My Earliest Recollection of Dance
My earliest recollection of dance up until now is when I was around 8 or 9 years old I would go to my aunt’s house for summer vacations and spring break to spend with my cousin who was 6 years older than me. My cousins are half Bahamian and American but they loved the Caribbean music, so my cousin would turn the TV off and crank up the stereo and she would show me ways to whine my hips and gradually we would move on to at the time what was now as Miami Bass music and booty popping music and for about 2 to 3 hours a day a we would dance in front of the big mirror that lined the living wall and dance from the Caribbean to 2 live crew. In high school I was apart a dance group at my church and there is when I learned about liturgical dancing, mime, and step. I really enjoyed the liturgical dancing. We even recreated the “Joyful Joyful” dance from the movie Sister Act, I actually did the cartwheel part and bust my behind! I often try pole dancing but I do not and I REPEAT DO NOT ACTUALLY LET MY FEET LEAVE THE GROUND lol but I do enjoy the exercise in itself, pole dancing requires upper body strength so I applaud the women that do it on a nightly base. Currently the only dancing I do is in the comforts of my own
