Friday @ Shark Bar Hotel

On May 23, 2008, in Hip Hop, RnB, Shark Hotel, by J T

There wasn’t much intention to go dancing tonight. Me, Brojo, Srey, Ashley, Mandy are just chatting in Shark Bar … one of the girls notices that there was a dancefloor in this place. It was on the otherside.. once the music gets louder, we decide to have a bit of a dance.

There were probably about 3 circles. Ourselves, the americans, and some other asians.

Timeline

Music
The DJ played entire songs without any mixing.. I could definitely tell the difference now. Some songs felt like going forever. The 1 – 2 seconds of silence between each song was a little awkward. The DJ’s at the proper RNB places cut it short and keep the crowd going. However, this *is* shark bar.. its not meant to be a club.

American Line Dancing
There were a group of african americans doing what they do, shaking their booty and line dancing. Wtf? It was quite a nice sight to see.. there were about 10 of them line dancing to the music. Eventually the whole dancefloor joined in and followed their steps. It was two steps right, two steps left, two back, one forward, turn and repeat. Hard to explain, harder to learn.

American grinder
I saw an old asian guy dancing on his own, he was having his crotch massaged up and down by one of the american girls who had a quite large rump. She was the paint roller and he was the wall. He simply stood there and she painted him. He was enjoying it, and gave me a little reminder of what I’d probably be upto when I’m 50.

Ourselves
We formed our circle and danced throughout.. not much neither could do to each other… Srey was off the hook again, she seems like absolute rnb fanatic as she knows every single word to every song. I would grind her right then and there if I could! Brojo doing some great moves. I was doing my own little thing.
Coda
Girls left 1.30am ish, we boys left soon after. I thought Friday night would have been more dead, but it seemed like an okay night for some free dancing. Perhaps Pure @ skygardens would have been better (like we were bothered going)
