Years ago when I still lived in southern California, one of the ways I chose to express myself was through dance. We all dance, and what’s beautiful about dance is that it can happen for no reason, without the need for any rhythm aside from the natural movements of your body. Dance is not about being confined to live on canvas or be heard in concert alls; dance is a form of art that is fueled by a choreographer’s heart and vision, expressed by movements of the soul and body.

I’ve since stopped being active in the dance community, but it makes me proud to see some of my friends who are in world-renowned dance groups (Quest Crew, Choreo Cookies, Boxcuttuhz, and more) that have progressed so far. Not only has the dance community progressed this far over the years, but much of their progression can be attributed to popular dance shows such as “So You Think You Can Dance?” on Fox and MTV’s “America’s Best Dance Crew” as well as YouTube which allows groups to post and share their recent performances and upcoming events. I’ve included a link of an upcoming tour event of my old dance group participating in a community dance event with other groups which they’ve uploaded on YouTube, an irreplaceable resource that many of my peers use for advertisement. The accessibility of YouTube and it’s immense audience has been a blessing for the dance community for the simple reason of sharing choreographed routines with the public, planting seeds of inspiration in both current and aspiring dancer’s hearts and minds.

Enjoy
