An Eternal Passion

Dancing, a passion that a lot of people probably share. In my case, it is a passion, which is surprising fro people who know me. I’m addicted to music and dancing. I can’t  remember a single day without dancing to some kind of music (hip-hop, pop, soul, rhythm and blues, even country but especially hip-hop). if the beat goes, you will never succeed to bring me back in your world.

Since my childhood, I’ve been truly influenced by the American culture. Thanks to one of my uncles who used to make me listen rap music in the 90’s. This period is often described as the golden age of hip-hop. And with music, dances were emerging like breakdance, popping, locking, smurf, etc. I don’t know where or when my desire of dancing emerged. I’m connected with the sounds that come out during the 90’s. When I’m in party or even in the street I dance no matter what. And I don’t want to show off but I’m pretty good at it. People keep saying that every time so I think I’m going ti believe them.

To be more specific, one of my recent memories about dancing occurred at the beginning of the school year. We were celebrating the birthday of two of my closest friends in a village hall. Everybody was there, family and friends. And then the music started and nobody wanted to do first so I went straight  to the dance floor with the mother of one of my friends. The atmosphere became warm and people were smiling. The mother told me that she loved my way of dancing (it is a big compliment from someone of another generation who doesn’t listen or dance to the same kind of music). I always knew I had a gift to make people good.

For me, dancing is a form of communication. I mean truly, I’ve met new friends thanks to dance. When you dance with other people, you create a good moment, everybody smiles and the relational distance is reduced. It’s like knows the name of the guys in front of them but they don’t care. There is no judgment, only fun. As I said previously, I always though I had a gift that allows me to break the ice in a party or even everywhere where nobody is enough motivated to dance first, to warm up the atmosphere and the audience, I still think I have it.

What more can I add? Dancing is part of who I am! And nobody can take it away from me!
