As for the other theme of this year’s Croaker Relay – the dance contest honoring the pop-star who died at the age of 50 last week? Turtle had an even more personal explanation: “Because I turn 50 this year”.

The competitors did not disappoint:

Organizer Turtle Midyette demonstrating Jackson’s “The Girl is Mine”

Team Rhudy interpreting that lesser-known Jackson tune, “Touch The One You Love”

Selva and Bora Staub going for “Bad.”

Team Twins goes for the operatic dip-‘em-low style that Michael Jackson never wrote a song for.

The crowd was treated to some moon-walking and one-gloved gestures. (It should be reported that in these improv performaces, sailing and biking gloves outnumbered sequined gloves, though one purple glove made an appearance.)

The crowd reacted and a first runner-up was determined:

First runners up: Team Twins – Derrick Wong, Jessica Arraya, Mary Barnard and Marcia Webster

And finally, to make up for a winnerless Croaker Relay 2008, a winner to the 2009 Croaker Relay was named: Team Rhudy.

Team Rhudy showing the spoils: Jessica Baluss, Ty Rhudy, Shelley Rhudy, Evett Rhudy and artist Sue Henry

This came as no surprise to stander-by (and Shelly Rhudy’s father) Greg Piner who says Jessica and Shelley “have been doing Jackson moves since growing up in the 80s….”
