Video: Step Up 3: Pirates vs Red Hook (Happy Birthday Stephen "tWitch" Boss!)

I want to wish Stephen "tWitch" Boss a very Happy Birthday! He may no longer be here but all of his fans won't forget his love and passion for dancing. If you are experiencing mental health issues please make sure you get help.

Below is one of my favorite dance battles in Step Up 3 between the Pirates and Red Hook. I thought Red Hook was actually really good. However, thanks to Jason's (tWitch's character) strong moves and Vladd the Robot's robotic moves, that's how the Pirates were able to win that round. Jason was really the star of this performance.

Happy International Dance Day! (Video: Step Up 4: Corporate Flash Mob)

To all my fellow dancers (professional, amateur, aspiring or dancing for fun), Happy International Dance Day! Here's one of my favorite dance scenes from Step Up 4: Revolution where The Mob staged a flash mob at the office of the real estate firm which was planning to gentrify their Miami neighborhood.

RIP Stephen "tWitch" Boss

I was thinking about Stephen "tWitch" Boss and then I saw this video by Lewis Howes which I figured I'd post. tWitch was an inspiration to so many dancers and from so many of the comments and tributes I've read, he showed tremendous amounts of compassion for others. Although I'm not a professional dancer, I do love to dance and I've been a fan of tWitch's for quite a while. I really feel for his family and friends and send them plenty of love because although we were his fans, those that personally knew him are dealing with a lot.

In Remembrance: Stephen "tWitch" Boss

In saddening news, it's being reported that Stephen "tWitch" Boss has died at the age of 40 years old. It's also being reported that he committed suicide. Although tWitch was most known for being the DJ and later co-host on the talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show. He was also an actor and dancer. He played the character Jason in one of my favorite dance movie franchises, Step Up (movies Step Up 3, Step Up 4: Revolution and Step Up 5: All In) and was in the recently released The Hip Hop Nutcracker on Disney+.

I've posted this before (and I'll continue to post it) but if you find yourself struggling or feeling overwhelmed by mental health issues please seek help. In the US, the national suicide prevention hotline number is 988, please call and talk to someone if you need to.
