GET YOUR DANCE ON AT "DIRTY MONDAY" SALOON ENCINITAS!

One of north county's little secrets is found on Monday nights at the Saloon in Encinitas. The miraculous and always sexy Dj Gabe Vega drops music by artist such as Crystal Castles, Passion Pit, and Santigold, keeping things flowing, and bodies moving. Interestingly dubbed "Dirty Monday", it's one of my favorite places to sit back, enjoy the show and do a little two step! I came to the conclusion that the name came along because of the dirty guys who gather here. Long greasy hair, cheap knit beanies, and lots of leather can be found on these boys. And for some reason, the ladies love 'em (even when they're buying the guys their drinks)!

FLUXX SD WINS NATIONAL TITLE: "NEW CLUB OF THE YEAR"!!!!

FLUXX SD can now add the "New Club of the Year" award onto their mantle of remarkable achievements. The downtown San Diego night club beat out nearly 150 impressive new club venues from through out the country in places such as New York, Miami, & LA for the baddest title in nightlife: "NEW CLUB OF THE YEAR" for 2011. According to Nightclub & Bar. com ( The Best in Bar Management ) San Diego has got the "mack daddy of them all". It couldn't be a better time to be a San Diego resident, as apparently the hottest night club in the U.S. is in our own back yard!! To be honest though, it's no surprise club FLUXX won the prestigious award, as with every weekend of every month club director's continue to deliver outstanding performances that make every visit to FLUXX unforgettable! From the headline DJ's, the incredibly talented live musicians, the stage lights, bottle service, drinks, to the dancers, this venue has the award in the bag! A source close to the club, told Boom Box the FLUXX dancers specifically spend nearly 5-8 hours a week rehearsing dance routines, so they can perform at their best ability for the floor audience. And OMG they never miss a beat! For those of you who haven't been to FLUXX ( which the only reason should be because you have been sitting under a rock) the dance numbers for these stage performers aren't your average "Go Go pop lock and dropping dance move". Being a dancer at FLUXX require's, strength , agility & balance as the majority of the girls performances are trapeze inspired entertainment. You will often see dancers swinging and dancing on roped poles hung from as high as 25feet off the ground. Not only are the girls, talented but extremely attractive too! They make the Pussy Cat Dolls look like the Spice Girls on training wheels! So mad props to the dancers at FLUXX, they are a huge influence that separates the San Diego night club experience from any other! To schedule a bottle service appointment for your next party or get information about upcoming DJ or music performances please visit: fluxxsd.com or call 619.232.8100 for more information.

Wiz Khalifa’s “Black And Yellow (G-Mix) has us dancing for the Steelers! featuring T-Pain & Snoop.

Even if we weren’t in the throes of football season, we’d be all abuzz about “Black and Yellow,” Pittsburgh-bred rapper Wiz Khalifa’s ode to his hometown Steelers. Now the all-star team assembled for the song’s official “G-mix” (Snoop Doog, Three 6 Mafia’s Juicy J, and T-Pain) is back for the video. It’s a big departure from the original — instead of the raw, personal look at his Pittsburgh neighborhood, we’re offered a stream of items (a Lamborghini, a Christmas tree) in Wiz’s two favorite colors.

Encinitas Ca, DST BAR & GRILL is now open for DANCING

Encinitas Ca, hallau-fn-luya their is a God! Dst Bar & Grill of downtown Encinitas is back in business, meaning they can now burn that ridiculous and uncomfortable front door sign that reads, "No Dancing Allowed". The established beach town hotspot got their dancing license back in October, getting everything back and running in December of last year. Since then customers of the bar have been throwing back drinks and two steps to the beats of satellite radio installed in the restaurants sounds system. However, Saturday January 22 that's going to changed when Dst welcomes back Dj's to play for an open dance floor. The eventful night will be headlined by none other than DJ FishFonic's. Word has it the Saturday night gig could be extended to the Encinitas Dj indefinitely. "I couldn't think of a more deserving Dj than Erik Fish considering he has been spinning in Encinitas for years now, and ever since has left quite an impression." stated an Encinitas bar hopper. Many Encinitas local's, such as Miss Encinitas herself ( creator of boomboxdancers, Tania Milberg ) became very emotional when she received the good news. " I called everyone. My friends, my parent's, aunts, uncles, cousins, everyone!" stated the former beauty contestant. So grab your high tops and most comfortable pair of dance pumps ladies because the tables are turning out and away for the dance floor here to stay! ARE YOU EXCITED DST HAS DANCING ONCE AGAIN? WE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS!

