The body is a beautiful thing and today I got to explore, shake, and twerk what my momma gave me. LOL! Get your mind out the hoochie videos of todays era...I'm talkin about in dance class - West African that is. We are getting ready for our fall performance and we are doing Sabar. I have been dancing for about 13years now and I absolutely love it, but SABAR is the one dance that makes me want to crawl under a table and hide. Its not for the faint at hart thats for sure. For the most part I think I have the basics, but Sabar is so much more than that. You have to have that swagger, that hot sauce, that super size me - give me more kinda flavor when you dance it. I gotta get my practice on thats for sure.
Whats funny is that I was picked to perform Lumbo - the part of the dance meant for our more juicy sistas. While I think I still kind of fit into that category - I need to renew my confidence and use the moves I used to make babies to perform this effortlessly. I mean...I can't have my gorgeously pregnant teacher/friend showing me out! LOL! There is no excuse for me not being able to touch the floor and twerk my hips when she does it at 8 months pregnant. Sabar does however bring out the joy in my heart - it just puts a smile on your face and thats always a good thing.
