Natalie Whipple Does The Dance Of Shame

So when I realized it was my turn to be Truth Or Dared this week, I went to my Thirteeners "friends" and was all, "Oh crap! I almost forgot! What should I do?"

And then Renee said I should dance because sometimes I brag about my Just Dance skills. Everyone found this to be THE BEST idea and I somehow agreed to it. But the thing is?

I'm terrified to dance in public. Just Dance is awesome because I can do it at home when no one is looking and get a good workout while having fun. I would never actually dance where I could risk someone seeing me. No joke—this is one of my top fears.

This is why you don't ask your friends to dare you—they know your weaknesses.

I had to take specific measures just to be able to stand in front of the camera. First I got glasses, which works out because everyone voted for Gangnam Style and PSY wears glasses. Thank you, PSY, for your excellent fashion choices.

Then I enlisted back up dancers, because I could do this alone. They were much more excited to perform than me, and even dressed up for the occasion. After that there was nothing to do but wait in terror as the song loaded:


Here's the video. I haven't watched it since I edited it. Feel free to stop the viewing any time. I totally understand. Or you can just NOT watch it. I'd be cool with that, too. Really, really cool with it. (But for the record, the back up dancers ARE pretty awesome. And thanks to my poor husband for having to document this horrific scene.)

  2. ADORABLE! First of all, Natalie, I bow to your dance skills. Truly. You can dance circles around me, and that's a fact. :)

    And could your kids be any cuter??? I love how your son started improvising at the end, laying in between your legs with some ground moves. Clearly he inherited him mom's SKILLZZ.

  4. Oh, my, that was just...BRILLIANT! Natalie, you've seriously got some mad dancing skills. It's about time you went public. You didn't miss a beat! I think we should have a writers' Just Dance party. I'll be the one with coordinated arms while my feet struggle to keep up with me. ;-)

  19. Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely
    long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying
    your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any helpful hints for novice blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
