CENTER FIELD :: Dance Off!

Dance Off!

The epic battle is looming. If you thought Sunday's Cookie-Off was going to be riveting TV, just imagine if we get ahold of video footage of the Red Sox Dance-Off happening Saturday night at Mike Lowell's charity fundraising event.

We know Papelbon likes to jig (or an approximation thereof).
Beckett will join in with the awkward two-step he does.
David Ortiz should show off those breakdance moves he tried to teach Papelbon.
And apparently Coco can breakdance as well.

The question is... can we get any of them into a white leisure suit?

I swear to god I will pay like insanely good money to watch this or get pictures from this. I will pay a lot. I'm not kidding you. Seriously. This just made my (expletive deleted) day.

Also, I REALLY wanna see someone do the Carlton Dance.

the Carlton dance is all Julio Lugo...

rumor has it that Coco Crisp can breakdance like his starting position is at stake - HA! (but no seriously- I heard he can -which, given how acrobatic he is at center, makes perfect sense)

p.s. white leisure suit?Bobby Kielty's totally got that one covered. He and Brandon "Night at the Roxbury" Moss will see you there. bring your boogie shoes!

Youk will do is Okie Dokie dance

JD Drew will try to do some sort of line dance....Cotton Eyed Joe.

Jacoby will so do the Electric Slide. Him and Clay....*remembers elementary school gym class*

Kielty and Moss as teh Roxbury guys just totally made me laugh, btw.

If anybody actually does swing dancing....they will win at everything. Seriously.

I also imagine someone doing the robot. For some reason Tek pops into mind

Piney - I will split the cost with you..and maybe even throw my first born into the pot! Someone has GOT to get a video of that. AND..if anyone can do it, our girl TG most certainly can!

I'm definitely not surprised Coco can dance. Now, if only someone could get Jacoby to dance... (/fangirl)

Seriously, though. Someone NEEDS to videotape this. NEEDS to.

Jacoby and Kelsey will swing or ballroom dance. in addition to the spinning class, pilates, and yoga classes Jacoby took in the off-season, he also managed to fit in a ballroom class...with his mom.

other thoughts: Pedroia is totally doing the frat guy doggystyle booty-slapping dance. and Youkilis is the guy in the middle of the circle doing the worm while the other guys cheer him on. You KNOW this is happening as we speak.
