dancing**YES, BIG GUYS CAN MOVE!!

I typed in "what is dancing?" in google, and the second response I found very intriguing. An excerpt:

*
Dancing is the music played with the body.
*
Dancing is done for pleasure of the dancer.

Visual effects of dancing is secondary.


These quotes are extremely important to remember for this blog! So many big men have struggled to get on the dance floor because of fear of exposure, or shyness, or lack of confidence. Remember, what is most important is that the dance be done for the simple, euphoric joy of movement.
I found a dancer named KOrrupt online while looking for krump videos. Krump is a form of hip hop dance that seems herky/jerky, but is a purely emotional dance that still retains it's rhythm. While it is not easy to do, it is a great combination of personal expression. Mastering like, four or five moves associated with krump can give bigger men the chance to express themselves while actually doing moves and participating in what's happening on the dance floor.

Also, let's check out his wardrobe. He's wearing a slightly over-sized hip hop tee with a bold, personalized statement on it. Normally, I'd say steer clear of being so obvious with the personalized t-shirts (they can quickly become cliche; besides, subtly can go a long way!), but KOrrupt's overall style is so interesting here. He's wearing a stylized baseball cap that's not just the logo of some sports team; I can't make out the emblem, but it's quirky enough to give him a dash of flavor. The shoes are skate shoes or perhaps Nike Dunks and add a certain cleanliness to his rugged, sporty style. The jeans are absolutely beautiful-- a nice, dark wash with a fit that curves at his hips. They aren't boxy or too baggy. I can not express this enough: dark wash on the jeans should be a high, high priority! They add a sense of sophistication to a sportier, lets-go-dancing look that light or drab colored jeans do not. Thankfully, hip hop clothing is becoming more fitted, but they're still making big sizes because the young kids still like to wear their clothes two sizes bigger.
So, take bits and pieces of KOrrupt's dance moves and his fashion sense and add it to your own. There's no need to go full on hip hop, but take bits and pieces (particularly the quirky, fitted cap and the dark wash jeans) and add it to your arsenal. They are timeless pieces that are relatively versatile and essential.

Here are some links to help you find this look:

shirt (what i did was, i looked for a design that had lettering on it that was a bit more cryptic, not as HUGE AND GIGANATIC! that way the subtly is there but you're still able to make a statement. Also, note that there's an over-sized emblem that works when paired with the font! be creative!):

shoes (I wanted to give you guys a more grown-up look than KOrrupt's here, but still keep the playfulness. Notice also the splash of color-- and yes, for this look, just a splash, but with shoes, feel free to go a bit more funky if you desire):
