All The “Impossible” is Possible

This dance is inspired by the song “You’re gonna make it.” The dance relates to the life on an individual wanting to follow its dream of being a performing artist but is stuck in his/her head since many people has tell her/him that they can’t do it. However, in the process of the dance piece, it shows how it came out of those negative things and that he/she can definitely do it. Thank you.

"Black Excellence"

This dance was created as a form of limitless expression, particularly because I posses no professional training in dance. It's to serve as a reminder to all not to think to hard about how good someone else is or seems to be. Simply have fun and fulfill your purpose through what you love. Dance is for all body shapes, genders, ethnicities, and orientations. Lastly, this dance serves to pay homage to my ancestors, because I wouldn't be me without them. And I have big plans to change the world and help all people through dance/Writing/Film--regardless of how they identify.

Don’t Be Afraid, Yes You Can Do It

Inspired by the song “You’re Gonna Make It.” In this dance, I’m struggling if I can do it or not, I’m fighting with those thoughts in my head telling “you’re not going do it, you can’t make it.” Throughout this dance, I break those negative thoughts and just do it. Don’t let your fears win the fight. Don’t be afraid anymore, you can make it. You are going to make it.
