"Dance; the hidden language of the soul."

Best Dance & Talent Center
Your number is being called. You have been introduced to the stage. The adrenaline rush begins. You stand poised and ready to show the audience what you have been rehearsing for so many long days and nights. The show that you have been yelled at by the choreographer because your battement isn’t quite right. Your turns must be perfect. Point your toe! The music starts and your heart is racing and yet your facial expressions display just how much you are loving the number. The crowds are cheering. Dance is your passion. Performing Arts is what you want to do. And yet; how did you get here?

I can't dance
I can’t dance to save my life. No matter how many shots I drink, I still can’t dance. Though tequila has told me I can. While working two jobs and going to my college classes I decided to take some jazz and hip-hop dance classes in an effort to improve myself, and to do something just for me. Jazz class was a lot of technique and flexibility I didn’t have, yet I still had a blast. However, hip-hop was what stole my heart. From the laid-back and athletic moves to the songs I had never been introduced to, I was learning every day.

Suave YourSelf
Admittedly, this will not be immediately cathartic. It will be more of a suave-yourself-up-to-go-out-with-the-girls-and-the-gays feeling. Post-pandemic, of course. This playlist (listen here) is truly meant for anyone hyping themselves up, either for a night on the town or grooving by yourself, but either way dancing needs to be involved. Listen to this straight through, starting when you start getting yourself ready for the night.

TAP DANCING (Is it still relevant today?)
What happened to tap dancing? Tap dance was known to be used to help those who were interested in making dance their career. It was introduced to those who needed to practice perfect body posture along with the dance ballet. Tap dance assisted with making you a more well-rounded dancer in the art of dance. Tap helps the dancer listen to music closely, it helped you to feel the music in a new way. Tap turned your feet into human piano keys, that would encounter you to listen and count the rhythm of the beat in music.

Although I’m a senior citizen now, I like a lot of the same music younger people enjoy, including electronic dance music (EDM).

Everybody's Gotta Dance!
I know it may be cliche to say, but that is one of my favorite sayings. Dance Like No One Is Watching! And you really have to be able to do that. It helps you be confident in yourself and your body. At least it does for me.

Soca Sweat
The beat. The beat is hypnotic; it dances on its own. A special groove to sing to, move to, as you stand in place, preparing for the sweat.
