Great way to start the new year

It seems to me my dreams are just starting to come into view. I just got invited to a great opportunity. My good friend goofball asked me if I would perform with him at some Washington Wizards games. This is totally awesome. This will be my first time in the spotlight in front of thousands of people. I'm really excited and humbled that I was invited to do this performance. I hope that I can show everyone what I'm made of and start to make my name.

Well for the past 6 months I've been working really hard on my dancing and top rock. I'm finally getting happy with the way I feel when I do tops. I like the way I look and am starting to feel my flavor. Last month I decided next was time to get sick footwork. Well things have been going ok with that, but since I got this new show, I'm going to have to start focusing more on power and blowups. Which isn't such a bad thing because I've been neglecting them for a while. I'll still work on some footwork, but I guess it will take more time.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I'm kind of inbetween on feelings for this. As a bboy my number one concern is to the art of dance. But will this kind of show really be about bboying? Sure I'm going to show my moves to thousands of people. But I'm a performer, I have to give them what they want to see. If I start doing just tops or footwork, then my entertainment factor won't be so high. So would I be comprimising myself? My dance? I don't think so. I know who I am as a dancer. I know what's important in bboying and I'm going to keep training those things. I definately will not let this go to my head. As far as I'm concerned this is just a small step and I still have a long way to progress in my dance career. But as a performer this is a great opportunity to learn to perform under pressure.

This is even a great step to my personal goals of helping others and spreading inspiration too. I plan to focus a lot on my disability. Which is probably only like 5-10% of my style. But I think that is what will have the most impact. Imagine when I'm at the club and only a few people notice, but maybe it touches them in a special way. Imagine when thousands of people see what is possible. I really hope I can be an inspiration and help others to succeed and keep their spirits high.

And also this kind of exposure will help me to gain more contacts and a bigger name, so maybe later I can do bigger things. I really hope russ does this too. It would be really great to have part of my crew their. I always dance a bit harder and a bit free-er when he's around.

Even though I won't be totally bboying at these shows, Imma try to spread REAL hip hop culture. I'm going to have a lot of fun and live life to the fullest through my dance. Here is a list of all the games I'm scheduled to dance at.
