Why we dance ? Inspired by Brandon and Friends...
 Why we dance? It seems like a simple question? Am I right> But actually dancing is not just intricate movements , or hours of stretching and practicing moves.. Its more than just listening to music or interpreting music.. Its a way of life. its a way of self expression. What intrigues me about dancing or movement or what ,, is that the very people that love to dance,. They love the music , the feelings of emotions when we dance especially in front of people, I know at times when I see great dancing ,,, It makes me smile and laugh.. Yes, Laugh,. and your pondering what? I mean, some dance is so great or creative its a laughter of astonishment and joy,, and like what a move or what a trip,, I mean you have to really love dance and the whole scene to have that feeling.. I know when I dance whether is hip hop, ballet , or zumba,, I like the feeling of dance, the loud pulsating music and the energy my legs and arms re generating.. I know a lot of men,, straight men,, think dancing especially for a guy is less manly, not tough or what. But ts ok.. I could care less for these old fashioned, , John wayne like mentality , I mean I don't blame them they grew up in small backward boring small towns in north Dakota or Texas , or whatever boring small town communities, I know I shouldn't make such stereotypes, But hey,, they are making those same judgment's about us, So cal Pretty boys.. you know guys that like to wear tight fitting shirts or pants and like to pamper them selves with lotions and creams.. Pretty boys, as they like to call us.. But you know what ? I'm ok with that, I mean, Pretty boy or not I''m also a trained Martial Artist and Boxer and also have survivor military mixed martial arts skills and a life long weapons expert in Arnis , Nunchuku and knives and swords,, and my new weapon the tomahawk.. I know I have the ability to hurt people very easily. But.. Because of my talents and skills , I decide to be more happy or funny and not try to be a bad ass. But don't get me wrong. if you,, yes, you or ANY OTHER person harms me or my family,. I will do whatever means necessary to defend my family,, and if that includes, severe bodily harm or death.. Believe it or not I would not have second thoughts,. Its the way I was brought up. I have a very extensive experience and training from My father and older brother and cousins.. My back ground and training is quite impressive , but I choose to not reveal those talents ,, because I want people to like me , because of me,, Not because they are afraid of me, ? I know that's doesn't make sense or does it..
 But back to my point, Like the MARTIAL ARTS, DANCING is a form of expression a sense of belonging to the dance,. Every time we dance we expressing our selves, honestly and truthfully. By dancing ,, we release our creativeness and energies that help us cope with life. Many times when I'm upset or need to release my anger,, I use dance remove my anger and create something wonderful.. I dance for my family and Friends , for the pure joy of sharing my talents and skills with them,, I know the pains in my knees and joints ,, are painful after each performance or practice, But I enjoy it and that's just the collateral damage I accept to do what I love, If one day , music was banned and writing was too.. I think I would be the most depressed guy in the world.. But that's such a far fetched idea,, So with that.. We dance because it makes us happy and to see people and hear them compliment us, makes us, hunger to learn more moves,, create more routines and show off our skills at every given opportunity or not, I know many times. in the mall , walking the streets hanging out. I hear music,. I dance and dance,, Just go ask any body that has worked Christina , Understand my feelings, When we hear the music , forget about the troubles we are dealing with or frustrations, when great music is on, We are on.. !! so with that,, That's why we dance, its not because we know how, Its because we can, and we feel the beat,and anyone that truly calls themselves a dancer., Knows we dance because it feels so good. and  besides we look good doing it, Its a way of life, its way of dealing with stress, Its a style we have, in our clothing m speech and even our cars , The music we listen to, the styles of clothes we wear, and the image we wish to portray displays , dancer, and lover of life, But I know we have those square \peg,, boring I only like rock music , dudes that think,, dancing is gay and not manly,, Well,, who cares,, ? I don't need your comments or opinions because opinions are like ass holes, Everyone has one and they all stink!!! I treasure my dear friends like Glen , Holly , Mel , Pua, Sara, Sal , , Stev, and Arlene, and many others that support and encourage me to dance or post blogs, Because in the end,. A true friend protects you and honors your friendship m not chastise or embarrass you.. But that's ok. I don't need negative Nancie's or Debbie downers, from small town north Dakota or whatever? I love the friends I have and I love my desire to share my dancing like many of my dance friends,, Why we dance? Because its us,, and its fun,, and its an expression of our selves,, We dance because we can, and because we enjoy sharing our skills,, Its more than movements, its a way of life and a life we plan to pursue well into old age,, Don't be surprised you see some 70 or 80 year old Me, or Sara  Jeremy or Brandon,, still hip hopping our ways across the dance floor,, Because we live to dance and we are gonna dance until the day we die.. !! UNTIL MY NEXT BLOG..