MIRROR ON THE WALL, WHO'S THE BETTER DANCER OF THEM ALL?

Who dances in front of the mirror anymore? Is it just me or does it seem like the 'you can only do alone with the door locked hobby' is dying out? I hope not! After all isn't dancing in the mirror the best way to rehearse our dance moves. I love dancing in the mirror, it's a great hobby, I highly recommend it! Last night I stayed up surfing through youtube videos of people dancing in front of there mirror at home. I saw all kinds of moves being busted. Some good, some bad, and some very POW POW POW, if you know what I mean. I saw girls with train & cabooses doing the "DUN DUN DUN DUNNN!" I thought my computer screen was going to explode. Along the top notch pop lock and dropping, I encountered some internet crypt walking, gypsy belly dancing while other's clearly came back from watching Black Swan as their toes stayed more pointed than the needle nose of my next door neighbor. Some danced in booty shorts & braw's while other's danced in sweatpants and t-shirts. Regardless of what they were wearing, watching them get down was quite the entertainment. Here are a few of the links to the videos of people dancing in the mirror that got my attention! COPY & PASTE THE URL TO VIEW WHO WE THOUGHT WERE THE BEST AT HOME DANCERS ON YOUTUBE. PLUS WATCH YOURS TRULY BREAK IT DOWN!! 1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3-BYEJLvMs 2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jO_0gM6TDI&feature=related 3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCJ3OVcfIZs&feature=related

GONE WITH THE BOOTS, GONE WITH THE "Go-Go"

Is it just me or is the term "Go Go Dancer" played out. To me it carry's an old school jute box, dancing on a pole ring to it wouldn't you say?! I mean come on, the title sounds so 1960's, as it was originally given to entertainers of that time who were employed to entertain crowds at a discotheque. That's DISCO-TECH, if it appeared nearly as confusing to you as it did me. OK, I think it's time we give the profession a more hip and sexy title, I mean come on its not like we're in peppermint lounge's doing "the twist". Go Go dancers most certainly don't wear those clunky platform Go Go BOOTS anymore. I say, gone with the Go Go Boots, and gone with the Go Go! According to Webster's Dictionary, Go Go Dancer" means "Dancer of the Devil". Wow no that's a title! To be honest I was surprised Webster even found the time to define what it means to be 'GoGo'. Other sources refer 'Go Go' as night club dancer of abundance, galore. Ha, now that's more like it! It derives from the phrase "go-go-go" for a high-energy person, which in turn is derived from the ancient French word la gogue for "joy, happiness" Here are few of the dancing professions who's title's have slightly changed over the years: The "Street Dancer" is now called none other than the " Break Dancer". The "Moonwalker" is now formally known as the "Electric Slider". And a "Two Stepper" is now called a "Crypt Walker" I mean hey, even strippers got new more appropriate titles specific to what their tasks entail; either "Nude Dancer" or "Top Less Dancers". So after some serious brainstorming here are the following titles I believe are best as the new name for a "Go Go Dancer" : 1) night club dancer 2) booty dancer 3) joy dancer 4) coyote dancer ( that one was inspired by Coyote Ugly the movie) 5) body dancer 7) step dancer 8) performance dancer 9) hey even "cage" dancer is fine by me! Anything but GO GO pleeeeaaaazzzee! WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD MAKE GOOD NAME TO REPLACE THE "GO GO" IN GO GO DANCER?

