Variations

Posted by Staff on Thursday, September 15, 2022

Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

While finding a lead-in, I was looking for idioms related to variations.  I was surprised to see that the bunny hop is considered a variation of the conga.  The bunny hop was demonstrated on television by Ray Anthony in 1952, as well as being on the Disney’s Dance Along in 2013.  

Ray Anthony and his Orchestra played and recorded the Conga.  I remember the Conga as performed by Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine.  I have been a fan of Gloria Estefan not only for the music but for her restaurant.  She owns Estefan Kitchen Orlando in Florida and it is a favorite!

The Ada High School volleyball team played well but lost to visiting three-time league champion Lincolnview in a tough four-set Northwest Conference match Tuesday evening, September 13.

The 25-23, 25-18, 21-25, 25-8 defeat dropped the Lady Bulldog record to 6-4 overall and 0-2 in the NWC. Lincolnview improved to 7-1 and 1-0 in the NWC with the win as they seek a fourth straight conference crown.

"I was really pleased we fought so hard," said Ada head coach Kyleigh Woodruff. "We came back to win the fourth set. It was a very competitive match with a lot of great hustle on both sides."
