My Top Choreographers

Keone Madrid - Youtube.com/K3on3 Choreo Cookies Choreographer. Amazing creativity. Lots of swag but still very sharp movements 3. Brain Puspos - Youtube.com/BRAINPUSPOS The ArchiTEKs Choreographer.

Don't feed this dancer

11:13 AM J.Jay

Night after night, I sit here wide awake. Hours upon hours of choreography. Practicing and training constantly. Just when I think I'm done I lay down, just to get back up and fix and change everything I just stopped doing. Finally I fall asleep around 6am. When I wake up 4 hours later and the first thing I do is change everything again because I feel its not perfect. One night sat down and grabbed a piece of paper and wrote to myself"Why does it never seem like anything is perfect,huh ? Why do you work so hard ??WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF ?!?"On that same piece of paper, myself wrote back..." I am afraid of failure, that's why I refuse to know that feeling".I threw the paper out, Danced until 6am, changed everything three times, fell asleep, woke up and changed it 2 more times. I'm still not satisfied...

Drake - Get Over It

10:23 AM J.Jay

While it isn't one of Drake's newest songs I still love it. It's how I feel about certain people sometimes. I've gotten in trouble numerous times because fake ass people feel like these lyric are directed at the them. "I keep it generic and these n*ggas take it personally. If I was in a room and someone yells HEY B*TCHES ,I just never turn around because i just don't fit the description....

Thank You..

1:22 AM J.Jay

Lately I've been getting things on twitter and facebook from people calling me an inspiration in dance. I just want to say thank you for supporting me enough to believe in my words and actually taking them to heart. Your the one that actually inspires me to keep pushing forward. Without the love and support, I probably would have given up a long time ago. Remember it's going to take countless nights of you looking like me in the picture above but if you keep pushing, nothing is impossible. THANK YOU - J....

11:20 AM J.Jay

Alrght Prelude NE was yesterday. Of Course we went and did our thing. Sadly we came in 4th. I'm not mad at the results at all. As a choreographer, I just took it as a learning experience. Everybody in DysFUNKtional Solez are amazing dancers so, now its time to take it the next level. Bigger and more seamless formation changes, stunts, ripples. We need to show that we can do more than dance. We gotta make each performance a SHOW. We need to take the energy we have and take it to the next stage. Expect way more from us. Expect a show from us.On a better note, we did gain alot of respect and fans in Boston. Before the show even started the boys gained a huge fan-base just by dancing and playing around. By the time we hit the stage, We had a crowd that never even heard of us excited to see what...

In touch

10:03 PM J.Jay

I've always been in touch with my creative side but lately me and this huge sketch pad have been great friends. Markers, pencils, decos, canvas, and charcoal. Ive spent less time in front of this computer and more time laying in my living room. Munnys and this sketch pad are becoming so much cooler to me. Illustrations are so cool. Hopefully my school gives me my camera so you guys can see some things. As dance goes, I've been in the lab training. Must keep pushing, must keep training. I refuse to be average. Alright this is enough rambling. Return to your normally scheduled day...
