Mesmerizing Inspirations

Disc Jockey:

As you stand there and overlook everyone around you, you just want to be someone. At that very moment you are somebody; everyone in front of you is waiting for you to speak. You set your eyes on what is in front of you, put your head down to look at the material that you brought and take a deep breath and begin. As your hands move over the material you begin to speak. Everyone is in a trance from what you are saying. You look up and everyone is dancing from what you are saying. They are all enjoying the music coming out of the speakers and the lights to follow the beat. Right there and then you know “The Floor Is All Yours”. You say to yourself, I brought all types of people together; sex and race, there is no drama and everyone is smiling; nothing is more powerful than a DISC JOCKEY.

Mesmerizing Inspirations

Inner-self:

Sometimes in our life we find ourselves standing still. Sometimes we have to step outside ourselves to lead the way. Don’t be paralyze by your own inner-self. Push yourself to that goal you set out to achieve. There are too many opportunities in front of us, we just have to realize to use our personality to present ourselves and our smile to lead the way; transform ourselves into reality and show everyone “the floor is all yours”.

Mesmerizing Inspirations

Teardrops 2:

As the teardrops start to fall the relief takes over. People say they want to quit at what they are good at. Don’t stop, keep pushing yourself until the teardrops stop. Remember for every teardrop that falls, that is one step closer to your goal. People say to me I want to quit, but why, people put some much time into what they want to do. You have it in yourself to get where you want to get. Let the teardrops lead the way, and when they stop you will have achieve your goal, and prove to yourself that “The Floor Is All Yours”.

Mesmerizing Inspirations

A Dancer’s experience:

Wondering on the dance floor, not knowing what to do. You hear the music and can’t breath, move, or hear. The music overwhelms you. The sweat pulsating off your skin to every beat, the lights moving around you and causing you to go into a state of mind where you and only you can be involved in the music. Wow! what a feeling. Nothing is like this. You evaporated into the floor and feel every movement from the dancers. At this time you know “The Floor Is All Yours”.

Mesmerizing Inspirations

Goosebumps:

The d.j. spins a song and all of the sudden you can’t move from the music. Goosebumps take over your body. Your hair on your arms start to rise and you get the chills. Wow...the sweat comes down from your forehead and your heart stops for a second and it’s like you are having a heart attack. You have trouble breathing and gasp for air and realize “the floor is all yours”.

Goosebumps 2:

Everyone comes across this no matter what their talent is. You have to realize you are the only one that can push yourself to this moment. Follow through with want you want to do no matter what it is. Don’t ever give up, believe in yourself, and always take it to the point were you will get goosebumps, and let yourself become “the floor is all yours”.

Mesmerizing Inspirations

D.A.N.C.E.R.:

D: The dedication you put into your dancing when you step on the floor. A: The attitude the dance floor gives you when you step on it, and the attitude the music gives you when you move to it. N: Non-stop dancing. C: The communication you give when you dance. E: Enjoy every moment on the floor and end it off with a smile. R: Realizing it’s not a dream, and realizing “The Floor Is All Yours”.

Mesmerizing Inspirations

A dancer's view:

Have you ever step on the dance floor and been separated from yourself and everything around you. And all of the sudden something takes over. There is nothing better than this feeling. You can’t breathe or move; your heart stops, then starts to pound, and you become that movement, that song, that talent. At this moment everything is in slow motion and know right there and then "the floor is all yours”.

Mesmerizing Inspirations

T.A.L.E.N.T.

REMEMBER TALENT IS PART OF WHO YOU ARE.

T:

The time you spent on working on your talent.

A:

You must have the attitude/confidence to get where you want to get.

L:

Is what you live life for.

E:

Entertain yourself and everyone around you.

N:

Once you find out what your talent is, you will never lose it. It is never-ending.

T:

The Floor Is All Yours...Your goal.

YOU PUT ALL THIS TOGETHER AND YOU WILL GET YOUR TALENT AND YOUR GOAL.

YOU WILL FIND OUT SOME MUCH ABOUT YOURSELF IN THE MEANTIME.

NOTHING IS BETTER THAN THAT.

Mesmerizing Inspirations.

SPOTLIGHT:

You should never accommodate your talent(s). Always push yourself to the next level. You always want to try; you rather fail at trying, than failing to try. People like to be notice, so this means they might step on something or someone to push themselves up, don’t let this stop you. Let your talent(s) shine and when you are in the spotlight show everyone THE FLOOR IS ALL YOURS.

