Vegas' Mad Squad dancers get going, showing all the latest moves. - Contributed THE LITTLE Pub Sports Bar on Main Street in Ocho Rios, St. Ann, was the hippest place in the parish last Saturday night.
The venue was packed with females, who strolled in constantly before 12 midnight to avoid paying the $300 entrance fee. The men were not as lucky and had to pay to enter, however, they were not to regret this.
Some minutes after 11:00 p.m., a circle was formed in the centre of the dance floor and all hell broke loose. A very large lady, who took over the spotlight as she moved her 'twin tower' belly to the songs being dropped by the in-house disc jocks, soon disturbed this circle. An aged man also created some waves in the venue when he began dancing up a storm.
Things went over the edge when the huge lass got a hold of the aged man and began 'wining' him to a wreck. He retreated to the protection of a rail nearby soon after.
DANCE MOVES DOMINATE
Everyone in the well-populated venue proved that they possessed some aeronautical knowledge as they were busy 'signalling the plane'. The crowd was charged and when Beenie Man's Row Di Boat was paused for a few seconds, the patrons began to get restless, they wanted to continue dancing.
Space on the dance floor got scarce as persons who were busy having a drink in the outskirts of the venue went in to start burning cholesterol.
The highlight of the moment was two females, who had taken centrestage and put on a spontaneous 'dance-off' competition. The competition looked like it would have continued right throughout the night, but ended abruptly when one of the contestants seemed to have lost some personal belongings.
The patrons enjoyed it while lasted.
The highly-charged patrons, who erupted for whatever song the selectors played, were soon partially traumatised by a young crew from Portmore which calls itself the 'Map Cap Crew'.
Big A of IRIE FM, who was conducting MC duties, introduced the group some minutes after 1 a.m. He noted that they would not be forgotten after their performance and he was indeed correct. The crowd, which previously seemed to react noisily but positively to anything played, soon grew tired of the group's lacklustre performance. The Mad Cap Crew will not be forgotten in Little Pub since they were successful in 'killing the vibes' of a very energetic crowd.
The feature act was successful in resurrecting the dead vibes. Taking the stage in an unbuttoned cowboy-looking vest and black pants with his underwear peeping over the waist, Vegas took the place apart with some of his more familiar lyrics.
The once very popular deejay then had the crowd under his control as he interacted with them verbally and lyrically. His Mad Squad dancers added 'flavour' to his stint.
When Mr. Vegas wrapped up his performance some minutes to three, after being called on for two encores, the patrons returned to dancing. They danced into the wee hours of the morning as if there was no tomorrow.
