Seven years of Bounce
So I just finnished watching a show about Swedens best dance group of all times within hip hop (of all time) and I was almost moved to tears. Those people have been present as huge role models in my life for about seven years now and now they are no longer Bounce. They are still here and dancing, sure, but is it really the same thing?
People may call me a crazy fan of some sort but hey if they get something out of that than be my guest. Those seven people represented so much more than just the annual show production and the regular classes they teach. They represented something that most people wouldn't understand, that most people call steps and cool clothes. That most people calla cry for attention and fame. But for the people who actually know what they stand for, who know what they represent, THEY know that these people stand for words sos trong they can not be told. Words such as hope, love, determenation, trust, expression and sacrifice.
Hope: They were and still are a becon of hope for people who do not consider themselves special and for people who do. They showed us that if you really want somethine, if you really need something you just have to reach out and grab it. As they finnished their last show with the strong message of don't ever let noone tell you to grow up and give up on your dreams not a single pair of eyes were left dry. They inspired people to go for what they want and for what they dream of.
Love: No matter how big they got and how known they became across the globe they showed nothing but love and respect to people of all ages no matter if they know them or not. They greet you with a smile that warms your heart and inspires you and the speak with such enthusiasm showing no doubt in who they are or what they stand for.
Determenation: As I have made pretty clear this far they inspire, they are inspiration leaders that shine with determenation. To live in a small and pretty mediocre country such as Sweden with an audience that's hard to catch and have dreams so "abnormal" and for fetched as becoming a dancer and actually making it these people deserve a standing ovation. People have been jealous and people have tried to be obsticles for them but this has simply been percieved as a light breeze touching their hair. To be as determined as these people are is something most people strive for in their lives but give up half way. When most people reach this point they settle and say that they gong to be the best that THEY can be (which is a bullshit statement when you can be THE best, period!).
Trust and sacrifice: I put these two together because according to me they go hand in hand. If I have my facts right they met when they were a bit older than myself and right then and there they started on a journey they would not let go of easily. The took each other in with their extreme differences and made it work and off they went to where they are now. I'm sure it hasn't always all glamour and scott free but that they see each other as their best friends or even as their family is an image to look up to. They gave each other their all and they put their heart and soul into something that takes a lot of sacrifice. They are not that much older than me but dancing wasn't as accepted when they first began so they gave up the "regular" life of the typical swede and embrased the life as something many people would raise an eyesbrow to. They sacrificed the well being of their bodies and some might have even postponed the idea of starting a family.
Last but not least, expression: They MASTER a language a very small percent of people who walk this earth do. A language we all know as dancing but that is so much more than the word describes. Dancing is to most people a series of movements in concert with music also sometimes illustrating the lyrics. Fine this may be a fancy description, but it is so much more than just this. I would say that dancing is a lifestyle consisting of a series of feelings put into a way that people can interpret in their own may, with or without music. A way for the person who is either good or bad with words to get something off their chest and express it in a way that takes full concentration and comes out in a way that can neither be right nor wrong.
To finnish this off I would of course like to thank Bounce for the precious moments they have knowingly or unknowingly given me but I would also like to finnish this off with a question.
Will you settle to be the best YOU can be? Or will you be THE best?
Peace! ;) <3
P.S excuse my spelling...very tired and just enthusiastic at the moment. :p
