Dancing with the Hard Hats








This one you have to see to believe. In Great Britain construction workers building a ballet center decided to see for themselves what ballet dancing was all about. Their experiences were both funny and interesting. Funny because most people don't assume that ballet and construction are a good mix. Interesting because these construction workers wanted to find out about what they were building. Think they might go on tour? Wonder what their significant others think? Me, I was laughing all over seeing this on the news the other night!




Watch the news broadcast.




What do you think of this? Tell us in a paragraph.

The video was very strange. It was a little awkward and strange. Overall the video wasn't as funny as I though it was going to be.

This video was very different. You dont see construction people doing ballet. It just not normal. It was very interesting.

Unknown said...

It takes a very confident person to were a tutu. I think that it was cool for the workers to do all that for charity. Though I will admit it was a little weird.

Hello mr. Downing, how are you doing? The video displayed on you blog site, was quite interesting. It was nice to see hard workers take time off to do somthing nice for charity, even though it was strange to see grown men in tight skirts.

The video was atrocious. The britsh accent wasnt that british. I think it would be funny if they showed up on dancing with the stars. I still wouldn't watch it.

Unknown said...

The video was strange. It was also funny. I think the guys should stick to there regular job instead of danceing though. All and all the guys were still hot.

Unknown said...

This video is interesting. I can't belive that construction workers are doing ballet! This is very strange, but very funny.

Unknown said...

Mr. Downing, I thought the ballet video was quite comical. Although it was not as funny as you said it was. I enjoy watching little videos in class though, because it grabs my attention. The guys had very sexy accents.

I think the video was hilarious. Also kind of stupid and weird but, it was for a good cause. Most people would have never done that so I think there brave for doing it, nice job.

I think that the video was not as funny as i thought it would be. it was pretty funny though. Also I thought it looked very starnge.

Unknown said...

I think the video was awkard. It was fun to see construction workers in tutu's, but overall the video was good. It was something new.

Unknown said...

Hey, Mr. Downing I though that the video was unusual. We don't Usually see men in tights. I though that it was kind of funny though .

Unknown said...

I think that the men on the video should stay with their day job. They should just build the new center and don't think about trying to dance. Even though it was funny seeing them trying to dance.

Well I think the video was weird and creepy. But im glad the construction workers did it for charity. Overall I rather watch the commercial.

I think that video was a little bit on the strange side. But it was pretty funny also. I would watch it a again.

I think that the video was strange. It was very brave of those men, to preform as they did in front of the whole world. But it was a good thing they raised money for charity. :)

Unknown said...

I think that the video was weird. Watching grown men with tutus on was very strange. I guess they did a good job because they got a lot of money for the dancing floor.

Dez said...

Well that was very interesting. I saw that on the news the other day and it was weird. I think it was great to do something for charity, though.

jzilla said...

It's a rather funny video. It was a good idea on the builders part by doing it for charity. Those guys sure do have a lot of guts. I sure wouldn't do that.

Silky said...

Admittedly, that was more than a little disturbing. I have to give them credit, because I wouldn't be caught dead in a tutu, even if my life depended on it. So, a big kudos from the U.S. of A.

Racquel said...

Okay, that has to be the most embarrassing thing those guys have ever done. They must have a lot of pride to wear those tutus on tv. I really love British accents so the video was pretty entertaining. They should get longer tutus, though.

muzykr said...

The video wasn't what I expected it to be but it was still interesting. It was funny watching construction workers do ballet. It was very sweet of them to dance to raise money for charity.

I have to say that this very MaryAlice but its cool that you let her choose the topic. Over all it was awsome thatthey took the time to learn this skill. I hope the students will get to pick the topic more often. Good job MaryAlice

brooke said...

Mr. Downing that video was so funny. I think that it was nice of those construction workers to do ballet for charity and embarras themselves. Thanks for showing me this video.

Unknown said...

I picked this video!:) This video was pretty awesome. Who would've thought of construction workers in tutus? They could have definitely left out their butts, but it was still pretty funny. I loved their accents, I am definitely going to marry a guy that has a British accent one day!

Unknown said...

I think that the video was very interesting. It shows that if you want to know something you might as well try it. It shows that the men weren't scared to learn something new for a charity.

Unknown said...

I think that the men in the video were really confident and had a great amount of high self-esteem! The video was also kind of strange because its not like most guys would actual put a tutu on. This video was a good example of how far someone would go to help someone else out.

domr said...

That idea was outragous. I wouldn't pay money to see them and I wouldn't have done that either, but since they raised a lot of money for a good cause, i will reserve judgement.

Unknown said...

The video was kind of funny, for the men to be in their little tutu's bending over! It's sweet that they are doing it for charity. Not normal but sweet!

Mr. Downing... I must admit, this video is not worth publishing on the internet.

Until Next Time
