Dragon House Chinese Biography
Source(google.com.pk)
So I discovered two loves this year... my love of toy robots (as expressed in the form of O'BOTS) and dance... Ok, I've loved dance before this year but have recently embraced the activity as something that I would actually do as opposed to just watch. Anyway, who knew that I would be able to celebrate my love of dance and robots in one shot?
A little background... I am a HUGE fan of the dance competition, So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD). Each year, I am blown away by the talent and the passion of the dancers and choreographers, from the auditions all the way through to the finale. Each year, a "favorite" emerges earlier and earlier for me as the show is amazing at capturing the personal stories of the dancers.
My initial favorite was Hampton "Xcercist" Williams. I've probably contributed about 1,000 of the views on his audition on YouTube. After he graciously bowed out of the competition, I turned to the Dragon House Crew... three gentleman who showcased their dub steppin' animatin' talents at the Atlanta auditions... Boris "Top Knoch" Penton, Cyrus "Glitch" Spencer & Andre "Androiid" Rucker.
Prior to viewing Dragon House's audition, I wouldn't have considered myself a fan of this robotic style of dance. Consider me a convert now... But it wasn't just the dancing that won me over. It was their spirit... the care they expressed for each other... At one point, after one dancer was eliminated after a group performance, Cyrus was visibly affected and expressed that if he had worked a little bit harder, maybe all of them would have made it to the next round.
Of the three Dragon House members, Cyrus "Glitch" Spencer made it to the Top 20, but not without a lot of sweat and tears. After underperforming during a ballroom routine, Glitch was asked by the judges to "dance for his life" in order to continue through to the next round.
I was blown away by Cyrus' confidence... and humility. Here are just a few snippets of his interview, before and after he had to dance for his life that resonated with me:
I get to be myself 100%. There's no better feeling than being myself. I cannot wait to show... what I got."
"I got something the world needs to see."
"I need to go ahead and step my game up... Apparently there's another level of hard that I ain't working and I need to get there."
New York writer (and former dancer), Tamsin Silver summarized Cyrus' trajectory on the show nicely in her blog... In summary, it's the way he dances, his passion and commitment to each new dance and the way he hugs his friends after they've been eliminated from the show. That can't be taught. He is not performing for the cameras. He is just being himself.
Just watch some of Cyrus' performances (and his progression) in group routines and while partnered with fellow contestant Eliana, all-stars Jaime, Melanie, Comfort and Twitch and choreographer, Christopher Scott:
