Lights, Camera, Action!

Posted on Jan 18, 2012

The time I’ve spent as a dancer performing on stage was such an incredible time in my life.  I was able to do something I enjoyed and loved.   I met so many people and have traveled the world several times.  Lights, camera, action is something that any dancer/performer can relate to, and love when that time comes to hit the stage.   From Japan, Switzerland, Germany to London, I’ve traveled there.  From dancing at the Olympic’s, Oprah, Soul Train Music awards to dancing for President Bill Clinton’s Inauguration Ball, I’ve experience that.  I’m thankful and feel blessed to have been able to live my dreams.

I truly want others to experience what I’ve experience.  To do what you love, is never work.  My purpose is to help others succeed in their dreams.  The good, the bad and the ugly, I still enjoyed my time traveling on the road as a dancer/choreographer.   I’m a stronger person, a different person, a wiser person a more mature person and a happy person.  My experience is priceless.

A dancer will always live inside me, choreographing is something I will always do.  I’m moved by music and creativity.  I’ll always work with others to help them experience their dreams and share my knowledge to help them succeed.  Who knows, you just might see me on the stage again. 

I’ve started a new chapter in my life, and as a published author, with three books and now working on my fourth,  I’m still creating.  From books, to video book trailers, to plays and movies,  God continues to bless me and my dreams.  I’m always moving forward with a positive attitude, positive energy and positive people around me.   Lights, camera, action – welcome to chapter two of my life.   

                                                                Motivate, inspire and support.

Where’s my Skaters??

Posted on Jan 8, 2012

I’m about to hit the floor skating – that’s Chicago style JB skating.  Anyone that skates and they are from Chicago, knows about JB skating.  That’s skating to the music of ‘James Brown’.  I’ve got to get my roll on every week.  Work in progress  LOL
