It's every white girl's dream (well, mine anyway) to be surrounded by crowds screaming her name while she breaks out move after move in perfect rhythm to the music.
But since moving from the US, I've been disappointed by the lack of good dancers on the club scene. When you find good dancers, it's to drum'n'bass rather than hip-hop, which I consider to be the foundation of modern dancing. I decided it was up to me to start a revolution.
My friend Awon and I were in Yumla one night looking for some good beats at MC Ghost Style's CD release party. Although his flow was tight, everyone was standing around watching him perform, without even a head nod. Awon and I decided to move to the front to pump it up.
With the aid of a few shooters, we started with a few moves that slowly evolved into what I've called Spadance - the merging of sports and dance. Imagine a game of tennis, and then imagine playing tennis with late rapper Old Dirty Bastard. He wouldn't just hit the ball - he'd put a beat to it. From tennis, we moved on to basketball and it slowly escalated into a dance-off between Awon and I.
Soon we had a crowd. I might be biased but I'm pretty sure I won when I got down on the floor and did a synchronised swimming routine. Before my eyes my fantasy came true: Awon and I were the centre of attention.
