He Bangs!

Ricky Martin’s look stunned me when I first saw him sing “The Cup of Life” for FIFA World Cup hosted by France in 1998. His face was so structured and symmetric like Roman statue gloriously sculptured by Michael Angelo. And everything that was associated with him seemed fine. That was always the benefit of that kind of look. One of his hit singles, “She Bangs”, has come to the studio with energy-draining dance steps that would make anyone overwhelmingly soaking wet. Those body waves, jumps, Latin steps, and head turns made my sweat flowing from every pore to cover my eyes. And the spotlight turned lens-flared without the need of any camera filter. I couldn’t even count how many hips swings and turns I have made in the 7^th heaven until the song faded. Again, Prince Kimji, he screamed and shouted to cheer his crews to dance as if the floor was on fire.

“She bangs, She bangs…”

Swing your hips to the front twice – Double jump to the right and to the left

“She moves, She moves…”

Swing your hips in turning half round to the right, body wave with right leg front and left leg front

“She looks like a flower but stings like a bee”

Box step and shoulders shaking

“Like every girl in history…”

Quick turn, Jump, Latin double steps, and turn!

I could not dance without him screaming and shouting.

“Kick floor change! Kick floor change!” I could hear him screamed over and over in my head. In my blanket, I kicked and kicked with my eyes tightly closed. No! I wasn’t dreaming.

Prince Kimji’s look was nothing similar to that of Ricky Martin.

But he bangs, he really bangs.
