She was the Co-Director of the After School Matters Dance Ensemble, an advanced apprenticeship program for Chicago high school students and a dance instructor at The Dance Gallery in northwest Indiana.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Dancing is literally therapeutic to me. It's the only thing that makes me genuinely smile with inner satisfaction especially when I'm freestyling deep into the music. Nobody can understand it, not from where I live. It is for this reason that I'm able to actually approach each song differently 'cause I try to understand the song or interpret the vibe especially in edm or classical type of music where there is no lyrics.
Edit: I incorporate many styles like popping, hiphop, contemporary, and dancehall, but waacking is my main style of dance. There is something freeing with throwing your arms and spinning hands in a calculated yet open direction. I feel like I become one with the instruments and song when I'm moving along.
I agree with you, but this technique of making a person is temporary we should search for inner peace.
For example: I'm sad so I will dance to lift my mood but after dancing I again became sad so search for permanent cause rather than these temporary techniques.
Hi @@badassgamerz123 In my experience it can create permanent changes in the way we think and feel, especially if done over time. Feeling happy and confident in ones own body, creative, empowered, artistic. It goes much beyond a temporary mood lift but can actually help process connect with yourself and your emotions and solve more permanent aspects. Just my perspective. Respectfully, Matt
There is a new TED talk about Twerk: The Healing power of Twerk. It has research involved, worth it to check it out!
this is beautiful. im a dancer I undergrad rn and I love that sense of therapy through dance. its so powerful
I know what you mean 🫶🏾
I love dancing. May I just say it is so vulnerable and brave of these two dancers to stand up there with no music and dance in front of an audience.
Dance is also a way of healing 🌈❤️🧘♀️
It's incredible how dance helps us grow as a human on a holistic level.
I'm watching this because my prof said so. I hate online classes.
Very good points mentioned... Dance is really such a powerful tool to express oneself for everyone.
Nobody but themselves cares about ones "self expression". It's then pretty useless and an accessory at best.
@@s3ntin3l60 of course people care... otherwise they would never follow you in social media and check every 5 minutes your story. people are naturally curious and attracted by beauty and how people express their beauty in every way and form.
@@gea303 Well said
im 49 years old.. i love dancing.
I have to watch this for dance class
me too
I had to watch this for a Humanities Class, going back now to review before my exam!
What about talking emotional health they gain being connected to their body. Also ownership and control of their own body is valuable 🙏
Beautiful
Thank you 🙏🏽 💯👆🏽🥰
I’m watching this off free will
But what was written on the paper???

Poor sound quality of the video and I can't understand a single thing. ...it's very sad
I thought it's my speaker issue because it happened with me whole day today.
i can hear just fine.
if you sit next to the (laptop) you could hear it properly
?? English it's not my native language and i can understand what she says, you can read the captions
The audio is quite less audible, they can do better.
Ha.....joke.
Those dancers were mediocre as hell.
no they weren't like to see you try
Ok. let's say they are mediocre. Then that adds up to the point! she is trying to show how powerful is dance and how even non-advanced dancers can experience the numerous benefit of dance (I mean, she would rather not ask super-professional dancers to help her, because the audience will get very sceptical and may think that the dancers have pre-choreographed for the talk). However, in reality, these dancers are not mediocre, man. look at their flow, control, flexibility, interactions and synchronization. It is really not easy to maintain all of those aspects when you are dancing. I think you should try her challenge with your friend and then you will know what I mean :)
Dance is for the joy of everybody.....don’t judge, just dance. Same with singing.
Why do you choose to say hurtful things?
