What does dance mean to you?
Dance means more than just "moves" to me. From a finger point to standing on my toes give meaning to my life. Dance is what I manifest day in and out. It means that I can breathe another day, paint a picture another day.
When did you start dancing?
We'll I learned how to walk by music as a child. When the music stopped I would fall down. This is my story told over and over again to open peoples eyes as to why I was destined to dance but around 11 years old is when I took it seriously.
Why did you start dancing?
at 11 years old I realized that I could entertain crowds all across Atlanta. It was exciting to see the reactions to the moves I made on stage. Not only did it entertain people but it also help me remain positive, stay out of the streets and become a role model to others.
How does dancing make you feel?
Fearless. Dancing makes me feel Like I can escape without explanation. It gives me hope and a peace of mind about better things to come.
Dance makes me feel what others are going through in there lives through there movements. I can speak a language with so many others fluently through a world wide expression. The love that I have for dance makes me feel complete.
