Carefree Black Girl Spotlight: Khaleya Graham (Dancer) / by *nickels*

"And the soul shall dance" as they say. This post... is about getting your life from dance. Phil Wright is a pretty solid choreographer. His vocabulary and musicality is interesting and textured. He creates routines that support the music and music that elevates his dance. He makes the kind of choreo that I love because it allows enigmatic dancers to put their own brand of stank on it without feeling clunky. Kendrick Lamar ain't too bad either. I think we can all agree that the song "Humble" is FIRE! 

But let me be clear, the only thing I really care about in the video below is Khaleya Grahamthe resident #CarefreeBlackGirl dancing in the first group,  and how triflin' she is by basically annihilating this choreography and putting all the other dancers to shame. I mean... why keep watching? (You can because people are artists and they worked their butts off dancing.)

But she kiltttttt it.

 I mean, I threw my shoe at my computer while watching it.  

I was yelling at the computer screen. Yes, yelling "yaaaasss!" The digital age is really fascinating.

Then I felt shame that I was literally getting my life while sitting at a laptop so I did a shimmy real quick so that God knew that I appreciated having a body. Then I hit replay. And screamed again. I've watched this video so many times I've lost count and I was having a particular kind of day where I needed to encourage myself and low and behold, Youtube and all of it's algorithmic stalker tendencies said "I gotchu boo" and dropped the video into my suggestions. (What, youtube doesn't talk like that to you?) Here's a clip that features just her bit.

Enjoy.
