SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE? BUT WHY...

Samantha Ronson DJing at BAR210 for Carlos E. Lopez birthday party

DJ Samantha Ronson & NeverWood High Carlos E. Lopez @ BAR210Have you ever looked around the room at your friends dancing...

It's something I do quite often and wonder what gets people off their feet and onto the dance floor.

Friends of NeverWood High Jon Chu created movies around dancing and Adam Shankman incorporated dance into this years Oscars.

It's something we have been doing from glamorous past to street dancing with a blast.

Is it simply the music, or the open bar sponsored by Svedka, is it the Red Bull in our Vodka or the freedom we have when our bodies move across the dance floor.  

I've been blessed to have been surrounded by such great musicians and pretty convenient that some of my besties are my favorites DJ's.  I would have to say, what makes me dance is the smile on my friends faces and the masterminds that put the beat under our feet.

Oh... and I guess how amazing they all look giggling and wiggling with their Brazilian blow outs, 6 inch stilettos and can still strike a pose while they're Dancing on the Ceiling!

A NEW REVOLUTION

Sitting in my History class at school.  I remember learning about all these different moments in time. Moments that seemed so foreign to me.  But, instead of just teaching me about what has happened in the past. No one really said anything about what could happen in the future.  My future.  My kids future.  

In my lifetime the Berlin Wall has come down, Donna Martin Graduated, an athlete broke his own records and won 8 gold medals in the Olympics.  Our Nation was attacked on September 11th and rebuilt with something that is not easily broken, American spirit.  Leaving a nation ready for change and hope, which led to our new President in office. 

All of these historical events that I mentioned above, all share one thing in common.

UNITY

People helping people.  People standing up for what they believe in.  People cheering for who they believe in. Most importantly, people expressing their LOVE for other people.

Whether you believe in Equality for all or not.  To be a part of a demonstration, like the one last Tuesday, was quite a sight to see.  It gave me a feeling inside that I was once again a part of history.
