I recently began learning about House Dancing since summer of 2009. I still remember going to the city library for the first time, seeing Danny Dance with his DJ equipment with people dancing around him so freely. Since that day, House has become one of my favorite styles of dance. It is still fairly unknown amongst the mainstream culture, but there are many amazing House dancers in the world. The style itself is very free and soulful, and you have to let your body loose. The key is to let your body move as one with the beats of the music. The main groove you must learn is the Jack. The Jack is the essence of House dancing. You can have all the moves in the world, but if you don't have the Jack, then you won't have House.
Both my sisters enjoy dancing although each one has there own genre of dance. One of them has done ballroom in high school and is looking forward on continueing throughout college. The other is more into hip hop and break dancing. They are faternal twins and their personalities are completly different. But they like to try and combine the two different tykpes of dances. Just like Jazz music has influenced many genres of dance, I think Dancing will continue to evolve as different elements of cultures begin to come forth. What do you think will happen in the future?
ReplyDeleteIts amazing to see how she can keep her feet moving to beat, but at the same time stay loose so she can flow freely and do her own thing.
