I've seen Diane Horner's Country Hip Hop Dancing mentioned briefly on the Internet, but I don't think anyone's done its wackness justice. And if there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I'm all about justice. Anyway, I think you'll agree that the highlight reel I put together is, in a word, jammin'. It is the hip-hop.
I'd probably be ashamed of being white right now if I weren't busy laughing so hard. Buffoonish appropriation: it's a trope that never gets old!
Oh, and I thought you'd like some gifs of the hip-hop dancers, so they're below for you:
Heidi!
TJ!
Susan!
Jamie!
They all seem like really good people. Susan is obviously my idol. Also, she is Dakota Fanning. And is it just me, or is Jamie highly fuckable?
Hilarious! Also, Diane Horner is a dead ringer for Stuart from MADtv.

OMG. This is amazing. Thank you for going through the internet's grandma's basement and finding this kind of shit. LOVE IT!
BTW, does Winston actively disapprove of you when you become visibly excited by this sort of thing? My Winston-style cat would've totally looked down at me in disgust.

I was sure Jamie would be your hero. TJ is so creepy I can't get that look out of my head!

What was that? I was too busy paying attention to Jamie's ass.
Something about "HIP HOP COWBOY!".

"Pigeon?" I thought it was called the butterfly?

The backwards Running Man is called the Roger Rabbit? I guess you learn something new everyday
P.S. I never did master the Roger Rabbit

Just saw this from the List. Madre Dios! This is why i got an early introduction to the side-eye at white folks at the age of 7 back in the day. Ah bless. I can't think of a better way to start the pride weekend. Thanky, thanky!

I took dance in a small town for 7 years. We used this video more than once for the "jazz" portion of our class.

The host woman reminds me so much of Kenneth from 30 Rock. It's really freaking me out.

Diane Horner definitely does the running man justice. While my [title of show] has my favourite Heidi and Susan, these two are a close second with their enthusiasm.

I am so glad pride is this weekend in my town, as I now have some dance moves to bust out at the club tonight, in the hopes of getting.......something.

Diane is a dead ringer for Evie from "Girls Will be Girls". And me, circa my 1984 angular bowlcut.

I had to watch this twice because I just couldn't believe it the first time. Apparently this really happened.

It's not just hip hop, it's THE hip hop.