Mesmerizing Inspirations.

TEARDROPS:

Everyone has a talent. How you go about pursing the talent(s) is a gift. You want to breath and live your goal and talent, inhale the smell and taste of your talent and goal; and exhale the success of what you achieve. It will be so overwhelming that the tear drops start. Then you will taste something that you never tasted before. You will taste how great you are at what you do. At this time, no one can tell you that you are not good at what you do or tell you that you will not achieve your goal(s). Also at this time you will be separated from yourself and the whole world and nothing is standing in front of you but, for you to take the next step and show people who you are; THE FLOOR IS ALL YOURS.

Mesmerizing Inspirations.

ACCOMPLISHMENT:

People strive so hard to get where they want with their talent(s). They strive so hard they want to quit but, they don’t realize how much they put themselves through. Sometimes all the hard work is worth more than the finish project. The accomplishment of getting to the final project is staggering.

Have you ever step on the floor and time has stop. Nothing in the world can take you off beat. At this moment; accomplishment has taken over and sometimes you don’t even know that your did it, but you did. You prove to yourself and everyone that THE FLOOR IS ALL YOURS.

Everyone has a talent. How you go about pursing the talent(s) is a gift.

Continuing from July.....

You never want to accommodate your talent, if you do then you are not challenging yourself. You always want to progress to the next step. It's not the experience you been threw it's how you challenge yourself to get to the next level. You always want to try, you rather fail at trying; than failing to try. You will have people laugh at you but, at least you are doing what you want to do. Most people don't even get that far. You might end up spending all your finances on your talent and don't have anything to show for it. This if fine because, what you get in return is more than what you can show. You will find out so much about yourself and how you deal with certain situations, good and bad.

If you believe in yourself and your talent it will be so emotional that sometimes it will be overwhelming. You want to breath and live your goal and talent. You want to inhale the smell and taste of your talent and goal; and exhale the success of what you achieve.

There will not be a day that goes by that you won't think of your goal or talent. Anyone can do anything, you just have to push yourself. You almost have to push yourself until you want to cry. Then the teardrops start. This is when you start tasting something you have not tasted. What you will taste is how great you are at your talent. And no one can tell you that you are not good at what you do or tell you that you will not achieve your goal. You know right there and then that you will make it; make your goal and be what you want to be, and that is a gift.

Everyone has a talent. How you go about pursing the talent(s) is a gift.

You have a dream on becoming a dancer, singer, model, disc jockey or any other entertainer.

Some words or phases you will come across that will try to stop you from reaching your goal(s). Use them to your advantage, and turn them around and make them an asset:

I quit, No, I am not good at anything else, You are over qualified, What else am I good at...More coming soon

Follow this dream. It's not to late to start. If you are starting out. It takes a lot of dedication. You will come across paths that will want to stop you. Don't stop. Keep pushing yourself. I will tell you that you will come across a lot of negative people and things. When you come across this you have to know how to handle this, and use it in a way were it will turn out to be a positive thing.

Their are going to be times were you are going to say I want to quit. You can't do this if this is something you want to do. You have to say to yourself this is something I live for and want; and I have this dream.

Everyone has a talent, some people want to use that talent and make it their dream, and some want to use it as a hobby or etc. But it doesn't matter, every person has a talent. Some different than others. You might sit around and say I have a talent and it is going to waste. Or you could say being good at something is a bad thing. Maybe because, you can't get a gig or get notice. You have to push yourself all the time. Your talent will not go to waste if you are using it to achieve your goal.

You are going to come across people that are better than you. Don't be afraid of this. Learn from them. They might even help you out. Remember someone is always better. So don't get ahead of yourself and think you are better than everyone. Remember where you started. If people come to you and ask certain things I would recommend on suggesting ways on taking their talent to the next step.

Be your best at the talent. Sooner or later you will achieve the goal. Going through the years with your talent you will learn so many different aspects about yourself and other people. Who to trust and who not to trust and a lot more. It will be overwhelming. You might forget more than you learn.

Their are going to be times when people like to be notice. This means people might have to step on something or someone. In this case people might step on you to get notice. You will get a lot of this. People will put you down to push themselves up. Don't let this stop you.

