" I'm the one thats got to die when its time for me to die so let me live my life the way i want to" Jimi Hendrix

For twelve years i have been dancing  maintaining the same love i have for it when i discovered it when i was three years old. Although my interests evolve and inspirations change i still remember pirouetting and prancing about in pink ballet shoes and a pink tutu's feeling like a princess and how happy that made me feel. It then changed to being inspired by the wonderful Gene Kelly showing intricate tap dances with a calm smile on his face and completely at ease. Wanting to be identical to the scene from 'Singing in the rain'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKlub5vB9z8

Then at a later stage finding out about jazz and contemporary and having a love for how contemporary showed a consistency of flowing movements not quite as technical as ballet, more free and thirsty for life and communicating an aray of emotions. Jazz being alive and full of energy but also could be portrayed as slow and sensual for example in 'Chicageo'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPFKMco8AL0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-5qKOQyFwM

As i have gotten older i see potential and show an interest in all types of dances and love choreographing when i can incorporate a mixture of styles into it. I specifically have an interest for contemporary, jazz, street and tap mixing them all togethor and creating a a dance full of all aspects and techniques from each individual style.
