Ridiculous dance

One of my long term goal/dreams is to one day be able to have a studio of my own where I can teach my own brand of dance to the next generation. It’d be awesome to have a cru there to practice with as well. This is the way that many of the teams that … Continued

Crash

It’s not just a DMB song. It’s not only something that my computer does. Every once in a while you just get overloaded. I’ve always found that when I do, I just need a reboot. A little bit of time away from my stress and away from people to put myself back together and pick … Continued

…and justice for some

It’s the nature of the biz. Sad thing is that it’s the nature of life. The ones that work the hardest are not always the ones who get everything that they hoped for. There’s always politics involved. And it doesn’t just happen in the entertainment world. It’s all about who you know, who likes you … Continued

Spring not-so-much-of-a Break

Don’t let the title of this blog entry fool you. I had one hell of a Spring Break this semester. It just was not what I would call a “break” in that, I was dancing the entire week. Let me start from the top: ACDFA (American College Dance Festival) This year the festival was held … Continued

2 men, 3 seats

Two men three seats, with nothing between them except a backpack. Sitting comfortably while others stand. Two men three seats, with their sense of male entitlement between them. Kicking back while others bend to their sloth. Two men three seats, spilling their ego into every direction while others go around. They could move, they could … Continued

Oh that Culture of Ours….

You will never see church people clamoring at the door of a club to get in. You just won’t see it. There are different people trying to get in there. Yet, that’s exactly what happened in a dream I had the other night. In it, I was supposed to meet up with some friends at … Continued

Colombia, the aftermath

I made it back to the states in one piece. I’ve hit the ground running as expected. I took a look at my month of March and I have a performance every weekend. Eeeeek. But what an amazing trip I had. It was exactly the break I needed. Colombia has an entirely different way of … Continued

Hip Hop versus….

There’s been an ongoing battle inside myself. It stems from trying to decide how it is that I am going to pursue my dance career. Recently I discovered how awesome modern dance is, and these days I’m getting really good at it with the help of ballet. There was also a period of time when … Continued

Leaving on a Jet Plane….

Another busy week of dancing. I don’t really know how I survived it. My body is on the verge of muscle failure just from getting up in the morning but somehow I made it through the entire week with an absurd amount of energy. One of the highlights of the week came from the finalization … Continued

The Romance of the Douchebag

I’ve been really lucky to have an amazing modern instructor this year. He’s one of those instructors that you get maybe a few times in your life that really pushes and challenges you in both your strengths and weaknesses. I’ve become a much better dancer because of him. At the end of last semester, the … Continued