You will have some tough times. Being in the entertainment field is very difficult. Especially when you might have to do most of the work by yourself. Sometimes the work will get overwhelming, and you will want to quit. Their are going to be a lot of times when you say this about your talent(s). (I want to quit, what else am I good at, I can't do anything else). When you say this stop and say to yourself. (Their are a few words I will come across and when I come across these words I should use them to my advantage. Use the word(s) as a asset for my goal(s) and talent(s). (some of those words should be: I quit, what else am I good at, I am not good at anything else, no).

City to City

I danced at many different venues at different cities and seen a lot of great dancers and know a lot of great dancers. Each city I travel threw I came across some great dancers and vibes. Here is my option on the vibes of the dancers and city.

Philadelphia:

Having Philly being stuck in the middle of other cities (New York, Atlantic City, Baltimore) sometimes this city has to prove itself. Philadelphia has overcome much in the past and will in the future. It had it's up and downs over the years. It's a city that will never be overrated. Their are some cities which are overrated for no reason. Philadelphia will always be a city to look out for.

(Dancing in the philly scene for over 17 years).

- Some of the best dancers around. Philly doesn't get as much respect as it should. I am not saying this because I am from the city. Philly has a lot of talent. Not just dancers but other entertainers.

The dancers in the city are very talented. If you dance in the city you might come across some competition. You have to remember philly is stuck in the middle of other cities that are trying to take it's place, so don't let this push you away.

Some future cities:

Fancy Dancing

In this video notice the footwork. In the beginning I do a foot combination. Toe Heel over foot combination ending it off (what I like to call ankle blows) basically a combinations of toe heels hits but hard on the ankles. Also you will notice a combination I call no place like home combination. When you notice the feet touch at the heels then point out then touch at the toes then point in. (This is not the real combination but a quick combination).

Some fancy dancing

In this video notice the footwork. The video is more about the footwork then anything else.

The footwork in this video is basic. This is a basic start on starting out with some steps.

Also notice the spins. The spins in the video are basic. They are a good way to start out and progress into something else.

Some hints to market and promote your talent(s). (Dancer, d.j., model, singer and more).

Heres are some hints on getting your talent(s) out in the public eye.

POST YOUR TALENT(S) ON THE COMPANY'S WEBSITE:

www.thefloorisallyours.com

Dancer:

- Try getting emails and building a email database.

- Get dance magazines and in the magazines they might have numbers or address of dance studios through out the nation. Mail out your resume or portfolio to these companies. But just be careful some studios don't like this. This is one way of getting your name out in the public eye.

A list of important things in a venue for repeat customers and increasing sales for nightclubs, lounges, and bars.

Clean bathroom(s):

(I feel the better the bathroom the better the vibe. I see a cleaner bathroom is a increase in sales for the venue).

- Some women base the venue on the bathroom. If they go to the bathroom and do not feel safe; and the bathroom is not clean or very dark most likely they will not come back to the venue. I feel by having a clean bathroom will help with repeat customers and sales.

Doormen and women:

- having professional doormen and women are good. The customers see these people first and last when arriving and leaving the venue(s). Basically this is the first impression someone will get about the venue. So having someone greeting you with good manners is a good thing. You don't want to push people away. Also when someone leaves, this is the last impression someone will get about the venue.

Definition on dance terms by Michael Fry

Definition on dance terms:

Freelance Dancing:

- Freestyle dancing is a mixture of different aspects of dancing into one. For example, different types of dance styles into one. (house, break, trance, social and more into one).

Freestyle Dancing:

- Some people have a different outlook on this. I consider freestyle dancing a mixture of dance moves, spins, effects, body movements steps, footwork, trick, acrobatic and more into one. I do not consider this a structure dance as much as freelance dancing.

- I consider myself as an freelance/freestyler dancer.

Circle Dancing:

- The concept of dancing in the middle of a circle, surrounded by onlookers.

Mesmerizing Motions:

- It's a movement that you see and become mesmerize from what you witness.

The Wall Effect: Performing the move open back; a signature dance move establish by Michael Fry

Please do not perform this move unless you are a professional.

Performing this move when the wall is on the right side of you.

This move requires a lot of upper body strength.

If you are a beginner:

1. Stand with the wall on the right about an arm lenght away.

2. Once you are ready; bend down and jump up but at the same time jump at the wall.

3. Once you are in midair stretch your arms out until both hands are on the wall. By doing this you will have to arch your back like you are doing a sideways handstand.

4. Now that you are on the wall, you have to hold that position for a second or two for a nice looking freeze, once you do this push off the wall with your hands and land on your feet.

Once you do this you performed the open back.

Reverse the steps if you perform the move with the wall on the left.
