Djembe Lesson for Beginners: How to play a slap sound – African Drumming Online

https://www.youtube.com/embed/RURwlOO1ZVw


The following little bit of strategy we're mosting likely to take a look at is the put. So, the put, a great deal of individuals concentrate on the slap and also a great deal of individuals who are brand-new to drumming have problem with the put. Personally, I think the tone is in fact more important, I'll describe why in a min, yet I'll show you how to obtain a put initially. So, there are great deals of different methods to obtain slaps, here's simply one way to obtain you in the ballpark. So, rather than the tone, where I suggested you have this bit right here on the side of the drum, for the slap, when you're first starting, attempt simply relocating so this paddy little bit right here gets on the edge of the drum. So when you're hitting the drum, instead of there for a tone, for a slap it has to do with there. Once more, when you get really good method, you want as little activity as feasible. In the meantime, this is just to help you get the different sounds.So a couple


of ways to think of it: up below coincides as the tone, so you're beginning with up right here, your fingers are together, relaxed yet not saggy and not tight, so kinda with each other, and your wrist is back. And also, what's occurring is you're coming down such as this, striking this bit on the side, so this little bit of your hand's hitting the edge, as well as when that hits the edge, there must be a little more of an angle to your fingers so that when this hits the edge there's space in between your fingers as well as the drum head. So I'll reveal you a number of workouts to help build that up. Initial point, just practise doing that-- no audio. And I understand it's hard to do no sound, you intend to do sound-- no sound. So no sound, beginning with up right here, and making sure that when you struck the drum, when this little bit your hand makes call with the side For a tone, my wrist is up below. If you make a little sound, that's Okay. Like that ... And also that's the slap, that's it. We'll see. Attempt and also monitor what I utilize-- see if I correspond. So, puts, pa ta.So, tone, slap ... You hear the distinction there? So the point


pexels-photo-6957257.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&h=650&w=940


I wanted to make earlier regarding why I believe tones are, in a way, more vital than slaps , is that puts can seem a great deal of different methods-- all you have to get is that high pitched ringing noise. like that ... as well as you can sometimes get that, if you're tones aren't clean what will certainly happen is you'll often obtain a little bit of that high pitched sound slipping right into your tones. If your tones ... are type of similar to this, like if your fingers are a bit also apart or floppy or something ... you can obtain that kind of noise ... Rather than this ... you get this ... So if you're finding your tones seem like that, the problem is it doesn't leave sufficient distinction in between your tone and also your slap. I would recommend, very first thing, when you're. When you're working on slaps, start with. As well as then, slowly do it a little bit harder,. like when you do a put, and afterwards you'll begin, kind of, having even more control over it. -- it's a kinaesthetic thing, your hands will learn it. So, when you've obtained that, then deal with your. tones as well as make sure your tones are really tidy. And also careful when you're dealing with your. tones, make certain you don't wind up simply locking your wrist-- the tendency is to kinda get. an excellent angle for your tones, and also then you lock your wrist due to the fact that you do not intend to. danger endangering that angle, however what that does, is it means you can not play as quickly. or as strongly, since you're not obtaining any one of that movement of your wrist.So, what you wish to do is, you recognize, if you. wind up doing it that's fine, but beware that you don't wind up playing like this ... for the purpose of obtaining clean tones. You intend to constantly ensure your audio's. coming back here, and also you're obtaining your wrist involved. You'll thank me for it later. Tones ... and slaps ... They ought to all, your hand ought to be back. The tendency in some cases is to get in the setting. Everyone desires to play faster.So that's puts. Like that ... As well as that's the slap, that's it. Puts, ta.So, tone, slap ... You hear listen to difference distinction? When you're functioning on puts, begin with. Tones ... and slaps ... They must all, your hand needs to be back. Everybody desires to play faster.So that's puts.

The Elephant's Warning System | Africa's Deadliest

Botswana is home to the largest elephant population in Africa. But here, the lions have turned into elephant killers. This huge lone elephant is under siege. She charges at the lions and trumpets loudly to scare them off. But she also sends out a secret, silent warning of danger to others. Stomping her feet and giving out a low frequency rumble, so low it can not be heard by humans. Together, these sound waves vibrate through the ground up to six miles in all directions. An elephants unusual superpower is that they hear this inaudible warning through their feet. Delicate nerve endings pick up reverberations through the earth, decoding the messages. The message is clear, lions are on the attack. This herd of females with their offspring go on the defense. They hustle the young and vulnerable to the middle of the herd and form a protective wall around them. Any lion will try and separate the mother from their babies for an easy kill. Defiant, they remain still, listening with their feet and trunks for the all clear. The elephants unique early warning system has worked. Danger has been averted..

