This week’s music is pretty mint although I wouldn’t
consider it a breaking tune. My slice of life will be short because well, the
song speaks for itself. As a bgirl in a male dominated culture I admire bboys
who give no easy props to us bgirls. Those I admire even more are those who
encourage and respect us for holding our own.
Bgirl - Earthtones
Personally, I sometimes feel like there is such a huge disparity between a bboy and a bgirl. I would ask myself what the heck I’m doing going up against dancing machines with physique I can never match. I had moments when I would give up practice and be on the side lines watching them.
Then one afternoon when I was doing just that – admiring how amazing the bboys danced and telling a friend sitting next to me how intimidating it all actually is for me, he said “It's hard to see yourself from outside but take it from me – from all of us [bboys] – you bgirls have our respect because all we see is confidence.” He passed me that song by the Earthtones and told me that’s how he sees bgirls. They aren’t weak nor deserve easy props... they are admirable :)
So bgirls, keep doing what you do!
Peaces x :)
