Darrin's Dance Grooves: It's the thought that counts


Reggie and I had a dance routine in college.  It was based on Kid 'N' Play and some other moves that Reggie threw in . . maybe he picked them up from high school in Gloucester. 

A couple of years ago, when he still lived in NY, Jonathan, Reggie and I were at Chip's place.  The three of us were standing around the coffee table - I think it was New Year's.  The TV was on and an ad for Darrin's Dance Grooves came on.


Reggie said to Jonathan, "Hey! I was going to get that for you for Christmas!"


Then Jonathan said, "Ha! I was going to get that for Kane for Christmas!"
Then I said, "I was going to get that for Reggie for Christmas!"

"I'm not sure where that story was going, but here is the real scoop on how I came across Grooves. So, I am hanging out at my parents house in the basement with my little cousin, Elijah. I was drunk and he was underage, so he definitely wasn’t having my fun. After a few sips of Kentucky’s finest I turned on the television. Being as late as it was, I could only find infomercials on the set. Low and behold, I notice this guy who supposedly had been the choreographer for N’Sync, Britney, and many of the other best dancers in the world. I was amazed. I made Elijah run to get a pen so that we could write down the number. 1.866. . . . . I was ready to make the call. Reggie: Hello, I would like to get the video. Rep: I am sorry sir, this call center handles fifty toll-free order lines. Reggie: I would like to order Darren’s Dance Grooves, of course. Rush delivery, please.  Shipping and billing information is exchanged. Rep: Thank you, Mr. Jackson. Have a great night. I was so damn happy. I didn’t leave the house for days. I couldn’t wait to dance like the stars. Three days pass and no video. On the sixth day (standard ground shipment), the video arrived. Soon everyone would see that I, Reggie Jackson, had moves. I put the video in and Darren has a thirty minute introduction. He is philoso-lying about how dance has changed lives. I needed him to shut up and show me the moves. Finally, we get to it. We start off with N’Sync. Darren is going a little fast, but that is o.k. since we have the wonder of rewind technology. Darren has me hip. I’m doing it – Ain’t no lie, BYE, BYE, BYE!!!! Hell yeah. Then it happened. Darren says, “O.K., you’ve got it.” And then they just play the N’Sync video. Days of waiting and rush delivery charges only to have what I could have seen on MTV. Damn. I got stuck for my papers."
