Daily Dancer

This definately required a blog entry. I laughed sooo hard when i saw it. I was telling Alana (sister in-law) about my blog, and she mentioned her friend's friend "The Daily Dancer" - - this def caught my attention... a dorky guy that dances everyday infront of a camera and then blogs about it!!! soooo entertaining... and i def couldn't pass up the opportunity to share this with people.

The following is an article in a vancouver newspaper about the daily dancer. You absolutely have to check out this site!!!

VANCOUVER -- The Internet has made many strange celebrities over the years, and now a Vancouver man is quickly discovering what it's like to become famous overnight.
Darrell Lahey, 28, is an admittedly geeky looking software developer with a secret passion for dancing.

In Christmas 2004, his girlfriend captured him boogying to some grooves on her digital camera. A few days later, she showed it to her brother, who thought it could be a web hit. He was right. Someone linked the video to a Norwegian website, which then got linked to another website and on and on it went. And so, the Daily Dancer was born.In its first three weeks, Dailydancer.com registered 87,000 hits, and now averages up to 2,000 hits a day.

His routines, often consisting of flailing arms and kicking feet, were initially updated with a new posts everyday -- but has since been reduced to three times a week because the daily routine was simply too much work.

Dancing in his living room, he uses brooms, vacuum cleaners -- and an ever-present blue execrise ball -- as props. His girlfriend's mother makes guest appearances. Songs include “My Humps” by the Black Eyed Peas, Aqua’s “Barbie Girl," and Styx’s “Mr. Roboto.”
