Funk
Styles Dance Worshop: A Great Success
by Kavita Padia
The funk styles workshop was
a great success, as the dance room was filled with laughter and joy
on November 8, 2005. Two original members of the Electric Boogaloos
came up from Los Angeles to teach the Funk styles workshop. In case
you missed the last issue, the Electric Boogaloos are a group that
is responsible for creating the dancing styles of popping and boogaloo.
The Funk Styles workshop covered the art of popping and Boogaloo.
Two classes were taught, one beginner level, and the other advanced.
There to teach was Skeeter Rabbit, and Poppin’
Pete, who were original members of the Electric Boogaloos.
The beginner’s class was taught about the basic art of popping, with
incorporated Boogaloo style. Junior Danielle Tarangioli
attended the workshop and raved about the experience. “The workshop
was so awesome. Skeeter Rabbit and Poppin’ Pete rocked my world. Their
dance moves were sharp and to the beat.” The advanced class was taught
the same but at a more complicated level. Counts were cut out making
the students have to do the movements at a faster speed. “It was really
cool to take a class that focused just on the fundamentals of popping.
It was interesting, and I had a lot of fun,” said senior Candice
Avanes.

JV Boys Soccer: Starting
Fresh
Usually, the boys J.V. roster is filled with quite a few freshmen.
As there is no freshmen soccer team, it is not at all unusual to see
some of Valley's newest students squaring off against some teams,
like Mitty and Bellarmine, who are chock full of sophomores and even
juniors. Naturally, putting freshman and juniors together seems slightly...
unfair. Things are going to be different this year.

Teacher Survey: Most
Embarrassing Holiday Moment?
Embarassing moments happen to everyone. They are not something
you can avoid or prevent, they are just part of life that most people
have learned to accept and shake off. Christmas brings joy but it
can also bring several embarrassing moments that a majority of people
would much rather forget. The events of Christmas such as the putting
up of the Christmas tree, or maybe trying to put together some of
the presents that say "assembly required" can bring those
most memorable Christmas moments.
