This is going to be short and sweet. The Picture above is a Demo of my ” Thank You, Self care day” baskets for all the Business & Professional dancers ( Jack of all trades, most of them are.)I interview. But, It will be of their favorite things for their “Self Care Day “because we are always on the go and never get time to rest when we are tired. So, I wanna gift that to the people I interview as a Thank you.
On November 15, 2017 I went to Brooklyn, to the studio DanceWave. Where the class starts at 6:30 -7:30 with Rolanda Catapano. In the beginning of the class, you have your warm up and stretches. Then, we did another warm up cross the floor before we did a choreography. Rolanda vibe and energy while teaching the whole class was perfect. I wanted to do better every time we did the routine over and over again. She taught Lemon by N.E.R.D & Rihanna and she put milky rock into the choreography. I definitely got that part down when we had to do it by ourselves. I also love that Rolanda hype each group that went with the class. This hip hop class is fast pace and a workout all at once, if you get bored at the gym and wanted to try this class. I highly recommend it, if you are in the New York area or don’t mind traveling to the class. ( I have more to say, edit all weekend. Enjoy for now)
If you want real RnB and feel like it is missing substance. Then, you should go to a Tank concert. In a Tank show, you will get an intimate venue, vocalists, sense of Humor, more. When Tank did his solo tour a second time in New York City. You know me, I bought the ticket with no hesitation. Only because his sex, love, pain 2 tour was so good. When Tank came back for the Savage tour it was straight RnB heaven. Tank brought out Dante, other RnB acts. I was more excited to see Tank and Sammie on the same tour together. You didn’t want to miss the first leg of the Savage tour with these too. The first leg of the tour was basically like “Take all my money ” with these two artists. From when both of their albums dropping during that time and this tour. It was worth seeing them and my money was well spent. Once tank came on the stage everyone in the venue was hype. The lights with his name lit up and he came on stage singing Savage from his upcoming album.( which dropped in September in all digital formats) Tank set list for the tour was perfect and it keep the vibe in the whole room right were it needs to be. Towards the end of the show, where he had his piano and started making jokes. Which is always fun. Then, he started to sing “Next Breath” which Sammie wrote for Tank.( It was beautifully that Tank and Sammie were on tour together.) If Tank is ever in your city, I highly recommend seeing him live because you will not be disappointed.
I started this blog about Dance because its been my ESCAPE from life and has always been there for me. When I didn’t have ANYwhere to go, dance helped with all the stress/anxiety in my life. Dance was there when I lost family members and I would not miss class. No matter the situation was, I would make sure I was there. First I started dancing in Middle school in 6th grade all the way in High School. Where I took on Jazz, hip-hop, lyrical/contemporary, belly dancing and more. Dance was there when I was going through things at home and life in general. You know the teenage things we all went through in high school. While dance was my outlet from all of those things in happening in life. That I went to the dance studio almost everyday of the week, just to get away from it all. I’ve been dancing for seven plus years, during that time I’ve been I broke my left foot doing a switch leap during the resheral. But, they told me not to baby it. Which I didn’t and then, that’s when I got a phone call and text that my parents were not going to be at my show. At that point I didn’t care about the pain in my foot at one point. I Just wanted to go on stage show off all of my hard work. Then at that point the adrenaline rush took over and I dance the who recital. I don’t regret dancing with that pain because that was the year I told myself I was going to be better than the year before. Then I took a couple year hiatus because, life happens. I fell back in love with it again after taking a workshop called “Build A Doll” by The Ken Project and The Dollhouse production in New York City. They taught you how to do an audtion in the future, as well as, all the information you need to know about the dance industry.
After two workshops with The Dollhouse, I stumbled upon “Body Language: Art of Seduction” with Ksyn and I really fell in love with dance all over again. The Sexy Heel class was a whole other challenge for me. But, ill get into body language class Art of seduction in another post later.
What I plan to do with this blog is give you all the information in all the dance classes I take and shows I attend. I’ll be giving you guys reviews on them. I will also give you a spotlight on all the professional dancers I know and how they got where they are, their careers and their lives. Well, I hope you guys enjoy my blog and everything it has to offer.
