2 Years Later….
Story time ⌛️
This video only came about as the result of getting a no from an opportunity.
And I almost didn’t post it from paralysis by perfection.
We’ll start with the gig.
I didn’t get the opportunity to audition for the Super Bowl.
I don’t ever get entitled about being hired for any opportunity, especially being who I am. I am constantly beyond grateful to even have a DANCE resume as an amputee.
But not receiving the chance to even be seen really struck a nerve with me.
I never even wanted to work as a Dancer, until extremely recently, I always wanted to just be a creative; so who was I to be upset I didnt get a dancing opportunity.
Nonetheless, I was mad lol.
I heard this song, while I was on a walk one day and just started freestyling on the sidewalk to it.
I realized I had something to get out of my system, called my videographer
@iamvjlopez , and asked if he could shoot something last minute.
He pulled up, we shot, and I got the video back that same night.
I didn’t like it.
There were so many things I wanted to do better.
I showed it to my girlfriend and she said, “what don’t you like about it, just post it. Trust me.”
2 weeks later, Chris posted it on his Instagram feed.
1 month later, I was getting invited onto reality shows.
2 months later, I officially moved to LA and was being direct booked left and right, to dance, consult on tv shows, choreograph, assist, teach; my schedule had never been busier.
2 years later, I’m still receiving so many yeses from an impulse I had after receiving a no.
Moral of the story: Trust what’s for you is for you and will never miss you.
And don’t get hung up on perfection.
Post that video.
Could change your life.
