Greetings friends,

Disclaimer: There might be some smiling involved, and some of this may be eyebrow-raising.

There are so many things going on in the world that could drive anyone bonkers. You can take your pick; Virginia, Venezuela, Syria, and everywhere you turn. Now, let me say this, of course, I have an opinion about each of these situations, but I choose not to dwell on it. Instead, I prefer to be grateful. So many of us engage in heated debates, causing rises in blood pressure, words that slice and heal slow. So, my goal from the beginning is to share resources and laughs. Yes, stand for the things we believe in, but there is a time and a place for everything. A smart lady shared a post today, and it spoke to me. Sometimes, you have to know when to stay silent and watch.

Anyhoo, today, I was thinking of one of my favorite things to do. So, for my first February post, I wanted to share some fantastic dance videos. Most of these dances I cannot do. It probably would have been hilarious to watch me attempt them. Unfortunately, I am not quite ready for the blooper series. So, I hope you enjoy this diverse collection of dancers/choreographers that I follow. Let me say this; they are not in any particular order. I love all of them.

 Petit Afro

When I started watching these videos, I was hooked. These videos show, men, women, boys, and girls dancing and having a great time. Now, I probably would pop a screw from my ankle for attempting this, but I might try it (in slow motion). Maybe, I’ll get an opportunity to meet the mastermind, and he can teach me.

MattSteffanina2- “Controlla”

This guy is super talented, and he is funny, too!  I don’t think I would attempt this one.  I would surely break something. Take a look.

Bachatwins

You know I had to throw this in.

Misty Copeland

Her talent speaks for itself!

Alvin Ailey Dance

I grew up with visions of dancing with the Alvin Ailey Dance company.  The dances are beautiful.  Every year, I would find a show, and I would sit in the audience, studying every move, every pointed toe.

Soul Train

I couldn’t talk about dancing without adding a little Soul Train. I would love to find some of this attire. Some of the dance moves make my back hurt, but they sure had fun.

Dances A-Z from Around the World

I always find dances from around the world exciting. I still want to learn them. Sometimes, I’m successful. Most times, I enjoy watching others.

If you like the video, explore more.  Look up some of the dance fail videos. Look up the cue animal dancing videos, but get a good belly laugh, and as always…

Keep pushing,
