OK! OK! So there still is some confusion over this DDR video clip, and the details. All I know is that someone posted a clip of me performing on a DDR machine, and some people felt that I was in the wrong. Well, I mean, it was just a MISUNDERSTANDING, it was my first time on a DDR stage, and performing in that enviornment so I was alittle off, but I think you can still see my fast fast fast feet!!!! For those that haven't seen it, here is the video, and my official response statement.

"My life is a dance. Won't you clap along?"
Myspacers :)
I must confess, I'm new to this whole myspace thing.
But my sister, Caitlin Kay, told me that it's a great way
to reach out to other like-minded souls who share a similar passion.
And, well, in case you can't tell from my photos, what puts the burn in this
boy's loins is Irish Step Dancing...
Am I the best out there right now? That's not for me to say.
But close friends and family often ask me, "how the heck do you move your
feet so fast, Shawnie?! "I usually just point to the sky, smile, and say
"Dunno, you have to ask Him."
When I'm dancing, and my audience expects me to do a spin, I'll do a triple,
or a triple-and-a-half spin, and you should see the look on their faces!
When they expect 8 high clicks, I give them 12. I'm always pushing it past
the place I should go, but also know that I HAVE to go there.
You know, It really irks me the way so-called Riverdancers like Michael "Lord of the
Dance" (IN HIS OWN MIND!) Flatley sold out to make a quick buck. I have the
HEART, the FIRE, and the TRUE CELTIC SOUL of a Riverdancer. I am a HUMBLE
vessel to the spirit of the dance and it has nothing to do with vanity, or
needing to see my name in lights... although this is my ultimate dream.
Sure, I get the fact that not everyone appreciates Riverdancing. Some people
just call me "a silly little jigger". Okay, I
try not to take myself TOO seriously, but that's just plain ignorance. This
is a hundred year old tradition. GET A LIFE!
Well, I guess the point of this is not to reach out to the RD haters (you
know who you are, and the hell with you), but instead, those who are as
equally moved by a majestic line of hard shoe dancers, arms at sides, backs
ramrod straight, doing it simply for the love of the dance.
So, to those souls who LOVE it, and LIVE FOR IT, please, I want to hear from
you! And if there's anyone reading this from the entertainment industry, or the Bravo channel (or anyone else for that matter), go to a little site I put together --
www.fastfastfastfeet.com -- that displays my unique, God given gift!!! With
tremendous pride, (and okay, maybe a WEE bit of cockiness), I can look you
right in the eye and tell you that there's no one out there right now with
faster feet ... or a faster beating heart.
As the Gaelic say, Ta' fa'ilte romhat!!!!
