Dance Dance Dance

One of my favorite movies of 2010 (and possibly all time), Black Swan, came out on DVD yesterday. I’d urge any of you who haven’t seen it to rush and get your hands on a copy ASAP, but I know it isn’t for everyone. I am a huge fan of Natalie Portman, but I’m pretty sure I would love this movie regardless, and a large reason is my love for dance. (I can’t imagine anyone else playing Nina Sayers, though, and Oscar agreed.)

I have always been fascinated by the art of dance. I’ve taken classes here and there, but nothing stuck. I appreciate all forms…jazz, tap, hip hop, modern and, of course, ballet. I wish I would’ve stuck with something. I know I wouldn’t be a professional dancer or would’ve gone to Juilliard, but it’s such a beautiful expression. To tell a story with movement and music. A lovely combination. An effortless relationship.

My dream…

If I could do anything in the world (I guess you can but you have to actually make efforts and strive to achieve your goals), I honestly would become a professional dancer. I love dancing. I don’t do it enough, and I obviously don’t do it for real. But I wish I had practiced it my whole life. I just always felt like the little dance classes I took weren’t what I wanted (I did jazz, tap, and a bit of ballet, not for very long). I think I’m more of a hip-hop, modern, salsa-ish gal.

Anyway…here are some dances I really love.

Basically, I love anything that fits with the song, that shows true emotion and almost tells a story. Maybe one day, I’ll be able to tell a story like that.

Thanks, Shakira

Because I am obsessed with this, wishing I could dance and be as hot as she is, I am on American Apparel drooling over leotards. I don’t even know if anyone actually considers these sexy (though the one I own is pretty hot if I say so myself), but because of Shakira, I kinda wanna buy as many as possible.

 

It may also be because I really wish I were a dancer…

Shake It

So, again…I’m 22 years young, it’s early Saturday morning…I should be out somewhere shaking my groove thing. Is it strange that, for as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a hip hop dancer? I’m by no means as good as Ciara or Aaliyah (RIP)…but people do tell me I have some smooth moves. In fact, here I am…dancing in my Jazz Dance group for our final performance. See if you can spot me from my photos!

Oh, and I just noticed now the 1 1/2 stars we got ranked…once you watch it you’ll understand why. But then again…it’s not like you’d expect it to be that good.

College Prom

Commencement Ball occurred this Tuesday for us King's College seniors.
It's basically at college prom.
I wore a dress I already had, and I'm kinda bummed I didn't search for something crazy or different at the Salvation Army. But I still felt comfortable and I had an amazing time eating and drinking at the open bar. Dancing all night too was just what the doctor ordered...then again, I'm always game for dancing all night.
Here are a few pictures...





Getting ready was fun, but my hair is still stressing me out! It made me miss the homecoming dance, which was way easier to get ready for...



And the debate continues...
