About Me:

Been doing this House Music (CHURCH) thing since 1985 & I'm still a hardcore fan! Presently, I feel the vibration needs to go back, back into time... meaning we need to get back to the essence - PEACE, UNITY, LOVE & FREEDOM!

Being technically trained as a youth, I enjoy the non-conformity of my freestyle movements when overwhelmed by the preacher (DJ) & his weekly sermon (soulful/deep/spiritual House music). Dancing is my first love!

In this economy, however, I need to get loose on a regular basis & the party scene now is just 'a costly place to be'. Too expensive, too short & too tight! For a vet like me, I need more motivation besides the promoters & non-dancers hearsay. U feel me? So dancers: DO WHAT IT DO & BRING BACK THE VIBES!!!!