The Fist Pump

Don't get caught lookin' like a wannabe on the dance floor. You gotta learn the fist pump (aka The Guido Punch and The Guido Pump). All you gotta do is clench your fist, flex your arm and bring your fist toward your shoulder. Then extend the fist away from your body in a punching fashion in different angles. Keep repeating. You get extra points if you get your other Guido buds to form a circle and pound it out on the floor to the techno sounds while you "beat up the beat." Then rise to join your Guidette. What your feet are doing isn't as important as the fist pump. And if you can grind on a Guidette while performing the fist pump in time to the music, you're a master.

Top 10 Dance Movie's of all Time

1) "West Side Story" (1961) This movie musical revolutionized dancing onscreen, under the expert hand of Jerome Robbins 2) "Saturday Night Fever" (1977) The Bee Gees and John Travolta took disco dancing to a whole other level in this classic dance movie. That, and white leisure suits. 3) "Flashdance" (1983) Jennifer Beals is the “Maniac” who gave torn sweatshirts a whole new meaning in this great dance flick. An exotic dancer who wants to get into ballet school, hot! 4) "Footloose" (1984) Kevin Bacon plays the city boy who comes to a small town where rock music and dancing have been banned — and gets them to boogie in the streets. An ’80s dance staple! 5) "Dirty Dancing" (1987) Nobody puts Baby in a corner!” Spending the summer learning a thing or two about dirty dancing with the resort’s dashing dancing teacher. (Patrick Swayze) You don't have to ask me twice! 6) "Save the Last Dance" (2001) A small-town girl (Julia Stiles), who wants to be a ballerina, moves to Chicago and learns some new dance steps from the streets! 7) "Chicago" (2002) Bob Fosse’s choreography at its best! And who knew the Oscar-winning Catherine Zeta-Jones was such a fabulous dancer! 8) "Step Up" (2006) Sexy Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan steam it up on the dance floor in the original “Step Up,” as mismatched partners, who turn a traditional dance school on its ear. 9) "Stomp the Yard" (2007) After the death of his brother, an expert street dancer (Columbus Short) goes to Georgia to attend Truth University — and learns to stomp! 10) "Step Up 3" (2010) A tight-knit group of New York City street dancers, team up with NYU freshman Moose, and find themselves pitted against the world's best hip hop dancers in 3-D! Every dance movie from here our should be directed in 3-D.

Be careful, I might taunt you with my dancing!

OK, since the beginning of time, even cave men danced. I can't imagine a more original way for a person to express excitement than with a dance or two- step celebration. It's a universal language that for the most part all culture's accept and understand. Especially in the world of sports, because it's athletes that are the next best dancers of the world because their agility, balance & flexibility. Which why we don't understand why football will no longer permit endzone touchdown line dance's. In American football, where it's most common recognized, they refer to it as 'touchdown celebrations'. In 2006 the NFL, in an effort to cut down on celebrations, amended its rules to include an automatic 15 yard penalty against any player who leaves his feet or uses a prop, like a towel, or more specifically the football. The penalty is called as "excessive celebration". Taunting and extreme celebration are both offenses in the NFL as a result, gaudy displays are often frowned upon. If the league views the act as highly offensive, large fines and even suspensions can be issued. However simply spiking the call is not considered "excessive celebration". Jumping onto the outer wall to accept contact from fans, such as a leap is also not considered such, as it is off the field of play. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHT ON THIS RULE? WE WANT TO KNOW

Words from the Creator, Tania Milberg

" Lets face it, dancing makes our body do things we never imagined were possible. And unless you are like me, the only dancing being done is in clubs or at a local pub to the beat of what the jute box plays, which is often out of our control and not always the most fun to dance too. I created this blog so that I could get in touch with dancers and together we could blog everything dance: music, culture, steps and how it makes us feel within our bodies. I want to relate with other dancers who feel as passionate about the culture of dance as I do. I hope to collaborate with all kinds of dancers moderate, beginners, intermediate, experts, and the ones beyond my imagination about styles and form. I love music suggestions. Suggestions is KEY to the success of this blog. Although this site is engineered by me, it was made to be powered by you, the sculptor. Together we can shape this blog into a dance directory with your questions, comments, and suggestions, and opinion! Let's create a platform where dancers can embrace today's beautiful and addicting culture of dance. Yours truly, Milly " (Tania Milberg, Founder)
