Dancing is something that I have loved from childhood . The ability to tell a story through movement and beautiful expression; the feeling of release and power that is conveyed to the audience; it is truly one of my favorite things on earth.When i was young the movie Girls Just Wanna Have Fun helped spark this love. The movie was about a girl who loved to dance. She was very talented and got on a dance show and later on ...against all adversity ( brought upon by herself or some other source)... gets on the show and wins the contest ! This movie sparked my love of dancing .
I love many forms of dancing . One of them is Step which "is a form of percussive dance in which the participant's entire body is used as an instrument to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand claps" It involves aspects of cheerleading drill, and military, African, Carribean, gymnastics, tap, march and some stunts that you probably shouldn't try if your like me and haven't done a cart wheel for ...well ...over ten years :) .

On Wednesday Nov 10th at 12 noon, Soul Steps is coming to the CCC Main Dining Room in the Commons. Soul Steps reaches far beyond conventional boundaries and concentrates on the body as a percussive, story-telling instrument. The performance will include the personal and cultural stories of Soul Steps artists and the generations of ancestors they represent.
I am so excited about this event and cannot wait to be put in awe of the innovaton and beauty of this art form as well as witness the skill and dedication of those that bring it to us.
