I DANCE BETTER THAN HIGH SCHOOL TEENAGER- based on true events

I dance better than a High school performer.
 Well I attended my Son's Ace of Breaks Dance performance here in Lake Elsinore,Ca. I enjoy those types of things, But the most funny or embarrassing thing was this kid when up there , of course with good intentions tried to do the jabbawockeez " Apology " dance routine, hey he had the moves down , perhaps better than me, but he was thinking too much , and not going with the flow of the music.. It was good I guess , but I'm better , because I feel the music and go with the beat, which is what Jabbawockeez dance routines are all about. If you watch them , the techniques are simple and clean, not the most daring stunts or moves , but they go with the music.. Just like I did when I was a long hair skinny kid in South San Diego , delaying school because I dance with a couple of brothers( black dudes) between classes, I m know it drove the teachers and counselors crazy trying to maintain control and get students to class. My fault , but I was a natural born performer , who didn't give a shit if it delayed classes for awhile. I mean going to class every day , the same subjects , same teachers , was boring, well most of the time. I wanted excitement at school and I created those moments , that I'm sure alot of my classmates recall or someone does. But anyways back to the performance, My youngest son , told me Pa, you can do better than that, I said oh yea,, But what am I trying to say" If your gonna perform anywhere, be committed to the movements and music,, Just being technically correct is not enough, follow the beat and go with the flow. I don't know I love watching performers , it just when I see one that was less than impressive , I cringe , Because I believe dancers , performers are a fraternity a club that wants good performances at all times.. Oh well, the lesson here is , take a look at what your doing , then commit to that movement and go wit the beats, if you do that your routine will be much better. Performers just do it, when your thinking about it too much , you already lost.. until the next event in my life take care >>THE SOURCE  PRODUCTIONS @ 2011
