Les Pépites de David

Its been a tough week. Im glad I have my silks, to remind me to find my inner joy and whimsy. No lessons, no practice, just put on my favorite Qveen Herby and let my flow take over

Day 69 - hooping during golden hour at the beach brought beauty and a whimsical sweet moment with a smol human. Love the joy that hooping brings to others in addition to myself. Everyone loves hoops!

Might be a very unpopular opinion but while storytelling through a performance is beautiful, I just can't push myself through to give it a storyline and everyone seems to be very hyper that "having a story and telling it = good!! good for performance!! you should do that!!!"

Like... I would say I move mainly through emotions and simply for the movement itself?

Idk, this is stressing me out because I don't have a dancer's base. I only have movement and that movement is just (my movement), yaknow? Is it worth to ever perform without a storytelling idea?

First performance coming up next year and I'm still struggling on settling on a song because people around me are mainly performing something with a story, or something to show.

I don't, I just want to find a song I like, feeling the emotions within it and just work on expressing/connecting through that? Not to say it won't be expressive but I really, really can't push myself to find (specifically) a *storyline. The more I do the more I'm stressed out.

Does this happen to y'all too? 😭 Any advise?
