People ,who know me, definitely know I DO NOT DANCE. You might wonder, then, how I got inspired by dancing if I don't dance. My dancing is not from showing off in the clubs; my dancing is for saying happy birthday to my Father, who is in Taiwan and couldn't celebrate with his daughter.
(Watch my happy birthday dance before continuing. Please do not laugh too loud.)
PS. this is just a rough cut, not for an Oscars film editing prize.
When I watch some dancing shows, America's Got Talent or Dance With the Stars I always feel very entertained. I feel like I want to dance. However I always know I would never be like those dancers. Who says we have to be like them? No one.We can dance for ourselves; we can dance for our lovers.
Before my father's birthday, I was thinking so hard of how to give him a surprise if I couldn't be with him. Send a card? Send a bottle of wine? Make a call? These ideas are so cliche'. I have done these so many times. I can dance. This dance is only for my father, not for the public. He has never seen my funny dancing, but I bet you, this would be a better dance than the pro dancer for him. I had so much fun shooting this video, because it was special dance, for someone who knew this is a special performance for them.This was for love not for publicity or winning.
