Back then all the freestyle / euro dance artists used to be on there all the time, and they gave DJ's a chance to showcase and promote themeselves. In my opinion, this show should have never gone away. Everyone in high school (back then) watched it on sunday mornings on city tv while doing homework (at least not the bums that didnt give 2 ****s about school).....
I have a few friends that danced on electric circus, and trust me, some people laugh but they only laugh coz they did not have the balls to go on tv and shake it.... EC is the goods!
I wander if she will make an appearance this year....
As if!!!!
She is now the co-anchor for the 6:00 news in B.C. (The equivalent of what Anne McCrowzyky or whatever her name is is here in T.O.) If you have the time shift thingy from Rogers you can see her there. Not that I have, but i"m sure you could. If you so desired.
Oh, and BTW, WONDER, LB... W-O-N-D-E-R... do you want me to throw rocks at you?
