Recently I had the chance to have a deep conversation with a dear family friend...my sistah...a strong proud beautiful Black wife, mother, daughter...an educated gifted women, accomplished in the art of dance (a passion we both share). Our chat was in regards to our personal observations, views, and opinions of our generation (generation X) and its current state of mind.

Singer Brandy will be on DWTS this season. The other cast memebers include Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Bristol Palin, Michael Bolton, Kurt Warner, Rick Fox, Jennifer Grey, David Hasselhoff, Florence Henderson, Kyle Massey, Margaret Cho & Audrina Patridge. This should be a very interesting season. Brandy is a good vocalist but I have to wait and see if she's as good as a dancer.

Being a dancer you have to stay in shape. That is why I love working out at the gym and in the dance studio. It is so much fun and it is so god for you. I am very obsessed with my stomach and I am working so hard to keep a small stomach, but what do you do to keep it that way? What if for some reason you create a little bulge?

Three years,...three years without a technique class. Is it my fault? The community I am in? Or life itself? Well, all I know is that I am truly ashamed of what my technique has become. How did I let it get this way? Something I call my passion, my heart, my life has suffered severely and now I am at the very beginning. What I sacrificed to get in the town I am in now,... was it all worth it?

Have you heard the saying, "Those who cant dance, teach and those who cant teach, dance?" Well I believe it is not that easy. Teaching is not just showing someone how to do a dance step, it is an art just like dance itself. You have to have a very creative and intelligent mind to figure out ways to teach someone that has two left feet how to dance and dance well.

Wow, who'd a thunk it? I am so shocked I resulted to horrible grammar. After about two years of not taking a technique class I found myself attempting dance steps only to find that I suck after not dancing so long. I thought that I would at least still be able to work it just not as full out as I would like but I look horrible now.

DOAN is going to introduce DOAN CHAT. You can now easily chat with any of the other dancers online. This will be another GREAT way to socialize and network within the community. We are excited about the feature and hope you will be as well. So stay tuned for DOAN CHAT and more exciting features to come.

Like sugar needs salt to sometime balance out the taste or hot water needs cold water to make lukewarm to get the perfect temperature so does my body need dance. I dance to converse with the world, to speak what I dare not express openly to someone. Why? because dance can be brutally honest without hurting someone and it can make someone the happiest at the very moment.
