Well I was always a dancer- not professionally, just socially and usually drunkenly from 1985 till 2010....(I was a perennial party girl...).but then stopped for 10yrs and then when I got back into it last year during lockdown (completely straight and sober too by the way..lol...) I started with Misty Tripoli and Body Groove on demand which had a variety of styles and music, then after my 1hour with her, I would start playing random music on spotify and would keep dancing for another hour or so regardless of how tired I was, then realised I really didn't need Misty anymore and just danced freestyle to whatever the genre of music is playing- so whether it be Latin, swing, Turkish, Balkan Gypsey, trance, deep house, funk- whatever, anything thats got a good beat.
So everyday I would get up and do an hour of Qi gong for the warm up and meditation, then danced, but now I find that I can actually meditate just aswell when I'm dancing...
And now I can't stop and when I walk- well I actually find it hard to walk straight- without dancing...🤣
Ah[[y to share my spotify list with you if you want...
Hahaha. Damn. I can relate to this! I guess, there will always be a time in our lives when we get to be freakin wild. Sometimes, when I look back, I cringe of all the embarassing stuffs that I did.
Thats really cool of you for dancing your heart out and not afraid to do so. As much as I want to dance all genre as well, my body wont coordinate with hiphop. 😂 But I do want to learn african modern tribal dance. I'm just drawn to it when watching some videos.
I also feel like I meditate when I freedive but not when I'm dancing. I overthink a lot especially when we do choreography because I don't want to be able to memorize the steps.
Yes please! share me your spotify! As I have no abundant choice of music on mine because I also just play random stuff!
Yes those embarrassing moments that we shall not mention- bearing in mind all of the witnesses were also doing what could definitely be considered as embarrassing too...lol...
As for the dancing, because these days I am going freestyle, it's my body that makes the move to the specific beat/style while my mind drifts and I think that's the difference between learning choreographed dance and just dancin!
I think that you're on right path by watching videos, then when you do hear the music, you will automatically know how to step...
The most important thing is to remember to relax into it and have fun!
Try this one on...
DAMN!!!!! I FUCKIN LOVE THE TITLE!!!!
Playing Deep-N-Dirty right now. Haha. As much as I want to dance right, its 9:07pm. but ill silently feel the beat while working here. This is dope. 505 songs too! Glad I have something to play till Christmas! 😂
Oh WOW, Love it! Love the fact that you love it!
So dance girl, dance! and enjoy that freedom of the freestyling and I hope you find that meditation factor in there too as I'm sure you will.
And 505 songs- well it is called dance my arse off (and still trying to lose that extra booty too..lol...🤣..)
Yeah! I will definitely dance my arse off like you!
haha. Always like your energy! Keep being a light!
Great to hear and Like wise- you keep shining your light too!