The Best of Tosh.0’s Is It Racist?

Not to be racist or anything, but Asian people ... We found completely random people and asked them to interpret what she might have been trying to say. Suck? Is that really what she was going to ... But I don't think so. Maybe she said, "Should stop squinting so much," you know. "Asian people are certainly a good race"? That's a very positive spin. Maybe. Salty. That was ... I think that would be kind of racist. What? Salty, like- salty? Soy sauce, you know what I mean? Oh, god, that's on you. That's on you.


I can't do the Chewbacca thing, but that sounded like Chewbacca, not an Asian thing. Asians don't do Chewbacca. Yeah. We're not even hairy. "Asian people stop"? Stop. Stop. Stop what? You know what you do. "So nice." Dude, that's racist. Just by your accent that you put. So nice. So nice. That's racist. You can't do it that way. Asians so nice. Nope. Lucky for us, we don't have to guess, because I hired a team of stereotypical Asian hackers to track her down. Please welcome 15 year old Rachel. Thank you for having me, Daniel. What were you trying to say in that video? I was trying to say that Asian people ... It's about the prettiest time of year, though. It is. I mean, those trees just look so nice and I love getting all those nice colors out there. Speaking of the colors, we have Tyler Wier. Thanks, guys. Uh-oh. That was an honest mistake. Who here hasn't accidentally called one of their coworkers "colored"? In this hypersensitive day and age, it's hard to know who will be offended by what.


So, I came up with a list of brand new terms that have absolutely no racial connotation whatsoever. And to make sure they're safe, I field-tested them with an extremely diverse focus group. It's time for, "Is It Racist?" "Is It Racist?" Thank you, guys, for coming. I would like you just to raise your hand whenever you feel the term I use is offensive. "Cream jockey." Okay. "Water flaps." "Here comes a pack of water flaps. Lock up your dogs." Uh-oh. Now that doesn't sound good.


pexels-photo-864939.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&h=650&w=940

Too- No, that doesn't sound good. Okay, okay. "Sugar-taster." That's a little offensive. What do you think sugar-taster means? I don't know. I don't know why you think that he tastes sugar. Why do you keep pointing to the black person? That's what I want to know. They- "They"? "Saddle-shins." Saddle-shin? What that mean? "Bunch of stinking saddle-shins." Use in sentence. I just did. That was sentence? Yes. "Clink-clunk." Clink-clunk? Clink-clunk. Hey, we did the railroad and we did all that work, and then you come back to use terms? Okay. It's not directed toward anyone. It's just the word "clink-clunk." Well, I don't like it. It sounds kind of offensive. Okay, okay. This is all good research, guys. Thank you. "Biscuit neck." "God help us if we ever have a biscuit neck in the White House." Why does biscuit neck offend you? I don't know. You shouldn't say that.


You shouldn't say "biscuit neck"? You guys are- I thought it was something against whites. You thought biscuit neck was negative towards whites? Yeah. I appreciate it. "Spoon face." I don't like that. Why? Because. Lots of Asians got round face and they might think you're talking about them. Right. When I think of a spoon, I think concave. You think that's an Asian slam, huh? "Spoon face!" Yeah, because- Spoon face! "Apple picker." Why are you offended by apple picker? Because no one call me an apple picker. What if you were to pick an apple? I'm still not an apple picker. Let me find one that you are ... Which one can I call you? "Hinto"? No. "Water flaps." No. "Gin bird." Nope. "Bucket ducker." No. "Dirty legs." Nah. What about "door donkey"? Hell no. You fine with "10 eyes"? To a degree. "10 eyes" it is. Well, thank you all for your time. You can collect your $10 on your way out. $10? Yeah, you spoon-faced apple picker. Oh.


Because the whole cast is in blackface. Got it. This is our toughest, "Is It Racist?" yet. Are people of color allowed to just change color? I'm just glad it's not white people in blackface for once. Mario Lopez is in this? Oh, shame on you and the people at Extra! Wearing Asian face is bad enough, but then to add blackface on top of it, that's downright inexcusable. So, yes, it's racist. AC Slater is canceled. And that's how you play, "Is It Racist?" "Is It Racist?" Goodnight!

