My brother took his kids and some of my other friends were chaperons for their youth group. They said there were over 18,000 kids there! NAYC has been bigger, and better, than GC for years now.

Re: UPC Upper Body Synchronized Dancing
Upper body sync dancing is fine, but I don't want to see any lower body gyrations!

And by the way, I thought I saw some "lower body synchronized dancing" in that video. Not being critical of the young folks, just passing on an opinion! It was great. Feel sorry for the two young men, tho. I believe there were two.

Been Thunkin', you are correct that the 75' GC was in Ft. Worth. The departure conference for KP and MH was actually a few years later (I think 78'. I should remember because I was there)

I met with some folks this past weekend who were there and they said around 20,000 young people were there.
i was at the very first Youth Congress back in 1979. It was nowhere near that big but for a first time event very successful as there was thousands of young people there.

Re: UPC Upper Body Synchronized Dancing
I was trying to find a good video of the sign team from Tupelo Children's Mansion that I saw a few years ago. This is the only one I found. The camera is handheld and at various times people stand in front of it BUT you can see that these guys are really synchronized and very good.

Thanks 
I've always had a small soft spot for people who sign while singing.

Re: UPC Upper Body Synchronized Dancing
I love synchronized dancing, but I think it's interesting that they have to throw sign language in there to make it "okay".

Re: UPC Upper Body Synchronized Dancing
The church I used to attend started a 'sign choir' or whatever, meaning they do what they do from the choir stand.
The began this I think as a way for the deaf in the church to have something productive to do...take part as it were.
There are deaf folks in this group as well as hearing folks, and it is beautiful to see.
At the church I now attend, the children have a group 'Signs of Praise'. It is so neat to see the children, some very young, signing.
And by the way, we have deaf members of our church as well.
I do not consider what these 2 groups do as dancing or entertainment at all...
