Dance is was I Do!

Hello! My name is Stacey! I love to make up dance routines/choreography to music that motivates me. I'm starting to make dance videos for my family/friends back home in California and here in Utah. I have been dancing since I was 8 years old. I've never took any dance classes when I was little. I always want to attend a dance school or take classes but my mom didn't have money back then to enroll me in one. So, instead I learned by watching Michael Jackson's music videos. I was inspired by his moves and music. My favorite music videos are Thriller, Billie Jean, Bad, Beat it, and many more. All the moves he did in each video I would learn every time I see them. It was hard at first because I know how much I need to be flexible, on point, or count the steps. Later on I got the hang of it by practicing each move over and over again. After I have learned all his moves in his videos I wanted to learn different types of dance. I was 10 when I started to watch Chris Brown, Missy Elliot, Ciara, Sean Paul, Usher, and other hip hop and r&b artists to learn how they danced. It was a little different than dancing to Michael. The type of dance they used was hip hop and breakdance. Learning their steps were more loosing your body and putting your style into it. When I turned 11 I wanted to make my own choreography to music I would hear on the radio. My first dance routine was Missy Elliot - Pass That Dutch. After making that dance routine I want to make more, but with my cousin Klarissa and my sister Denise. They were 7 year olds at that time. We made choreographies to Usher - Yeah, Missy Elliot - Gossip Folks, and Sean Paul - Temperature. When I moved to Utah the first 2 years I stopped making choreography. I wasn't as motivated here like I was in California. The only thing I did was go out and danced in parties and clubs. I was shy to dance and show my dance routines so I kept it to myself and family. When I was a Sophomore in high school I started to make dance routines. Until this day I'm still making choreography. I dance modern, hip hop, jazz, and a little bit of ballet. I'm still learning different types of dance. I love to explore many dance levels. In this blog I would be posting my dance videos, pics of myself and others dancing, and some youtube videos that I enjoy watching. I would also be giving you guys some tips and telling more about myself with dance. Anyone can dance just move how you want and don't be afraid to express yourself. I would like to motivate you to dance with me. Enjoy!:)
