Music.
It gets me through my day, inspires me and of course gets my body shaken and grooving to wee ours of the morning. It's a loud universal language, which is silenced by linguistics. Language is based on visual rather than auditory senses, which is an interesting fact and brings me to my incredible evening that I had Monday evening..
I went to an event Monday night called The Floor which was held at a little tiny venue called King King. King King is as big as someone’s garage, with lasers and strobe lights and one piece of art work that's made out of cloth,
"Love, Music"
Even though it's a smaller venue, it has good acoustics and speaker placement, there's nothing like a rocking bass when you’re rocking out.
The event was an improvised collaboration of musicians, singers and dancer. That's the only information I knew going in, I wasn't really sure what to except.
Ladies and gentleman, I had my mind literally blown. I'll walk you through it.
Got to King King, met up with Kristelle, (who invited me) we dealt with the big bouncer who is always at the door ( he might live there, not confirmed) paid the ticket lady and off we went. Down the white hallway lined with old posters from previous events, turned down another small hallway and into a packed swinging, salsa, free style dancing extravaganza. The music was pumping, guitarist, drummer, key board and singers were jamming, the venue was alive! I didn't have anything on my face but a huge smile, I was in new age dirty dancing!
Throughout the night all styles of dance were performed, Jazz Hip hop, Funk, Freestyle, Salsa, Flamenco, Ballroom and House. The Music was just as diverse with DJ's, Funk bands, Rockers, and Salsa.
The performers at this event were not paid or scheduled to go on at anytime, they got in a large circle and did what they did best, D.A.N.C.E like no know was watching.
The Talent was out of this world. Each dancer craved to get in the middle of a formed circle, just to have the opportunity to express themselves. At one point, some of the dancers would want to get in the middle so bad they would get mad, but they wouldn't yell or use there fist, they would use their body to show their frustration and dance in front of the other person, letting them know it was their turn. One dancer tripped right in front me as she was walking out the circle, she said, "Jeez, I can dance better then I can walk!" we shared a laugh.
Bottom line, I had an inspiring, epic Monday evening and can't wait to attend the next event, if you live in LA I suggest you come with me!
