Let's Talk Dance
If you don't feel the music in your spirit then it cannot be transferred to your audience
either. This is a guiding principle of mine developed through using music as my
escape from the pain I had suffered in my youth. I took to the stage at 6 years old
studying tap, jazz, and ballet. When I was in my teens, I studied at a few dance
schools and at one of these I had an instructor who saw my potential and he focused
his interest on me. He asked that I tryout for his dance company. But when I tried out,
he was concerned because I couldn't follow the choreographed routines as quickly
as the other dancers. When they went one way, I would move the opposite. I have
since discovered I had developed a learning disability (dyslexia) related to the brain
injuries I received at the hands of my foster mother as she hung me upside down by
my feet and banged my head against the bathroom floor.

Although I was unable to dance as part of a company, I could still excel in dancing
solo. I had to find other outlets of expressing through dance what was deep inside in
my soul, which has led me to using this talent in bodybuilding and teaching others
the art of movement bringing the audience to their feet with standing O's. Because of
my history, I believe anyone can be taught to dance as long as you feel it in your soul.
I hope to take the lessons of my pain suffered and my natural visual abilities to help
you to create and produce a one of a kind show routine.