Why so many African Elephants Don't Survive their First Year

Across Africa, from Namibia to Uganda, elephant babies are trying to keep their heads above water, trying to suckle, to keep up with the herd, to make it to adulthood. But one third of baby elephants will die in this first year of life. And sometimes the threat to a baby's survival comes from within the herd. It's been a good year. The elephant herds of Uganda are increasing. In the 1980s, they were poached to the brink of extinction in the country. Now there are more than 5000 individuals. The land is green. There's plenty to eat. Newborns are almost lost in the grass. It takes a whole herd to raise a baby elephant. Female elephants help look after each other's calves. It's called alloparenting. In the process, young females learn how to care for their siblings and calves are given a better chance of survival. The babies are born after almost two years of gestation.


This long development time gives them another survival advantage. They can stand and walk immediately after birth so they can reach their mother's milk. They will rely on it for the first year. Each day, the baby elephant gains almost 1kg, or two pounds of body weight. Scientists have discovered that the composition of elephant milk differs from that of all other mammals, as well as being different for Asian and African elephants. It actually changes as the baby grows. The protein, mineral and fat content increases during lactation, providing more energy as the baby develops. But despite the best care a herd can offer, about one third of baby elephants will die in this first year of life. They will never reach adulthood. There are many threats. Water, the thing elephants need the most can also kill them. Adults need to drink up to 189 liters, or 50 gallons a day. Despite the raging torrent, the family has to cross, but babies can't swim until they're several months old.


Adults have evolved ways to push their young along. They used their trunks like arms to usher them to safety. In Namibia, water isn't always plentiful, but elephants can smell it from up to around 19 kilometers or 12 miles away. This herd is making a beeline for a man-made watering spot in Etosha National Park. A new study has found that in warm weather, elephants can lose up to 10% of all the water in their bodies. That equates to about two full bathtubs a day, the highest level of daily water loss ever recorded in a land mammal. It's a relief to drink, but still, the herd must stay alert. Baby elephants are intelligent little beings, but they aren't born with the instinct to use their most important appendage - their trunk. They can't use it to grasp food or to suck up water. This can make drinking awkward and precarious. A youngster falls into the trough. He calls to alert the adults. The herd reacts in unison. The water isn't deep, but the panicked baby could easily drown. The trough is narrow and hard to access.


The females can only watch on while the youngster remains stuck. Many trunks, but no rescue, until a mature female finally lifts him to safety. Even at natural waterholes, like this one in Namibia, where there's plenty of room to move, female elephants must stay calm when dealing with emergencies so as not to panic others in the herd, especially their calves. Mud baths should be enjoyable, not traumatic. This matriarch gives a youngster a helping trunk, a lesson for baby and another young member of the herd. But Elephant Society isn't always so cooperative. Researchers at Mushara Waterhole in Namibia have witnessed a darker side of the elephants' nature where danger doesn't lie outside the herd, but within it. This baby and his mother are chased away from the water by the matriarch. The calf just wants some fun, but he sent back to his mother by the other females. Despite living with the herd for the last 5 years, the mother is left to care for her baby alone. Most of the herd begins to move on, turning their backs on the mother and her calf. Two females even throw irritating dust at the parent.


pexels-photo-3850526.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&h=650&w=940


The baby has become weak. The stress of rejection may have left the mother unable to produce enough milk. The calf needs to drink around 2 litres of milk every 2 hours. He's getting weaker by the second and is now unable to stand up to feed. If he doesn't drink soon, he will die of dehydration. Why is this baby destined to die while others are saved? Researchers think this cruel behavior is evidence of a pecking order within the herd. Each elephant has their place in the hierarchy and that status is passed down through generations. This isn't in keeping with our perception of elephant behavior, Herds can break up in places where poaching occurs, but not usually in places like this, where the herd is protected and there's enough food and water.


Here in the Namibian desert, resources are scarce. No baby gets left behind. Each one of them is precious. Elephant herds are complex societies. We can only observe and try to understand the dynamics at work within them. In understanding their behaviour at much deeper levels, we may also be able to help them survive. Thanks for watching.

'Cause your car broke down. Please, master. Yeah, that's better. What's that? Some note one of your little groupies left me. What? Was it Sonya? I know it's Carly 'cause Carly's been looking at me. I saw her. Give me that. Let me read it. "Tristian. I think you are so sexy. I've been wanting to take you out on a date.


My treat. I promise you won't regret it." Ha-ha. Seriously? How much lower can your standards be? What? At least she doesn't tease a brother. She gets straight to the point. What's that supposed to mean. You know what it is. Anyways. Thanks for the ride. Hey, why don't you go for good girls? Like, classy girls? The girls I go with are classy. Thank you. Oh come on. You don't really believe that. I don't know. Look, I mean... How am I supposed to know who's classy and who's not, with everyone running around being deceitful and playing games? Ah, that's the easy part. The Selena Test.


