Joey L. Dowdy's World Dance Groove "Contemporary Dance" Domestic Violence Part 1

Joey L. Dowdy's World Dance Groove double feature video presentation entitled, Contemporary Dance Domestic Violence -No Tolerance "Awakens Your Awareness."
His first video, "Movement is Medicine That Heals" conveys an array of movement. It's more like a dramatic potpourri, a mixture of contemporary dance combined with elements of fierce emotion, break through messages, and textual visualization all wrapped up together..

Joey says, "It's my most personal work yet because I too was a victim of domestic violence, I was molested as a child, and I grew up watching my mother struggle with being a battered wife.

So putting together these videos have actually been a form of Movement Therapy and a creative, expressive, outlet for me as well. It has helped me to resurface feelings and emotions that I kept silent for so many years, and far too long.

You see, these videos are important because they're dance/movement based adaptations of situations that dig deep inside to reveal the physical and emotional (the good, bad & ugly) side that words sometime can't express.

I feel so blessed that I am able dedicate this work, and use my life experiences and choreographic skills, in helping to "Break The Silence" by speaking out which is what makes the difference."

I recently read an article about Oprah Winfrey & Tyler Perry's abusive past; I can't believe there is so buzz around about this situational topic right now. Thank You. I'm so glad, It's about time someONE "Stand Up." A dance message told brilliantly.

This too is an eye catching awakening experience. I love all the "How To's." It's more than a 5 Star Spectacular video.

Thank you Joey. I work with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. There is NO excuse for abuse. Ladies love yourself enough to get help. There are Battered Women's Shelters all over America. They can give you a safe place to stay while you get your life together.

I totally agree. Anyone who has not seen this incredible piece of art imitating life, please go to the worlddancegroove site and ask for a copy. You will be shocked at how quickly life can unravel and become violent. After the shock is when you simmer and see what prevention could have occured or how you can help someone. please see this video its powerful. Emmy

You Joey are my angel, my friend and I know this encouragement you speak of selfestiem all of this important messages helps us who cannot always see through the smoke screen and make the right choices before its too late. I love you. Emmy ariel

It left me speechless. It was incredibly powerful and compelling. It was a very strong message demonstrated by the artistry of dance ...

The message is strong, the movement is art, the video brings you in and makes you think. "Mesmerizing" is a fantastic word for this video. Wow. I'm moved.
