Head cutting is not what you think it is. This is an old form of dance competition started by black tap dancers as early as 1828 but modified in the early \u201820s and \u201830s. Head cutting allows a tap dancer to do a step and the challenger would have to imitate the step until a winner emerges. The winner will have to \u201ccut the head\u201d of the losers by performing a step or steps that an opponent cannot duplicate. <\/p>\n
The Close Up Club and the seniors of Kagman High School will be sponsoring such a competition as the organizations\u2019 fundraising project for their off-island trips to Washington and Micronesia. Entitled \u201cHead Cutting \u2013 Bust a Move Saturday,\u201d this is a dance-off competition to determine the best teenage dancer on Saipan, complemented by in-house music from local DJs.<\/p>\n
Also, the school has lined up several other competitive activities such as \u201cRump Shaking,\u201d another dance contest; \u201cTrivia Night,\u201d a Q&A competition about Micronesia; \u201cBattle of the Bands,\u201d a band competition; \u201cMystery Night,\u201d a masquerade party; and other activities.<\/p>\n
The dance will be from 7pm to 10pm and will also feature a live band called \u201cThe Tropic 3\u201d composed of students from Kagman High.<\/p>\n
The project intends \u201cto provide teens a means of entertainment on the weekend that will be healthy\u201d and to raise funds for the school\u2019s educational activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
