Friday Video Feed!

Because it's still that good.  Also, remember when Destiny's Child jacked that entrance?

Because MODA 2013 is almost here!

Because...it's the weekend.  What else are we going to do?

Friday Video Feed!

Gotta get up and try.

"Movement has always been a necessary part of my life...like breathing or eating.  Movement, at my very core, is an external expression of all that I think, dream, and imagine.  I remember being a young child, and how I was always happiest when dancing.  Even in car rides, or at school, I would dance a complete piece of choreography with my fingers, and still get similar satisfaction.  And now as an adult, movement is vital to connect with my creative consciousness.  I'm always amazed with the high frequency bliss that results from even a few minutes of moving about.  Of course, being an artist, if the movement does not feel right, it can also put you in the worst of moods.  What i've learned in my experiences so far as a student, professional dancer, and choreographer, is to really trust in the movement that is created by one's self.  That is truly a part of being in flow.  That is also a huge part of experiencing the gift of movement that is uniquely yours." - Nick Florez 

Nick Florez has been working with pop star Pink on her new video "Try". BreakOut cannot express how excited and proud we are for Nick's latest accomplishments and honored to have him tied into our BreakOut Studios community. We wish him the best of luck with his new journey. Check out the amazing choreography done by Nick in the video below. Life Moves .. Move with it. 

Friday Video Feed: The Songs

A little late in the game with this one, but Ben Howard turns a bubble-gum pop song into art with his cover of "Call Me Maybe".

This is my relationship with my iPhone.  Don't look at me.

Timely in that Lucas Films was recently bought out by Disney.  Prepare for further massacring of the trilogy.

Help BreakOut Studios Grow!

The Start.

by Sam Quinn

Came across this commercial while watching the Olympics. I thought the message was beyond perfect and can relate to everyone and anyone. Remember to always cherish the start, as it ultimately will determine the outcome of the end. Be the best you can be forever and always. Life Moves, Move with It.

August 4th, BreakOut Youth Company Auditions!

Facebook Event Page

The BreakOut Studios Team consists of 13 of my best friends, there is no other group of people that I would rather spend my time in the studio with. Despite the wide range of ages and levels, there is an incredible amount of support for one another that is present, and that is a rarity amongst competitive dance teams. To be on this team is to have constant reassurance that there is someone who will never see you as anything less than wonderful. Growth is inevitable when you're a member of this team, both as a dancer and a human being. Emotional freedom and expression are equally as stressed as technique by the fantastic instructors we are surrounded by. I absolutely love every moment I get to spend with the amazing people I call my team, watching everyone grow and flourish has been the driving force behind my years on the BreakOut Team. I could not possibly be more thankful for my exposure to the true meaning of dance, and that would not have been possible without BreakOut Studios.
-Jeze Zankich 

The Breakout Studios team is unlike any other around. This was my first year and I am truly blessed to have found this studio and be apart of it. Everyone here is so welcoming and focused on learning in a positive atmosphere. You learn so much about yourself as a dancer and it is a place where you can just be yourself- no judgements. I am so thankful for everyone here and all of their help and I can truly say, after all the search, this is where I am suppose to be. Everyone should come experience this and become part of this huge family.
-Faith Chapman  

I love team because it helped me to see that as long as I am comfortable I'm my own skin then it doesn't matter what others think. The atmosphere hear let's you truly be yourself so you can find yourself.
-Britta Bozarth  

Team is a place where I can be my happy bubbly self even if im really not feeling that way. It pushes me and pulls the best out of me when I need it the most. It's an unforgettable experience and I created many life long friend ships. I learn something new everyday that I can use in dance and apply to my own life. I could be having the worst day and everyone including the teachers make me smile. Anyone would love being apart of this team,it's an honor.
-Imani Wilson  

 BreakOut Studios is a great place to dance, but even better place to be on a dance team. The staff and fellow team members are nothing but supportive and fun to be around people. You could be the worst dancer or the best, and they will treat you the same. At BreakOut, everyone gets that moment of spotlight. Everyone gets fair treatment and everyone is equal. They care about helping you improve as not only a dancer, but person as well. Throught my year at BreakOut, on team, I can honestly say, that I made real friends and had real good times and laughs with everyone. I opened up and realized it is more than okay to be yourself. Team is an honor and is worth every mintue of classes and pratices. Being a part of team is a great experince that everyone should try out for and be a part of this loving dance family. If you want to have a great time dancing, laughing, and growing, BreakOut Studios' team is the perfect place for you.

Your Monday Inspiration: John Cleese on Cultivating Creativity

by Jolie Roberson

I have grown up on John Cleese.  My mother was a huge fan of "Fawlty Towers" and "Monty Python" so, of course, I am now a huge fan.  I find these videos below to be inspirational not just because I adore John Cleese, but because I have a reference now of what it took to create all that he has created.  It's so disheartening to try and try to create and get nowhere, I know I've been there my fair share of the time, but what he says specifically about tolerating the discomfort of not having an answer in order to come up with the most creative solution made my day.  "Look, baby-cakes, I don't have to decide 'til Tuesday."  Enjoy, be inspired, play!

Your Monday Inspiration

by Jolie Roberson

GetUp! Australia is an independent movement to build a progressive Australia and bring participation back into [their] democracy.  I'm not going to lie, this video made me a bit misty and pretty effectively drives home the point that love is love is love.  Love is not the color of your skin, your religion, or your sex.  We should seek to experience love in any form it takes.

Time-lapse Visual Stimuli

by Jolie Roberson

I'm completely obsessed with time-lapse videos, and these are three of my favorites.  What I love most about them is the feeling that everything I'm experiencing right now is so terribly insignificant and yet wholly special.  I don't know, it's a perspective thing, I guess.  What little of this life we are given goes by in the blink of an eye and that point is made obvious in watching these short films.  They make you more appreciative of what you have while you have it.

Your Monday Daily Affirmations

by Sam Quinn

If we all can just absorb some of this little girl's love of life, the world would be a better place. And in the words of Jessica, remember you "can do anything good". Life Moves, move with it. And smile through it.
