Today I was inspired more so then I ever have been before and I cannot explain why. I woke up just as I usually do, but I felt a weird urge to better myself… it was an unusual feeling but not an unwanted one. I spent the morning looking up videos from YAK films and just watching dancers…I felt connected to them and I felt the drive inside of me to become a better dancer. Eventually I became possessed to watch Step UP 3 just to get more inspired to dance.
It is very bizarre how much dancing has changed me in these past few years, and this finally hit me today, “I am a dancer, I share the path of the Jabbawockeez, Iamme, The LXD, and I cannot stop until I help spread the ways of positivity through dance and music. Truth be told my mind works in very abstract ways, looking at the big picture, but I believe the Jabbawockeez put it in the best describable form: Mus.i.c (Muse I see). They challenge those who watch them dance to see more than just the dancers performing, but to see the link between them and the song and understand its beauty. If I had to describe the feeling I had today, it would be as such, that I felt my inner muse connecting to the outside world and urging me to dance and experience this beautiful connection firsthand.
Later on in the day as I met up with Beast .Inc and we strolled around Hercules, it was unplanned and completely spontaneous, living life to the fullest. I think if people took more days like today to just stroll and smell the roses, no conflict or stress, that the world would be a different place. As sappy as that sounds it was truly refreshing to just do what I do best and goof around and dance. We were filming and just spent a lot of time looking for goods shots and doing a lot of freestyles. This of course was just a warm up however as we did our coolest project yet, freestyling inside Lucky’s grocery store! I loved watching people’s reactions as they saw a bunch of random teens gliding, tutting, breaking, and doing flips randomly in the isles.
Our final project of the day was to make a one shot vid (meaning we don’t stop recording, we do it all in one take) of us dancing. This took a little while but in the end worked out better than we could have hoped. After a long day of riding up and down Hercules and visiting the local parks in which we did some mild parkour in, visiting Hercules high and searching the whole campus to find a water fountain, and planking (of course) we went our separate ways and ventured home. I think I had a whole new aura about me today due to my earlier inspiration, and I want to continue to feel connected with things around me so I will continue to get better and better at dancing, for the sake of spreading inspiration.
The journey is always one of the best parts of any trip, this held true today as another win for spontaneity was claimed. Stay Beastin’
