I combined the elements of ballet and modern dance to create my video. My grand jetés represent the confidence I have and my graceful movements represent my happiness.
I wanted to showcase happiness in what you love to do and for me dance brings me joy.
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.
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.
