Such style and footwork! Performing at London Cuban Salsa Congress 2014.
Well check out this fabulous piece of Afro dance. Sent to me by a buddy called Jorge Luis Garmendia from Havana, Cuba.
From the first few beats of percussion to the strong yet fluid motion, this performance grabbed my attention and moved me. Enjoy Folks! #Talent #SeeSomethingDifferent #PropelArt I had the pleasure of this young man writing a composition for my choreography Faster Higher Stronger for an Olympics inspired gala Hertfordshires Five Gold Rings. Jacob Collier Singing 'Don't you worry about a thing' by Stevie Wonder 6 part harmony, self arranged, self performed, no auto-tune. PURE EXCELLENT TALENT. I met him when he was studying at Purcell School of Music. He is now at the Royal Academy of Music. One to watch! a wonderful composer and instrumentalist too. #PropelArt #Creativity #Skill
"Being a dancer isn’t all rainbows. Learning to dance well takes years of hard work and there’s typically no pot of gold awaiting you, either – sore, callused feet are more likely.
Still, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how lucky you are. There are plenty of benefits to being a dancer. We hope you’ll do a jig when you read these lucky seven: 1. Dancers move with health and confidence.Dancing helps keep you physically fit and healthy. Dance is good for your heart, lungs, and bones. It’s a fun way to stay active while increasing your strength, stamina, and flexibility. In addition, dancing encourages good posture, body awareness and control that, even as you age, can and will benefit you. All of these things come together in a dancer to give him/her a physical confidence that others can spot and recognize. “You’re a dancer, I could tell.” 2. Dancing helps you keep your wits.Two well-publicized studies concluded that dancing is the only physical activity to reduce your chances of dementia in the way that cognitive activities do. Dance requires you to use multiple parts of your brain at the same time. No matter your age, this increased brain power improves your mental sharpness and agility, and can even increase your attention span. 3. Dancing gives return on self-investment.Dance keeps you in touch with your body, which is healing all by itself in a couch potato culture. Dance also helps you connect with your mind, emotions, and spirit. The practice of dance is an investment in yourself that can reduce stress, improve your mental well-being, and give you an outlet for self-expression. 4. Dance teaches survival skills.Dancing builds resilience and determination because, well, dance is hard! You learn to keep trying despite failed attempts, keep going when things don’t go as planned, and yes, occasionally grit your teeth through a bit of pain. Dance also gives you plenty of chances to be resourceful and a creative thinker, especially if dance is your chosen career. 5. Never. Stop. Growing.Dancing teaches you to keep going but you also learn that a person never stops growing. Every step you ascend on the stairway of dance, lights the way to more. There’s always somewhere to go; more goals to accomplish or details to master. This endless climb is also quite humbling… bonus! 6. All you really need to know, you learned in dance class.Commitment, communication skills, passion, perseverance, the ability to take and respond to constructive (or not-so constructive) criticism and, you bet, that slice of humble pie, are just a few of the life skills dancing develops in its lifetime pupils. There’s not much you need to know in life that you haven’t already learned in a dance class. 7. As a dancer, you become part of a bigger picture.Dancers build lasting memories and friendships with one another. Maybe it’s the work or long hours together, or maybe it’s because you’ve each given so much of yourself, but it always happens. Wherever you go, when you spot that other dancer in the room (and you will), you’ll know you have something in common. That shared experience is part of a rich history of tradition and innovation that unites dancers all over the world. And, because dance is tied deeply to the roots of our communities and cultures, dance builds awareness and appreciation of the differences and similarities between people. This makes you a better citizen of the world. So, count your lucky charms, dancer. You are all kinds of awesome!"
