words about dancers

I am a twenty-one years old University student. Although I study languages and literature, my biggest passion has always been dancing. I believe that dancers are artists expressing themselves through movement, and I created this blog in order to allow words describe dancers, as much as possible. You will find here my own thoughts about them and also interviews that will certainly contain things you did not know about some of them before visiting WordsAboutDancers.  Inspired by World Of Dance.

D-Trix & The Comedy

 Dominic Sandoval is a dancer that took the TV screen firstly with So You Think You Can Dance, and then continuing with America's Best Dance Crew. As a member of Quest Crew, he won the title of America's Best Dance Crew, becoming well-known not only in the USA, but also in the World. 

 Personally, I became a fan of his since I first saw a video of him from SYTYCD. He seemed so charismatic and so funny, I just couldn't resist. Then, it was when I fist saw him on ABDC that I really started to enjoy his dance style. He was killing that stage every single week, I remember how excited I was to see each trick that he would bring to the new performances. Dominic Sandoval and his crew entirely dominated the ABDC stage, until they managed to take the title home.

 What I most love about his recent work is the fact that even though his youtube channel focuses on comedy, he also integrates dancing into the videos. This is what makes it so special and different from all others with the same theme, apart from the fact that he is one of the funniest men I've seen. Together with his friends, mostly dancers, he ''causes'' a lot of laughter to the viewers. 

 Dominic Sandoval is a great dancer that animates his performances with his charisma, as much as he makes us laugh on youtube.

Scott Forsyth- The New Talent of the World Of Dance Scene

About a year and a half ago I wrote about Scott Forsyth, presenting him as one of my biggest inspirations. At that time, I was deeply hoping that he would become known on the dance scene and that he would receive the attention and respect he deserves. 

 Looking at him now, Scott is not the same choreographer and dancer I accidentally found on youtube long time ago. Scott Forsyth has improved his style enormously in the last year and now he kills the stage of WOD every single time. Each choreography reveals smarter moves and his charisma takes over the entire performance. 

 I knew that he was to become greater and also, appreciated in the dance community. The negative comments on youtube only show that the world was not ready for what Scott had to offer. Yet, he is valued by the important choreographers that dominate the dance scene, and this is a reason why anyone should watch him carefully because he belongs to the future of dancing. 

 As I see things, Scott Forsyth accentuates the importance of dance as an art of creation. The lyrics play a defining role in his craft, as he combines moves that highlight both the beats and the verses. His soul becomes visible the moment he starts the performance.

 To end up with, I see Scott Forsyth as the next great choreographer, traveling the world to teach and inspire, along with the very best.

Jaja Vankova- Living the American Dream

 Jaja Vankova is a well-known female dancer, member of IaMmE Crew, aka the winners of America's Best Dance Crew Season 6. She left her home country to pursue her dream of becoming a great dancer and she managed to develop a career out of her passion. She never stops evolving, growing and becoming even more creative.

One of your most recent accomplishments is taking on the So You Think You Can Dance journey. How do you feel about it? Did it contribute in any way to make you grow as a dancer or as an individual?

It was the hardest show I have ever did. It was a challenge and it made me a better person in some way. It was definitely a crazy journey. People can not see the reality of this show from the screen. It made me grow as an individual but not as a dancer.

Since America's Best Dance Crew, we've seen you constantly trying new things, different styles of dancing, collaborations, and unseen before concepts. Do you ever think about just sticking with one style and focusing just on it? Or do you still feel the need to explore as much as you can?

I never think about sticking only with one style, because I feel like there is so much more I can do and learn even if i will be 50 years old.

At your age, having such an impressive career is very rare and amazing. Out of everything that you've done, which is the most meaningful thing to you?

I think the most meaningful thing for me is to improve and progress every day. Without my progress I wouldn't be doing all the amazing things in my life. I know there are lots of dancers out there that book a world tour with an artist and they feel like their life is complete and they don't need to practice anymore. But for me, a big success makes me work even harder because there are lots of eyes on me at that moment and i never want to fail. But I'm still working for the most meaningful thing.  

How would your life look now, if you hadn't moved to the USA? 

I would be bored at a college for lawyers.

If you would be given the opportunity to share the stage with your favorite artist, who would he/she be? 

Eminem.

Is there any country besides America and the Czech Republic that you would totally live in? Or, which one would you most like to visit?

I have visited about 24 countries, but the one I never visited yet and I want to visit the most is Japan.

Does LA feel like home? Are you fully accommodated to the American lifestyle?

No, I'm not fully accommodated in USA, but I know this is my future home so I work hard for it.

How was it when you first went there, did you find major difficulties in communicating with people? 

I did not speak English for the first 6 months I was here, so yeah, it was difficult.

Is acting something you see yourself exploring in the future? 

No.

What about an official website? 

Yeah I would want one, but there is no money for it now.

How do you feel about having so many young people looking up to you, from all over the world? 

I feel I have a big responsobility to do the right thing and inspire them the right way. But I'm blessed and thankful to have so many people looking up to me, I hope it will continue that way. I will work hard for it.

Jaja Vankova 10 years from now? 

I want to be happy, have a steady career, loving husband and children for sure!

Reasons Why Ian Eastwood Is Inspiring

Eastwood is definitely one of the greatest inspirations to me. Not only thanks of the fact that he is talented, but due to the fact that he works harder and harder to get to that level that he wants. 

He is that kind of artist that never disappoints with his craft. Never have I seen such passion in a human being, such desire to become greater and greater. I feel like dancing is a natural form of expression for him, and he uses all forms of creativity to reflect his feelings and his thoughts. 

Sometimes his choreographies don't even seem choreographies. It just feels like it all comes from inside at that specific moment. He truly deserves the title of a creator. His imagination is beyond powerful and it seems it has no limits. 

