Happy National Dance Day 💛
This piece is my senior solo that I performed in December of 2024. Which has just been sitting in my camera roll collecting dust for almost 2 years now. It’s taken me a while to even find the courage to watch this entire thing because of all the chaos that was happening in my life at that point in time. I had dedicated this piece to my dad in his memory, and for a long time I felt that I hadn’t performed my best for him. I hesitated watching it so long not wanting to relive any of the pain I endured while choreographing or just simply grieving not just him but the overall change happening in my life.
While looking through my camera roll today and finding this video, I’m just so proud of this girl. Proud of all the obstacles she overcame, all the loss she experienced in such a short period of time…. And how despite it all, she continued to show up, keep going, and shine her light.
In reflection, sometimes we get so caught up in what we think we could’ve done better or differently, that we forget to recognize how far we have come. And I know my dad is proud of me no matter the outcome.
“Dim to Light”
🧠: Me
💃🏾: Me
Concept brain dump: What does it feel like to lose track of time with a loved one? To try to focus on one thing and get distracted? To get lost in your thoughts. Daydream while in reality. Reminisce on past experiences? Loose focus and track of time? Stand in silence yet your surroundings are so loud. Dissociate. Feel free in the mind and body. Regain focus. Concentrate on the present rather than past or future. Journey of finding oneself again. Finding the light. Resolving the inner battle of reflection and self-doubt. Finding those bright things within the darkness. Finding the balance of one’s surroundings and purpose, gaining light again.
