HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Can't believe it's 2014 already. Time went by so fast this year right?
I wanted to leave this year with something that is very true to me. I started dancing because I was obsessed with Madonna. In the 80's and early 90's, my mother owned a Madonna Concert on a VHS tape. So my sister and I would alternate from the Madonna Concert to Little Mermaid!! I didn't really know what she was doing (at that age), BUT she just made me feel ALIVE. I would jump carelessly to all her songs!! I wasn't old enough to understand, but she literally changed my life. She has taught me to not be afraid of expressing myself however I wanted. To be exactly how I felt at that moment. To know that your art is YOUR ART. People will always have their judgments and opinions, but what truly matters are your own.
Oh please OH PLEASE don't ever lose the essence of dance. Never hide behind your movements!! Let the music live through your face and body. LOVE TO PERFORM YOUR HEART OUT HEHE!!!
I feel like 2014 (for everyone) will be an amazing year!!! And I wish everyone the BEST!!! Let's live this one life with purpose. I know God gave me the ability to inspire people, so I will do everything in my power to do just that. I love you so much!!
