RIP Aaliyah.
Just have to throw that out first. As a tall, skinny, little girl, I was often just the one that bopped to the beat at dances and parties. I had been in several dance classes, many with performances, but never felt as self conscious dancing then as I did surrounded by people my own age. Aaliyah and the choreographed dances in her videos were the inspiration I needed to start shaking my booty. Seeing her videos made me realize that I could toss on some baggy pants and dance to my hearts content with out feeling self conscious. I spent many days in front of my t.v. following along with the moves and feeling pretty fantastic. Did I go to the dance and bust a move in the middle of a crowd like they did in the movies? Heck no. But I could have if I needed to. When this song in particular, Are You That Somebody, came out, I was really into hip hop and dance music. There was a lame dance club in AZ that was all ages and this song was on the first time I went there, I danced to it with my friend and we threw in some flamenco moves from the video. Some older guys said that we were sexy and we ran away from them laughing and saying "gross". This song reminds me that older guys trying to hook up with little girls at all ages dance clubs are not that somebody.
