About Afro Mosaic Soul: LIBATION tonight w/Carlos Mena
Mosaic Soul is the dance style, AfroMosaicSoul is the collective. Mosaic Soul is the next evolution of dance. The newest form of African American social dance has risen from the underground. It carries the genetic traits of its forbears: African dance, Latin dance, tap, modern, popping & locking, break dancing(b-boying), hip hop, house dance, lofting and capoiera to name a few. As each movement has a parent in jazz, gospel, disco and R&B, it left us the offspring of house music. When the love of dancing to soulful house music expanded, this formation occurred. The boundaries of how one typically dances to soul was broken. We freed our rhythmic instincts creating a style we coined Mosaic Soul. The style, like water, can conform to the shape of any rhythm while retaining it's essential properties. We dance to music of all genres, extracting the soul that is inherent in the rhythm. Our nature is similar to the eclectic funk of vintage Soul Train reruns. We use our body as a musical instrument and create the balance between freestyle, improv and choreography. Now imagine this: friends with like minds & spirits come together as dancers. Some trained and some untrained. They ditch their rhythmic normalcy and bend rules as they see fit. Like the Super Friends, members (coming from all over) battle stress and convention in the underground dance scene (an environment where all races and cultures gather to move uninhibitedly to eclectic tunes from all over the world). The music is a mere blank canvas and the movements are strokes of a brush. When the music stops, a masterpiece is formed ...... Afro Mosaic Soul Dance Collective. Unique, effortless, gyrated sways, flips, holds, and footwork that is inherent and in all of us. It's comparative to singing in the shower or car when no one is around. Imagine dancing with that same idea...... "exactly"! That's Afro Mosaic Soul. It's about being free and letting yourself go. It is the expression of our innermost thoughts. It is what we feel and how we live. It is the combination of many songs, many dances and many stories told and untold. It is our past, present and future. It is our way of life. Mosaic in style, Mosaic in rhythm, Mosaic in presence.
