Who are you and how long have you been involoved in Dance?
I am Rosemary (Amos) Watson. I am 26 years old and I have been dancing for 24 years. I began dancing at Jeanne's School of Dance in Mesa, AZ with a combo class taught by Juile Sindois. I danced at Jeannes in the company & later Ballet Etudes company until my Sophomore year of high school, where I then was on Mesa High's Dance company, Euporea for 3 years. I've been teaching dance since I was 13 and have been exposed to almost al types of dance.
How is dance currently a part of your life?
I started this website to immerse myself in dance in a whole new way. This is a way to make dancing a part of my day to day life, and to connect with other dancers all over the world.
What are your favorite styles of dance?
Jazz has always been my favorite and strongest style of dance. I have had the most training in it, but I am starting to be more entranced by ballet and contemporary styles. Hip hop is so fun to do, and I love watching ballroom but I admit I need more training and experience in those styles.
What does dance mean to you? Why do you dance?
Dance has always been a part of my life as long as I can remember. I think a lot of people have taken dance in their lives, but only a few have let it become a part of them. Dance is a defining characteristic of me. When I dance, I feel as though I am doing exactly what I was made to do.
What else inspires you?
So many things, this whole big world. I see inspiration everywhere- in food, music, fashion, blogs, my kids. The littlest things ingrain themselves in my brain and ideas just explode out of me. It's amazing, this wonderful world we live in. You just need to take a minute and realize it.
How do you envision the future of dance?
I think that this website is a part of what dance can become. A place where all dancers from all walks of life can come together and share their passion. I hope that it gives people a reason and a chance to create art and that other people can be inspired by their work. This could be really really amazing and huge, and I hope everyone is as excited about it as I am.
