= Cirodance
{c}
During his teenage years, Ciro created an innovative new dance style combining elements of the various corporal practices that he studied a bit of across the years:
* Kung Fu/Taichi
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_(Brazilian_dance)\#Samba_Ax%C3%A9[Brazilian Axé] and Capoeira
* Breakdance
* Yoga
* Modern dance
Ciro later called this style Cirodance.
Ciro's legendary dance style was famous during his university years, when Ciro would go to parties and dance like made while mostly unsuccessfully trying to woo girls.
Ciro has always been critical of dancing conditions in University parties, where people would <enter through the narrow gate>[always be cramped up doing boring non-creative moves]. Rather, Ciro would go to to the edges of the dance floor to have enough space for his amazing moves. There is a perhaps a parallel between such tendencies and Ciro's <high flying bird vs gophers>[highly innovative personality]. Also perhaps being cramped would have helped wooing said girls.
Ciro later quit dancing, to a large extent because it is too hard to find suitable dancing locations outside: <Europe> is too cold much of the year, also ground conditions have to be perfect, and no patience to book a dance room somewhere. Kid's playgrounds are <ideal>, but Ciro is afraid of dancing there because kids parent's would freak out.
Therefore, all evidence of Cirodance seems to have disappeared into the depths of the Internet. There used to be a notorious video on YouTube from around June 2010 entitled "A Piriguete da Poli !!" ("<University of São Paulo>[Poli's] bitch" in Portuguese) with comment "Sem comentarios... foi a atraçao da cervejada" (No comments... was the main attraction of the beer party) dancing the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfrdu7i56Mg[Piriguete by MC Papo] Brazilian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk_carioca[Funk carioca] song. But the video was removed at some point, they were likely afraid of getting sued, the URL was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T969azGjIeE[] as shown at https://www.facebook.com/cirosantilli/posts/133333123357495[], but this was before Ciro noticed that every good thing on the web goes down and became an obsessive <web archiving>[web archiver]. But in any case, the title gives an idea of the amazing style of Ciro's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_inspiration[furor poeticus] Axé performance on that day. If the video owner ever reads this message, please please restore the video, or send Ciro a copy. TODO: which channel was it on? Knowing that Ciro would be able to try and contact them.
One legendary episode linked to Cirodance was when Ciro was living in <Paris> and jobless around 2014 (but not destitute as he leached from his girlfriend). Cirodance was his main physical activity at the time, and <Place de la République>, where the skateboarders hung out due to the perfect wide concrete floor and relatively close to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_de_la_Bastille[Bastille] where Ciro lived, was the perfect place for it. One cold dark winter evening, Ciro was practicing Cirodance with his headphones and crappy clothes (dirty public square floor, remember), when someone took him for a homeless person and offered him a bowl of soup! It must be said that Place de la République had many events of giving food to the poor. Ciro was a bit stunned, declined, and continued dancing. And so that was the day when a prestigious <École Polytechnique>[Polytechnicien] was mistaken for a homeless person. And Ciro <Ciro Santilli's psychology and physiology>[liked that].
As of 2021, <Googling> "cirodance" leads to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyvv4ddL2so "Ciro Dance" in which comedian "Ciro Priello" (no <Wikipedia> page at the time) participates in a comedy show with a "silly dance" (TODO this likely has a name) described in the comments as:
\Q[
It's a brand new Italian format. Some comedians are grouped into a room where they have full access to different kind of items and tools. Laughing means losing. Each of them can try to make the other laugh. The winner gets some money but all of them would have give that to charity.
The dancing guy, Ciro, after only 10 minutes from the start did this nonsense dance. It's silly bit fun nonetheless I guess
