Dance, Danse and Tanz

I did love dancing. I do love dancing. I started dancing since I was in Grade School. I began from folk dance and ended with ballroom. Though I am not a hip hop dancer, I feel like trying one because of these videos. I even want continue to dancing again. (The videos serve as an inspiration for me and I hope they’ll do the same thing for you.)

The first clip is entitled “Dance to Inspire, Inspire to Dance” by Eddie Uehara. The clip was posted by y0hallabak in YouTube. The quotations are inspiring and the dance is like shouting “Dance like there’s no tomorrow!” The song used is Apologize by One Republic.

On the other hand, the video below is from Eddie Uehara again. This time it is entitled “Dance Phenomenon”. I don’t personally know him but I can say he is an amazing person! He uses his talent not only to express, but also to influence. Right now, videos that have useful contents are decreasing. Commercials and music videos are becoming annoyance to the viewers because of its lack of interpretation. Anyway, here’s the clip:

For example, when you watch a music video, you are expecting the video to be a visual interpretation of a certain song. Music videos with the singers singing their song with a band or just with their guitars are like watching the singer singing the song live. Music videos should tell a story; not a performance that the singer can do during his/her concert. I believe some MVS from Koreans, Japanese and Chinese are good example for this.

Let me ask you, have you ever considered yourself a dancer? Like what others believe in, every one of us is a dancer. It is our choice to improve our talent/skill with this matter or simply throw the opportunity. But think of this, we are lucky that we are able to move our feet. Some people have difficulty with this, hence they don’t dance. However, dancing is not about the movement of our feet. It’s about our passion for it. Dancing is dreaming with your feet.

I may not be able to clear my point in here, but let me tell you something - to touch, to move, to inspire. This is the true gift of dancing. So what are you waiting for? Start dancing now.
