Dance

It wasn’t until my college days that I realized just how much I enjoyed dancing. At first I would need a dose of the liquid courage to be comfortable enough to dance in public. Nowadays all that’s needed is some good music and a space to move. I’ve found that most of my friends really enjoy dancing but often need a little encouragement and guidance to let loose. If you are able to, I would highly recommend being the person to make dancing a more common and welcoming activity in your social circle. It almost always leads to everyone having a better time and connecting with others in a different way. Just be sure to respect when someone says they don’t want to and keep it a judgement-free zone.

My favorite style of dance is without a doubt hip-hop. On occasion I will pop into a salsa, bachata or merengue class but hip-hop is where my heart truly is. Some of my favorite choreographers are Julian Deguzman, Jasper Sanchez and Nate Ramos.
