Dancing Beyond the Borderline

1/10/2020

5 Comments

 
Dancing Beyond the Borderline provides first account recollections of the Great Migration, a look at life in Chicago's infamous Black Belt through Jazz in the Alley founder Jimmy Ellis, and a forward to a celebration of resilience through Black social dances of the 1990's. This excerpt of the work features South Chicago Dance Theatre company member Shannon Washington dancing to Al Green's "Summertime" in an ode to my great grandmother, who migrated to Chicago's Black Belt during the Great Migration.

These dancers are more flexible than a elastic band. I have seen their dance once and believe me I just gone shocked. I know they practice so hard for this but the result of their handwork was so crazy.

The article, and more importantly, your personal experience, are excellent tools for deliberately using our emotions as data about our inner condition and understanding when it's best to de-escalate by taking a time out. These dancers are more malleable than a rubber band. I saw their dance once and was completely taken aback.

I suffered from what they called peripheral artery disease (PAD). I have been suffering for years, Me and my wife searched for a medical cure, and then we came across a testimony of a man who suffered the same and was cured by Dr Chief Lucky. So my wife and I contacted Dr Chief Lucky via an email and thank God he replied. I explained what was wrong and he sent me herbal medicines that helped heal me completely. I am happy to say that herbal medicine is the ultimate and Dr Chief Lucky I am grateful. You can contact him on his email: chiefdrlucky@gmail.com or whatsapp: +2348132777335, Facebook page: http://facebook.com/chiefdrlucky or website: https://chiefdrlucky.com/.
