Why did you become a dancer?
I thought this subject needed to be discussed.
First thing, as a dancer and choreographer who lives in a city where hip-hop dancing is not heard of, we have to look at other places to find inspiration, and most of the time its what we see on tv and on youtube.com (as you may already see from my past entries). I'm all about getting ideas from choreographers and inspiration from there on doing some movements, but when you decide to steal someone's choreography and then say it is yours and then get paid for it, there is DEFINITELY a problem. How can someone call themselves a choreographer when all you did was take someone else's choreography and then teach it to people??? How can you say you've learned from the best and was taught this and that, but your skills doesnt even say nothing about you as a dancer, and all the famous name dropping that this dude claims he knows is even worse..and you "plan to take hip-hop dancing to a new level" HA! I find that HILARIOUS!
Secondly, in March I got to participate in a school event where dancers at the university could compete for prizes. I was SO glad to have the event over and done with when it did, one because my crew practiced so much and second because half if not more of the competitors wanted to be seen, wanted to be in the limelight, and did not give a shit about the art of dancing. I'm not gonna sit here and say being cheered on isnt fun and exciting but do you get as much pleasure and satisfaction when you just dance for yourself in front of the mirror?!?? I'll just say the the people who won first and second DEFINITELY deserved it, forget third, they basically took the whole routine from Step Up 2 and performed it in front of the school, I mean, come on bruh, and they said we didnt deserve to get 2nd. (Yes Im still bitter he said it, We should've GREETED them in our mini probate scene LOL) OMG IS THAT THE BREATH!
The reason I'm so passionate about this, is because as a dancer/choreographer who loves what he's doing, its damn disrespectful when you spend countless hours coming up with choreography and have someone steal it and then get REWARDED for it. Its basically PLAGIARISM!! and we all know what that can do if you don't properly cite your papers, a big ole F! anyway that was my rant for the day...haha, heres a video of a Tony Tran, a choreographer who i love, he may not be as "famous" as those ppl that dude seems to know, but I would rather learn from Tony than from...Shayne Sparks (no offense) lol...enjoy