Ah, the Selena Test. Ha-ha. So what? Well, the Selena test is when you wanna find out if someone is looking for one thing. Especially on the first date. Things are getting a little you know, hot and heavy. Put on the brakes, and let 'em know you wanna get to know them first. Just be with them. Cuddle with them. Kiss them. That's it. That's it? Everything is in the reaction. All right. Are they tense? Do they wanna be there? Are they checking the clock every two seconds? Are they bored? Are they impossible to talk to? Are they engaged? See, you can get sex and have sex and all that is cool and all. Finding that chemistry. That spark. That burn. You just got to see if they pass the test. "The Selena Test." Girl you tripping. Boy, you got some nerve. Mom, what's wrong with you? What is that doing in my bedroom? Well if your having sex in my bedroom, I swear Tristian, You gonna have to leave.


Mom, I promise. I'm not having sex in your room. I swear. Look, She probably just went in there to change, that's all. Let this be the last time that this happens. Or else. Yeah I know, Mom. I'm sorry. How's Selena? Now that's the kind of girl you need to be dating. She's beautiful. Educated. Focused. Exactly what you need. Mom, we're just friends. Yeah, for too damn long. Your my son. I know you. Better than you think I do. Where's Dad? He's in the room. Working. As always. Yeah, I'm finishing this Months-end closing now. You don't seem too excited. I think you know me better than I think you do. Tristian, you know you don't have to... Put up with all this stuff and do what your dad wants? -Mom, It's okay. -Hush. Let me tell you something. As far as your father's concerned, I didn't say nothing. You do what makes you happy. Your passion. Not your dad's. Just to make him proud. And if you don't know what that is... then find it. But don't stay stuck living up someone else's dream and never finding your own.


You always know what to say, Mom. Do you have some special mom book or something? Yeah, I wish parenting came with an instruction book. But no, Son. No secret book. Just a mother's instincts. Love you, Mom. Love you too. <i></i> Get out. Get the hell out of my house. What is wrong with you? Get off of me. Do not touch me. I'm done. Calm down, baby. Please calm down. <i>Do not tell me</i> <i>to calm down.</i> <i>Could you keep</i> <i>your voice down?</i> Yo, what up. Hey. Yo! My mom found your shirt in the laundry again. Oh my God. My bad. She still doesn't know. Does she? Why do you care if people know? Cause it's my business and my family's and... Cause I don't want the whole world knowing how dysfunctional the Carrions are. I guess. I don't want her think that we're "doing it" in here or something. Are you kidding me? My mom would throw a party if she thought that...


Me and you... You good? Where ere you headed off to? Just school. They're holding auditions for the Blake Andrews contest. Huh. Alright. Why don't you have Tristian go out with you in case you stay out late. I am not entertaining this conversation. Besides, I have a hot date tonight. Oh. Excuse me. -See you later, Mom. -Bye baby. How's the Johnson account coming? It's good, I guess. They are losing money, though. It's second story big bill. I told them it wasn't a good idea. Gonna have to setup a meeting with him. So... have you finished the essays and send out the applications? -Yeah, Dad. -Well great. We should be hearing something soon then. You know. I um... Spoke to Dean. Told him to look out for yours. So secretary should be calling you and setting up with you soon. Sounds good. I gotta get to work, Dad. You are at work, son. My other work. I will be home for dinner.


Okay. We'll talk about spreadsheets later. That was so right there. We need you. You are amazing. -Are you available next Saturday? -Yeah. Of course. Awesome, we'll probably have about three rehearsals before the show on Saturday. I am in. I give you a call next week with all the details. -Perfect, thanks. -Thank you. Thank you. Oh my God. This is gonna be so hot. I know. We finally have a great guy and I really really wanna showcase him.


-Lemme show you what I have been working on. -Okay. Yes. Yes. Great. So, that's your little amateur routine for the competition? It's amateur night at the Carrions. That was pathetic. What do you want Ivy? Ah. Just coming by to say good luck. We don't need any luck. Actually you do. Because the only team that's going home with that money prize and going on tour with Blake, is my team. You won't even make it past the first round. You won't make it to the first round if you keep talking to her like that. Eh. Enough. It's time to go now. <i></i> What do I talk about? I don't know. Just be yourself. Why am I doing this again? To make Tristian jealous. You are right. Oh. Look at you. You look beautiful. Thanks, Mom. Mya picked it out. So, how were the auditions yesterday? Good. I mean we found a great guy. The rest weren't so good. Don't worry about it, you will find all the dancers you need.


