Strobes' winning entry into the Anthrocon 2019 Fursuit Dance Competition Finals! Dad... Senpai... teach me your ways. Strobes once again lit up the Anthrocon main stage with an electric performance. Congratulations!

[@asafupps]

For people saying they could dance better, keep in mind that these dancers are doing them in rugs. Thank you for your time

That suit looks like it's been designed for dancing in, lighter, stretchier and more fitted than a typical fursuit.. Methinks Strobes is a furry dancing cat monster!

You see someone in school saying furries suck, show them one of these videos and tell them to “try and be this good at dancing while it feels like its 120 degrees outside except its inside and you are wearing a giant fluffy animal costume. Yeah? Yeah? Alright come back to me when you have this level of talent.” I literally caused a bully to stop bulling everyone in the school until the next school year with this.

You say exactly.. but i really do hope you get out there and show your moves, but don't do exactly what he does, but still, please! If you have that talent to dance in that style, please definitely get out there and do what you love. There is no rush to get a fursuit, it just gives your more time to practice and improve a little bit on what you can do! Just remember, word things a little differently next time because you said exactly in this comment, I get what you mean, you mean in the same sort of style of that he dances in just careful how you word somethings, I wish you good luck with your talent and your dream, I hope you achieve it!
