cuanta gracia! (so much grace!)


Youtube has really changed the world. It's amazing how much we can learn on it, regardless of what your interests are.
Before youtube, we really never got to see each other dance, all over the world, with the same ease and speed. The ability to store video files online, and share video across the world, means that dance is now shared quickly, so far, repeatedly. Suddenly we are not only able to record and transmit movement, but we also can see it multiple times, from anywhere in the world, at any hour of the day - and watch it enough to dissect it, and learn something from it.

This morning I found this AMAZING dance on it.
I really love Roma dance-- this one is described as a Roma Havasi Turkish solo performance, by a beautiful dancer called Reyhan.
She is truly exceptional at capturing the loose energy, sharp attitude and Roma heart of the dance - no rules, dancing as she pleases, with the hand gestures that say so much, and the bouncy hips moving to a 9/8 beat.

So darn cool.
