“Yeahhhhhh!”
“Make some noise!”
“Yeahhhhhh!”
I started playing. The bass was
bumping, my crew was dancing, and
everyone was having a great time.
The teachers, the chaperones, the
parents, hundreds of kids—they
were all dancing like crazy. Our set
was scheduled for fifteen minutes,
and at the ten-minute mark came
the moment for me to play “Let’s
Get Dirty,” bring out my star
dancer, and shut shit down.
I started the song, the dancers
fanned out in their semicircle, and I
got on the mic.
