand* a special dance move, but Travolta in Pulp Fiction always cracks me up... Maybe you could work a little Travolta tribute in?
