MY videos: Rose Coloured Glasses

Hello! My laziness has been overcome by the desperation of wanting more students and friends in my class that I have finally edited and posted another class video!

This routine was choreographed when I was feeling slightly under the weather, hence the hint of sadness and my portrayal of that feeling you get when you just want to stay in bed and never get up to face the world.

A little more personal look into this routine is how I sort of feel about other people looking into my own relationships, a phenomenon which I believe you could probably empathize with. This is about the feeling when you think that other people can only see the outside, the artificial, superficial side of your own relationships. You believe that they are wrong, and think that they don't know the rest of it. It's when people say, "Aww, they're perfect for each other!" and I think, "You have no idea what we've been through - the struggles, the blood, sweat and tears - you don't know the rest of it."

Rose Coloured Glasses, as Rowland rightly says, are the glasses that outside people use to look at your relationship. Everything is rosy, or "peachy" and fine. Lately I have been feeling a sense of pressure to live up to other people's expectations of how my relationships should be, and not how they really are. As a result, this way of thinking, as expected, harms what I actually have ("We have to be perfect. We have to always be happy. We need to act this way"). I guess I care a little too much about how people think about me. I try to express this... feeling of pressure and hurt and sadness when you compare what people say about you and what you really know of your own relationship, through this routine. Hopefully you can see that.

This can also be related to success, the way I see it. When people see success in you, they don't know whatsoever what you've done and what you've sacrificed in order to get there. All they see are the glitters, the confetti, and camera flashes of success that hide the training, scars and battle wounds that you've accumulated over the years. Everyone has their own story, and only you can know the truth and perseverance of your own story.

I love that I have an outlet for my emotions, thoughts and feelings that is healthy and can really show my side of things. Really, what would I do without dance.

I hope you like it!
