First Steps of a Choreographer
I am Dominic Garcia and I love to dance. I have always enjoyed dancing my entire life and I have never taken any formal teaching for choreography. But lately I have been getting the feeling that if I don't try and make something happen in my dancing life my dancing wont take me anywhere, which is a big dream of mine.

Lately in the Hip-Hop Dance World.
So I have been seeing a lot of videos on youtube lately that have dancers dancing to electro and dubstep music beats. It seems like a cool new thing to try but very hard to chreo too because of all the abstract beats. I might have to try this.

What Dance Means To Me.
I have been dancing ever since my father showed me a Micheal Jackson music video when I was young. Ever since then I have been trying to perfect his moves and be just as great as dancers as he was. At Weddings I would dance for just the pure enjoyment of it when I was younger. As middle school came around so did middle school dances, finally a place where I could showcase my skills and have an actual outlet for my dancing. Middle school turn into high school and came more dances which I enjoyed even more while trying to become a more developed dancer. But after high school there isn't much for a dancer who only dances as a hobby to dance and I feel I have had to suppress my dancing because of it. But as my emotions build up over time I feel I must dance. Dance for me is one way to express my anger, happiness, sadness, and all the other millions of feelings I feel throughout the day. Sometime its triggered by a song that inspires me. Or the people and friends I surround myself with or even other people that I see through out the day. I can see someone and get the urge to go dance with them and I can see a whole routine that we perform for everyone in the food court. But I don't because obviously that could never happen. Its things that this that keep me hoping that I can do something with my dance, even if its just to get a smile out of the room especially from the pretty girl.
Lately I have been filming some of my freestyle sessions. Once I figure out how to get them on the laptop I'll put some of the videos up.
Thanks for listening.

What Next
After finishing my chero piece I was wondering if I could maybe expand my dancing to something further than Hip-Hop. Maybe Ballroom?

Who to show?
As i continue to work on my dance I am wondering what I should do with it after I am finished with it. I was thinking about making a video and posting it online but I know how harsh some peoples comments can be on the internet and I don't know if I am ready for that yet.

Practice, Practice, Practice
Slowly but surely my dance is coming together, but I am having a hard time coming up with other moves for my piece. The way I have being coming up with new step is just turning on some music to dance to and making up the first thing that comes to my mind. It basically is just me being able to express my movemnet and practice my dancing. I like it it helps me relax and takes my mind off of everything.
