About Me

..hmmm let's see.................i am definitely a bit wacky, a bit crazy, sometimes spontaneous and i try to put a little bit of love into everything i do.... i'm an idealist with a good dose of realism and want to make positive change in my communities and in this world. not an easy task but i'm doing what i can... i am a dancer, a DJ, a dreamer, love to travel, love my family, and love my friends. dance is my passion and release and i can't live without it. i grew up doing modern dance which i will always love, but have also done jazz, hip hop, african, house and more recently b-girling, capoeira and salsa. i am also addicted to the turntables and the beats, i spin mostly house and breakbeats. when i'm not on the decks i'm probably out there on the dance floor, i love dancing all night with great music and great people. i'm a Norcal transplant living in LA...have grown to love this crazy la-la land and the people, places, desert, beach, music and underground scene.www.waxdj.com/jooj
