so it's only 12 a.m. right now but i should be feeling sleepy since i've only had 4 hours of sleep today. so today i got home around 4 in the morning and woke up at 8 to get ready for my solo audition at school(Lake Park High School) for a dance ensemble show. in all honesty, i was pretty damn nervous. i usually don't get so uptight for anytype of auditions, but this one i did just because the piece i was doing is dedicated to my mom. the song i planned on dancing to was to kanye west - "hey mama". now for the dancers out there who loves watching dance vids on youtube, i've been planning to do a piece dedicated to mi madre for a really long time now and even before nick demoura's video popped up on youtube dancing to the same song. not going to lie he did hella awesome dancing to it. anyways i was driving to my school playing the song over and over in my car. i got to the dance studio and couple girls went before me, they did amazing. most of the girls danced to contemporary, lyrical, & jazz. so after the girls did their thing, i was up next. i told the teachers what was up with my piece & told them that i'd be freestyling the whole thing. oh btw the teachers made everyone audition in front of them and our backs towards the mirrors. that was hella hard for me but i went through it. anyways i did my thing and right after i was done, i looked to my teacher and she was crying and these two other girls to my left were tearing. now i dance hip-hop and its crazy how they felt such a strong connection to what i was doing cause shit like that usually don't happen. real talk though, it felt real good it was a good feeling. some of that guhd sht got inside of me haha. the teacher told me "i loved it david, you made me cry, & i know your mom is going to love it & is going to be proud" and i was hoping she will be when i do perform it.
here's nick demoura's piece, he did it to the grammy version of hey mama. ima be doing the original version.
alright so tomorrow is super bowl & i was hoping to just relax at home chill wid some fam and friends and watch it at my crib. but turned out that i have practice with kapwa modern (loyola's hip hop dance team). no lie, i was pretty bummed out. driving out there is a hassle, since i live in the burbs of chicago. but i gotta do what i gotta do. i could say that im happy the way the set is turning out. most of mine & allyssa's choreography is in it, and im proud of ourselves. shoutout to kat for letting us show our pieces for their group. anyways this is the first piece they ever did that was taught by us. check it.
that piece was back in october. i'll post up vids of our later pieces. but i still like that one. it was a good turn out.