So, who is the lucky guy tonight? -Tristian? -No, Mom. She is going on a blind date tonight. Oh. Blind date? Well that's playing with fire. Good to see you smile again. Yeah. You know? I have to realize sometime in life that you have to make yourself happy before you can be happy with someone else. I am getting there trust me, I am getting there. And I want you to remember, no matter what your dad does, there is a lot of great men out there. I mean not all men are dogs. God gets someone for everyone.

Really? Are you really that desperate? It's just some stupid blind date Mya set me up with. Never again. Look who's talking. I see Brenda's car in the driveway. How was the <i>Bow chica wow wow?</i> Actually I didn't. -Yeah right. -No she wanted to, but I said no. I am serious. Did she pass the test? I don't know what you talking about. It's on your face. She didn't. -You okay? -Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just um... Just got a lot on my mind. That's all. What's up? Talk to me. I have been writing all these, essays and filling all these applications for my MBA program. Let me guess, you don't wanna get your MBA. Is it that obvious? Yeah. Only for past 11 years now. You know me that well too. If it's not you, then don't do it. What do you wanna do? I will say I don't know. I mean look, there, there are things that I do like.


But I have never pursued them. I mean like you. You love to dance. I have never felt so passionate about anything. How did you know that's what you wanted to do? I just did. There's nothing that makes me happier. When life's got me down, it's my therapy. It clears my mind, renews my body. renews my soul. I just wish I knew where to go from here you know. Come on. Think of one thing you always wanted to do. I can't say. Just say it. Let's just... Let's stop. What are you so embarrassed about? I gotta get back to... Ice Princess upstairs. So... You know, people who don't chase their dreams, never get to live them. I will be back right now. Damn, girl you scared me. What are you doing? I was just about to ask you the same thing. Aren't you doing what I usually do? Same to you. Well I just need a little bit of therapy. Whoa. What you doing? If you need therapy then you must need a therapist now, don't you? Oh no, not that.


I was just playing, never mind. Oh is that what you doing here, just playing around? No. I'm not playing. Good. So lets do it. If you really wanna learn dance? I mean learn it? Love it, live it, breath it. And it will set you free. Do you wanna be set free? More than anything. Alright. I do this, you gotta listen to me. Hey you got it. Can we keep this on the D L. I don't want anyone else to know about this. Especially my dad. Your secret is safe with me. -But there is one thing you didn't do, -What's that? You need to say please. Please, will you teach me how to dance? Please master. Okay. Please master. That was it. Alright. Come over here, follow me. So, you're gonna go. One two three. <i> You know, on a first day there is a test.


To see you whether a woman is classy... and worth pursuing the relationship or not. Lucky for me. Our date lasted 11 minutes. This is our second. Alright guys. Let's try one more time alright. Five six seven eight. One two three four, five six seven eight. Awesome. Alright. Just take the next 10 minutes to do it on your own just ask me if you need help. Tristian needs help. Do you mind if I show him the new part? No go ahead. Tris do you mind? No not at all. You. You're in trouble, mister. Why? What did I do? Come here. You were having a little too much fun rehearsing okay. You asked me to work with her. Asked if you mind. Yeah, you asked me right in front of her. Was I supposed to say no? Alright, fine. My bad. What? You are jealous. Go ahead and say it. Come on, I think it's kinda cute. Fine, I was jealous. There you happy? Yeah I am.


Because the master is jealous. -You are a punk. -Eh, you no what happened last time you called me that right. Hm I will never forget, I got the scar. Look. You know there is no other girl I'd rather be dancing with, right? Aren't you two the cutest little couple? You lied again. I knew it. I am sorry. Please Courtney. I love you. This is where I draw the line. I am done with this. And you know... you destroyed our family, Roberto. You. Not me. And I want you out of this house. Now. Selena, go back to your room I am okay. No, Mom. I am sick of it. I've been running from this reality for twelve years now. What did you do now, Dad? Nothing honey. Go to your room. Everything's fine. Tell her. Tell her. You know what your father did? He didn't pay the mortgage on the studio.