Ian Eastwood is one of the most influential artists leaving an amazing mark on my life, and hopefully he'll continue to do it in the future too. Even if we live in two complete opposite sides of the world, it feels amazing to be able to watch him grow, especially because we are the same age. 

Hopefully the future is good and he will be offered the opportunity to visit Romania, so I can thank him personally for every little thing he does for all of us.

Alexander Chung

Alexander Chung is one of those choreographers that really inspire you to keep loving the beautiful art of dancing. 

He is amazing not only as a choreographer, but also as a dancer. Watching him perform really brings joy to the viewer.

I absolutely love the fact that he always has some of the most talented dancers in his videos. 

Words are useless in describing what a great choreographer he is. Hopefully someday I will get the chance to thank him personally for sharing his art with the entire world. 

Much Love from Romania!

Lando Wilkins!

I don't even know how I could possibly start talking about this great, great choreographer. 

Lando is one of the most talented dancers I've ever seen. The way he hits every single beat leaves me speechless all the time. He is incredible. I've been following him on youtube for so many years but he never, never disappointed me.

He gets on another level of greatness with each choreography, with each freestyle, with each performance he delivers. 

Thank you Lando for being such an inspiring human being and thank you for changing lives all over the world. Come to Romania someday so I can personally thank you for everything. 

Much love!

Quick Crew.

You may know them as the amazing Norwegian dance crew that always holds classes at the Urban Dance Camp but actually I know them as some of the most innovative and original dancers and choreographers. 

As we can see on their official website, they started dancing in 2004 and have in few years managed to become one of the most successful dance crews in Europe. Now, I really think they are one of the most successful dance crews all over the world. 

Their style is so unique, and so quick, as the name says it. They really have something so incredible about them that the entire world needs to see. I really hope we will get to see them more at #UDC and #WOD and many other very important events. 

The energy behind every single performance is beyond extraordinary, and there are no words to describe their talent and passion for dancing.

Thank you, Quick Crew for being so damn inspirational. Hopefully you will come to Romania someday so I can thank you personally for everything. You are really, really amazing. 

Much Love!

She followed, retweeted and replied. 

How can somebody be that nice. 

[wordsaboutdancers]

Ya'll probably know her as the redheaded from Kyle Hanagami's videos. Well I know her as one of the most inspiring dancers. 

She is beyond beautiful and talented and she has a dope personality.

Her video entitled ''For the beautiful Patty Davidson'' is one of the most emotional and powerful I've seen. That choreography is really perfect not because of the movement but because of the feelings that dance expresses. I remember watching it for hours and not being able to stop the tears. Really, it's one of the most touching choreographies I've seen. It should be watched. [x]

Haley, you really are an amazing dancer and choreographer. Everytime Kyle releases a new video I get so excited not only to see him but also to see you! 

Can't wait for more videos on your channel.

Much Love!

Jawn Ha Ha Ha.

Have you seen his choreographies? If you don't think they're freakin' awesome, you must be out of your mind. Honestly, I cannot describe how I feel while watching him perform. His particular way of moving is insane. 

I will never ever get over his ''Push 'Em'' choreography. Every time I listen to that song, I have no idea what is going on in my mind but I have to stop anything that I'm doing and I just stay there like a fool, having him dancing in my mind. Honestly, that is the most powerful piece I've seen. (check it out! x)

Then we have ''Get Outta Your Mind'' and it makes me get outta my mind! Whaaaaat? How is it even possible for a human being to dance like that? To have so much energy and be so skilled and creative? You need to watch it to understand what I'm talking about! (x)

''Snap''! One of my favorite choreographies of all times. I remember one day, I was on the bus going home from the University and the song starts playing and I was like ''Hell yeaaah!''... everyone kept starring at me like I was some kind of weirdo or something but I can't control myself when I watch his choreographies or just have them in my head. (check that out x)

And there are so many more, I could talk about them all day and all night.

Thank you Jawn Ha for being so amazing. I've been supporting for a while and then, finding out you and Mos Wanted were going be on ABDC really made me so happy. Especially seeing how many people - how many supporters came along with the ABDC journey. 

So yeaaah. You are beyond amazing and creative. A great source of inspiration... meeting you is definitely one of my biggest dreams. Hopefully you'll make your way to Romania someday or I will- to the USA. 

Thank you for everything. Much Love!

Cierra Lauren!

She is such a beautiful young lady and such a beautiful dancer. I remember seeing a video of her long time ago and being like ''DAMN. How did I not know her before?''. Since then, I cannot stop watching her videos. Her choreography is so dope! She has a certain way of moving that just makes you love her. 

I truly believe she is an artist, not only an amazing dancer or choreographer. She inspires me so much because she really works so hard and the results really show up. 

Thank you, Cierra for sharing your creations with all of us and thank you for being so inspiring. Much Love!

The Genius Brian Martin.

Bam is one of the most inspirational choreographers ever. He is a genius, dude! I have never seen somebody like him, moving like him, creating the moves he creates. 

I am beyond thankful to America's Best Dance Crew for introducing me to this great artist. I've been following him ever since and seeing him go on the show with Mos Wanted was really amazing. He murdered the stage every single week, even if he had the problems he had with his family. 

I could start describing him by using all these words but to be honest, none of them would really express what I think of him because he is really beyond amazing, beyond inspiring, beyond creative and the list would never end. 

I couldn't be more thankful to Bam for sharing his passion for dancing with all of us. 

Bam, I cannot wait to see your choreographies in a few years and be as amazed as I am today while watching them. I truly hope the future is great for you and that I will have the chance to meet you and thank you personally. Maybe someday you'll have the opportunity to visit Romania... Much Love.
