Dessert
Anyone who knows me knows that I lack rhythm. Yeah, I know that I'm a black girl from Chicago, but apparently I was absent the day they handed out the rhythm cards at school.

However, my lack of 8-count recognition abilities does NOT keep me from putting together some hot dance routines in the privacy of my own home, and it shouldn't stop you either. Get your groove on!
