Numb-lyrical solo

Improv solo to Vitamin String Quartet's cover of Linkin Park's Numb. Used to enter WSU's dance program Fall 2010. Had to dance this with too small borrowed shoes, hence the loud landings(sorry). I now teach dance at The Community House in Birmingham, MI. lyrics:I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be

[ducklett1404]

what type of shoes do you have?

[carissanoelle]

@ducklett1404 They're called Adage the Turner, however I only had one and had to borrow a Capezio Pirouette from our lost and found...it was too small hahahaha

[HaileyNumber1]

lighter on your feet. and move more than just side to side. that gets pretty boring.

[carissanoelle]

@HaileyNumber1 Not to be rude, but do you see the shape of that room? It's incredible shallow. You can't coreograph forward and backward motions and still get caught on camera in a space like that, you'd only see my face if I did.

[xotaybaby213]

such loud landings...yikes :X

[carissanoelle]

@BonnieVintages The emotion is numb(the name of the song).

[michelle123my123bell]

the emotion doesn't really match the dance. you're obviously very talented though! and its really weird but you look very strangely like me. we could be related...

[BigCityWishes]

1:43 ! :)

[Momilli101]

technique is better than choreography

[ImHedgi]

Your very nicely controlled, in your turns and high legs mabe some movement on the floor would be nice, well done though! :)

[Ninjessica2]

@HaileyNumber1 it clearly states that it was all improv. i think she was worried about what it looked like, more that just letting her emotions run out through her dance... i felt that she did a wonderful job.

[TheMustacheo]

i love your turns!

[TheCrazy4Dance]

Just add a little emotion to your face and bring the emotion of the song into your dance, and this dance would be perfect.

[eatmyemorainbow]

beautiful job im a dancer my self and personally you did an outstanding job!! :D

[yollefly]

Just one question: don't you feel anything when you dance?

[SunniJay95]

I wish i cud dance like that!
