Dance like a girl: B-Girl Terra

I don't post about cute cats.  But dance videos?  Yes.  I  get goosebumps when I see videos like these.  The best ones always are of children with boundless energy of children.  I couldn't help notice her little shoelaces came undone before the camera cut to her putting on her elbow guards and hat :)

 Today at Secret Sunrise, I jumped around with a 6 year old, and she didn't stop dancings.  She wasn't not tired.   No heavy breathing, fatigue, or feeling like it's time to stop.  Me on the other hand was wondering hwo long I could keep up with her.  I had to stop. She kept on going.

  I noticed the same from B Girl Terra.  No deep breathing, just a pure clear vessel of movement, focus, agility and skill.  She doesn't stop.

 Can't wait to see what more she shares with the world.

South African dance documentary films: "I dance as if I have gun to my head" Pop, Lock 'n Roll

There are incredible stories to be told.  And dancers who use their body to express and encapsulate emotion is a language, a story in itself.  I filmed African Cypher Dance Session on my phone at Fly on the Wall Production House in Cape Town, December 16th, 2011: Dance crews that perform and compete at contests like the Red Bull Beat Battle in South Africa and around the world.  Check the trailer link below.

  I have always been captivated by music and dance.  I couldn't resist the urge to film on my phone in the dark warehouse above Roeland St in Cape Town.  The pantsula artists had woven a whole sequence of comedy, sex, violence and gender roles with innovative movements that put the whole cypher into a hypnosis.
Now, another fresh young filmaker, Ziggy Hofmeyr, is raising funds to share a story with the world about dance, love and quest.  Pop, Lock 'n Roll -- Indiegogo: http://igg.me/p/191398

  If we support filmmakers, creactivists, dancers: Culture . . . then we will be preserving a tapestry of identity.   Go on to IndieGogo and support the projects that speak to you. Or better yet, tell us when your next project is!

Watch the film African Cypher, and support South African films like Pop, Lock 'n Roll to be made.
