The thing that I like most about the music I listen to is that it is definitely creative. There are schools for jazz, hip hop, and classical dance all over this city, but nothing can teach you how to dance electric. A lot of people refer to it as "techno dance" but I call it dance electric. I wish that there was a studio around here that specializes in the basic, and then on dance improvisation. There are so many people who want to learn how to dance their own way, not just getting down the technical moves. I have had no technical training aside from my high school show choir, but that doesn't really count. Jazz fingers only get you so far. If you know of any improv dance studios...hit me up!

The cool thing about electronic music is that you have to improvise, and make your own moves or learn things here and there from people around you. This makes it very creative. I have been dancing and improvising for over seven years, and it all began with bobbing my head to an infectious beat. Then it moved down to my arms and then to my legs. Eventually I merged them all together and now I am able to just dance and walla...I have my own style. It just takes getting out there and experimenting. I am sure there are videos, but why spend the money? I'd rather to be able to see my next favorite DJ that is coming to town and get the real experience.

There are a few videos that I have come across, looking for some pointers about foot work and isolations.  Check out the video tab to see what I found. These dancers definitely are self taught and have developed some mad skill. It takes years and I give them props. Being active and dancing out my troubles is far more rewarding than hitting the stair master.

This is a glimpse into my world of dance...
