It’s around 3:00 P.M on
a Saturday afternoon. I am at the Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso Texas. There are
at least 800 people here on a mission. Some people are just window shopping
while others have tons of shopping bags. I am zeroing in on this one particular
group of individuals however. It seems that the individuals are in a dance
crew. By the style of clothing they are wearing it seems that they are in a Hip
Hop dance group. They are dressed in: red tank tops, baggy camouflage and black
Nike high tops.
There is a mixture of people in this crew: males and females of
Hispanic, White, Black and Asian race. Their age range seems to be from 10-20
years of age. It appears they are getting ready to take the stage that is set
up in the main entrance of the mall. To my surprise the type of dance is a mix
of Reggaeton (Reggae mixed with Rap) and R&B (rhythm and blues).
They have
danced for about 12 minutes a total of 3 songs. All of the dancers seem so
enthusiastic about dancing. The dancers are interacting with the audience and
getting them all pumped up to get active. The music is nice and loud and catchy.
The dancers are very energetic. Although the dances are choreographed, I can
tell that each one of these individuals have their own unique dance style.
I must say I am really enjoying seeing all
these people from various backgrounds and cultures find something in common and
collaborate with each other and share it with others!
