Hello.

My name is Dan Salvato. I have gone to CTY Lancaster Session 1 for all of my years of CTY, and I dream to become an RA there after my senior year in high school. I am probably most well-known for my breakdancing during the Talent Show, and taking turns with the ravers at the dances during the songs "Sandstorm" and "James Brown is Dead." I also take the game Four-Square to a very extreme level, and I bring my own ball every year.

I have invented a dance known as the DMD, or the Dr. Mario Dance. It is done to the Dr. Mario theme song, as composed for the game "Super Smash Bros. Melee." The dance involves quickly leaning from one direction to the other while pumping your arms sideways in the direction of the way you lean - it is very hard to describe.

You can see a video of the dance here. You can download the video here.

Also, here is a video of one of my breakdancing moves, the windmill. It took me an entire year to learn, and I'm very happy that I can finally do it.

During Passionfruit in my third year of CTY (2007), the Holy Grail of the Son was passed on to me by Tina Ritter. The Holy Grail of the Son represents creativity, creating new CTY tradition, and staying fresh and on top of things. It is an incredible honor to be given possession of the Grail, and I hope it will be passed into worthy hands for years to come.

During CTY 2007, I was roommates with Zev Hurwich. I consider this a blessing, as that was Zev's last year as a CTY student and he was that year's Father of CTY. I hope to see him again, sometime in the future...

If you ever need a hug, I will be happy to give you them for as long as you like. I love CTY and I love each and every one of you, and I hope you share the experience as much as I do.

-Dan
