As always…

I love to brag. I’m a huge show-off and I like the fact that I can grab your attention and hold it for as long as I want to.

There is a beauty about doing choreography, or for us dancers (because we would rather waste our breath and energy on dancing rather than talking), known as choreo.

There is an in depth system to choreography. Linking the song to moves. Linking the emotions to moves. Linking the feel of the song, the BEAT of the song, the throbbing and pulsing that goes through your veins with music that is slightly too loud but hell, its good music and you like it heaps.

And there is always that slight little hint of sadness when the routine comes to an end. When you’ve danced it for the last time. Its as though it will never exist again, although knowing me, after having done these moves over and over and over again, I’m just going to end up doing the moves on the dance floor anyway.

And funnily enough, whenever I have finished a piece of choreography, I have never danced it again. And just for the sake of it, one day, when I have finally become a fully fledged dance teacher in my own right, I’ll look back at my dance portfolio which might resemble something akin to this…

2007 - What’s the Point “Sway” routine
          - “Dance with Me” waltz/ceroc routine
2008 - “El Tango de Roxanne” argentine tango/ceroc routine
2009 - “Do you dream of me?” ceroc routine
          - “Deception – Hey Big Spender/Devil in Disguise” ceroc routine
2010 - “Down” salsa/ceroc/bachata routine

Ah well. Good times, I guess.

I’ve also wondered why once I have completed a dance routine, why haven’t I tried dancing it again?

Odd, isn’t it? After all the great moments, the hair tearing moments and the times that I just want to stab myself in the guts over and over again and the moments once we get a move, I feel as though I’ve reached nirvana on earth, I would not want to do it again. Its as if I don’t want to ruin the magic of the choreography. Doing it again cheapens the act. Makes it seem duplicable. I’ve watched at a ceroc party ceroc-ers dancing to “El Tango de Roxanne” after the Amazing Baker and I popularised the song and I just sit and think to myself, “Wannabes.” =D I was the first one to make it happen and no one and I mean, NO one has been able to match my expectations of that routine. Not a single couple of the floor. And what’s more, people dancing ceroc started to come to tango class. Wow. I wished that would happen more often. The inspiration, the drive to make people want to learn to dance. Wow.

I’ve put this video up on both Facebook and YouTube, knowing that for the moment, we’ve only got like 20 views, which is probably all me trying to change video details, pictures, etc. Its exciting, though, because this would be my first partner choreographed routine going up online. Definitely puts a smile on my face.

Rightyo. Its late and I guess fame and glory post dancing will have to wait until the morning.

Good night.
