💜Jewl of the Month: Amethyst
Our Sapphire's Jewlz Dance Crew is the heart of everything we do. This section is dedicated to celebrating the exceptional individuals who make our community so special!
I want to shine a spotlight on a fantastic member of our crew, Amethyst!
Amethyst brings consistent fire and "Rhythmic Heat" to the dance floor. Her passion is contagious, and she embodies the true spirit of Sapphire's Jewlz—style, grace, and a whole lot of soul. When she hits the wood, you know it's about to go down! Thank you, Amethyst, for being such a shining "Jewl"!
We asked Amethyst to share a few words about her experience, and here’s what she said:
Hi, my name is Amethyst. I love dancing. So much so that I am the one who will dance like no one is watching. ((In my other life I am a belly dancer named Beladi Babe.)) 😁 I started classes in 2021. Our beloved sister, Fontella, introduced me to Dr Sapphire's Tuesday night class. I enjoy learning new line dances. You know it is funny to me when I tell people, "You know there's a line dance to that." Dr. Sapphire challenges us to go beyond the "Cha Cha slides and the Tamia". I joke every time an old dance is played and say that we are too bougie for that song.
Dancing is expressive. You are allowed to get lost in the moments. No matter the song. Some of the benefits of line dancing are learning to move, building stamina, staying youthful and encouraging yourself to dance by yourself.
🎵This Month's Playlist: Rhythmic Heat Vol. 1
We are turning up the temperature with "Rhythmic Heat Vol. 1". This mix of Southern Soul classics and high-energy R&B captures the "Grown, Sexy, and Energetic" vibe we are bringing to the floor all month long..
