Dance, Music, and the Visual Arts... all forms of human expression. Before words were uttered and the text invented, people were dancing, painting and drumming to the rhythms of their hearts. There world was simplistic and basic.
Today we are burdened with ridiculous trends that captivate our youth with "sparkles and glitter". Celebrities and money rule our world. If Ashanti says Pepsi is cool, then the food store's shelves are cleared of it the next day. If Paris Hilton sports a Gucci handbag to the VMA's, then every little girl needs to own one (where do they get the money!?) If a commercial says hip hop is the 'in thing', everyone rushes to sign up for a class. See, there's nothing wrong with trying new things. But don't do it because your all your friends or that hot celeb does it. Where's the individuality in this?
We allow ourselves to be dominated by the commercial
industry because we are AFRAID to be different. I can't exhibit an abstract artwork because people always ask "what is it?" instead of "what is it about?". However, I don't let it stop me, but it does make me feel a little self-conscience.
The same goes for dancing. How many times have you heard "freestyle? I cant dance without steps!" Hey guys, It's in the music! Just how emotions dictate what will go on my canvas, my body acts out how Im feeling according to the music. If your not FEELING, you're not dancing!
Just because you can hit a triple turn doesn't mean your an amazing dancer. Everyone has the ability to dance, it's the ones who feel it in their hearts that are truely free. So get up, turn up the volume, and break out... Now you're a real artist :)
One Love,
