Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

Thank You for your Beauty!
Namaste… Michael !

Whatever has been said or will be said about Michael Jackson,one thing is for certain, he had a powerful gift and he gave it! He was a Bright Star amongst a ‘world of planets’!
What is the difference between a Planet and a Star?

“Stars are huge balls of hot gas that emit their own light . Stars burn hydrogen in their cores and have nuclear fusion going on inside. A planet does not have nuclear fusion. A planet is a world like the Earth. Unlike stars, planets get their light from the Sun.”

Stars emit their own light…Planets only reflect light!

Michael Jackson gave his light through every possible aspect of Music and Dance! From a Dancer’s perspective his movement was truly ‘Stellar’ ….the visual he created with his ‘moonwalk’ and all of his dancing, expanded our perception of the human body, movement and gravity!
Michael was truly a ‘Cosmic Dancer’!

Here is a montage of Michael’s Best Dance Moves! (if your time is limited..don’t miss ’3:34′ time on the vid…Wow!) Read the rest of this entry »

 Do we have confusion about fusion?

I thought it was very interesting that recently a Belly Dancer was in the Semi-Finals of Britain’s Got Talent! Actually she is from Latvia, Julia Naidenko..a beautiful girl and she can move.  When I saw it I was not inspired because she was dancing to a western pop song, Moulin Rouge. I just couldn’t ‘feel’ her dance.  

 After a bit of research I discovered that the song was selected by the Britain’s Got Talent people, behind the scenes. Julia wanted to dance to a drum solo yet, the usual ‘talent management brokers’ were once again deciding what would be appealing to the public.
You Decide!
Here is a short clip..(the only one that would allow me to embed…embedding suspended at YouTube for Julia!!)
