Dancing With Death

Man Dies In Conn. Dance Faceoff

A Connecticut man has died while trying to outdo a rival while “battle dancing” in a parking lot. Authorities have urged people to leave dancing to the experts: “They watch a Fred Astaire movie or a Michael Jackson video and they think ‘That looks easy, I’ll give it a go.’ But they don’t realize that on TV it’s all done with trick photography and trained stunt men. A real person can’t do a double somersault and land on their head in a parking lot. It’s just not safe.”
