Description This is a re-draw of the original 2008 drawing of my conceptual "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" dancer

Oneday in Autumn 2004, while I was in my bedroom, I had a daydream, when I was in a Christmas/Winter dance recital, and dancing to Fred Astaire's version of "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" ([link] ), in a costume/outfit exactly like this.

I'm very happy of how this came out, especially with the colors & shading. I hope you all will enjoy!

Drawn on White Printing Paper, with a No. 2 pencil (and in my own traditional art style), fixed, cleaned-up, colored & shaded by using Adobe Photodeluxe Home Edtion 3.0., and finalized on MS Paint (for thin boarder, colored bubbles, and artists' signature).

"Santa Claus is Coming to Town" (song) was written by J. Fred Coots & Haven Gillespie in 1934 and recorded by many various artists

I enjoy doing many different kinds of dancing; free-style, hip-hop, a bit of ballet/pointe, broadway & musical-inspired dancing, techno dancing, cheerleading dance moves, and I also like trying out dance moves inspired by Japanese Anime Music Videos (such as the Haruhi Suzumiya Dance Video, for an example: [link] ).

I actually was a member of a Hip-Hop Dance Club in (Private) Jr. High School back in 2002-2003. There I learned some dance moves inspired by Michael Jackson, and for one of our three dances, we played his song called "2000 Watts". We also did the "Cotton Eyed Joe" and a song by Monica (in which I can't seem to find out the name of song it was that we danced to).

I now would love to get involved in my local Praise Dance Group, which is a dance class where they teach certain dance moves, while playing religious & bible-type music, all involving around praising and honoring our savior & lord... Jesus Christ. I was first inspired into wanting to take part, while watching their previous public performance (recital), during the Art Show that I attended last month. The costumes they wear are especially beautiful, and I can easily imagine myself wearing one.

Thank you, my friend.

I'm very pleased with the style I used for this re-draw, compared to the original artpiece (in which I still think is really cute today, but I personally see some pretty good improvement in this one).
