Air Guitar

So I know we briefly started to discuss air guitar in today's class & will continue that discussion on Thursday. Air guitar was a huge deal at my high school - it was an annual event that took place during the spring, people had to buy tickets to attend, and the school would sell air guitar DVD's which included all the acts from that year's event. A lot of the acts created some really cool, funny, and entertaining performances. Some copied dance moves directly from already existing music videos, while others made up their own choreography. Those these are slightly different from the clip we watched today, here are a couple links to some air guitar performances from my high school. The first was during my junior year, it's to N*Sync's "Dirty Pop" and actually won first place that year. The second is a bunch of my friends dancing to Aqua's "Dr. Jones" during the following year's event. Enjoy!

  1. I think it's really cool your school had these competitions. It's different from a typical talent show and since these songs are popular, people could definitely enjoy the performance and possibly sing & dance in the crowd. The "Dr. Jones" video was really cute with all the nurses and for "Dirty Pop" you could tell the guys worked hard to incorporate N*Sync's dance moves into their performance. It was very enjoyable.
