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.

to be continue................

Some future cities:
New York City
Chicago
Atlantic City

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.

More coming soon.

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.
