Dance Dance Renaissance

  I went to Brent's dance concert tonight for Hypersquad.  the show was called Renaissance and I have to admit, it was refreshing since I haven't been around very much dance recently. It also made me want to really get back into dance again. So much so, that I decided that it's time to take a class next week and possibly participate in a dance concert myself. I wish I could have taken a picture (this was their bow) or recorded the concert but we weren't allowed to do that so...sorry folks.

  It was also nice to see all the people I used to dance with before both on stage and in the audience (pictured are Jen, Chontille and I--all Rainbow Dancer Alumni). I dragged Seychelle, Jen, my mom and sister to come (Jermaine had lost his ticket and couldn't make it).  I know I'm side-tracking here, but you have to get the full explaination as to why this concert was important and made me cry,  a lot. It was my former dance director's last show. Jason also known as Newkon is now the new art director of the brand Kallusive.  Due to this sudden change in career, Jason can no longer live in Hawaii and run his dance studio; he must now move to Los Angeles where the company is based so that he could produce his art and share it with the world.  At the same time, his younger brother, Josh, who will now take over the studio as director, has recently entered the America's Best Dance Crew's fifth season nationally televised competition. Josh and six other Hypersquad members are currently in L.A. and will compete again dance crews from across the country. The exciting part of all of this is that Hype 5-0 is the first Hawaii crew to make it into this competition so of course, everyone is cheering for them. The show was fittingly called Renaissance. Overall, there's a lot that the Hypersquad family has to be proud of and I know that they will continue to grow in this spotlight of good fortune.  In the mean time, Brent will be teaching one of Josh's classes for a while so I'll be checking that out as well.

  Ok, back on course. Did I workout today like I promised? No. But I did continue my Target binge and go back for the third day in a row. Today I shopped for my dress-up doll also known as my baby sister. It worked out since she likes to go shopping. I made sure we spent quality time trying on a cart full of clothes. She walked out of the store with a new pair of shoes, leggings and a top. I walked out of there $40 poorer. I got a good taste of my own medicine since I'm highly aware of the fact that my mother often times ended up on the same boat as I did today when she would take me shopping. She's probably very happy and relieved that she no longer feels it's neccessary to do that with me. On the flip side, she's probably also thinking "not again..." now that she's got another princess for a daughter. 

 

Brent got a balloon from Salena, his #1 fan at the dance concert.  By the way, that shirt Brent's wearing is one of Jay's designs.