That's my life. And there's more to it Isn't there Roberto? He didn't pay the mortgage on the studio, because he got her pregnant. -Get out. -Please. I will make it up to you guys. Get out. Son, I was going through the mail the other day. And I noticed an envelop marked... Final Notice. You didn't even bother to respond to Stanford for your admittance interview. You aced your GMATs You have a 4.0 average. You're a shoe in. All you had to do was show up, and you were in. I don't understand you, Tristian. This is your love. No, Dad. This is what you love. You have no idea what my dreams are. I don't wanna do it. You don't wanna do what? Tristian. I don't wanna work for you any more. What? I hate it. I have always hated it.


But you never let me do anything else. It was always what you wanted. Well what do you wanna do Tristian? Huh? What? I don't know. I am still trying to find myself. And what I am good at. You are good at this. You are an accountant. No, Dad. You're an accountant. Not me. So what do you wanna do Tristian? Huh? What? I don't know. I am trying different things right now. Like what? Like. Dance. You know what? I can't even continue this conversation. You are a disgrace to this family. And you're gonna throw away your life and your future. No. That's just it. I am making sure that I don't. Hey. Selena. Selena. What do you want? I just had a rough night. I need a little bit of therapy. Well, the doctor is not in right now. Should be overdosing on some home Clonopin right about now. Listen, do you have a moment? What can I do for you Tristian? What's wrong with you? No, talking about you right now.


So, what can I do for you? As your loving, supportive and devoted girlfriend... What can I do for you? Look I just... I just wanna get the finale down for the video. We got a lot of work to do before Saturday. I am ready. Get out there. Let's do it. Five six seven eight. Come on, baby, you gotta keep up. What am I doing Selena? What do you mean? I can't do it. I can't even think straight right now. My mind is all over the place.


You know what? I gotta go with Cameron this weekend. What? What you talking about? You are good. You put in a valiant a mount of effort. But, I gotta go with my best option and you are not it. Whoa. I was cold. You don't need to know the definition of cold so don't come at me with your bullshit. Yo, what's the problem tonight? I came here to clear my mind after my dad was giving me shit. And now I'm getting it from the only person who supposed to supporting and understands me. This was all a mistake. What was? You me and trying to teach you to dance, it's all bullshit. No way, you. You don't know when to stop twisting the knife do you? Just like every guy out there. A punk. Just like my dad. Sleep with another women. Get her pregnant , have a second family. On top of that, flush the entire family business down the drain , and stop paying mortgage on the studio. Selena I had no idea. No. You didn't. You were dealing with your own shit. Sorry I can't be the pillar you need to complete you right now.


But I got my own shit to deal with. I am not your dad. No. Not yet but it will happen. Its inevitable. You know what Selena, for a person who talks a big game, tries to walk a big game, you sure are stumbling right now. You better watch out Selena. Before you become more than just a drama queen. There you go, just keep walking. Another Selena test. After what I saw, those true colors buried deep down inside there with out a question. I know you weren't being real with me this whole time because when you love something so much, when you have a goal you must attain it. You stick to it. You never lose focus. You stare it down. You got that right. I know. I know I just can't Hey if you wanna dance with him, it's okay. I will understand. It is not that easy. You guys look good together. Thank you. You alright? I don't know mom.


I messed up big time. I don't know how to fix it. What did you do to that boy? I pushed him away. Sure he hates me right now. Why did you do that? I just lost it on him. Everything happened when dad... I just gave up on everything and, never wanna see you hurt again like that. I don't wanna hurt like dad. And you won't. Yeah but, you were that for so long how do you forgive? How do you go on? You just do. That's life. Sometimes you get a good card. Sometimes you get a bad one. And you do with each of them accordingly. I know what you said thirteen years ago. All men are punks. Oh Lord. Why is it that with everything I said to you over the years it's the one thing you carry along with you still? I don't know. Just stuck I guess. You know you can't control people. But you can control how you will react to what people do to you. You have to give people a chance.


I am not saying that you protect yourself. But, if there is no indication that you got a bad card, you don't just fold in and worry about it. Everyone has a choice. And I choose to be happy. And so should you. Yeah. We are gonna lose our studio now, our home. Ah. I will get this studio. And home, That's within you, and with people you love. It is not in a building. I hate you Mom. For doing competition now we are gonna pay off this studio. You won't need it. That's my girl. It's all in your hands now. You okay? I don't know. I am. I just I feel so bad he didn't deserve that. Do you love him? I do. Okay. So what's the problem? I don't know. I just need more time I guess. Girl, that boy loves you. He will do anything for you.


Hey, he is not dad. It's just so hard you know. Always blamed him for dad's mistakes. He didn't do anything wrong. Exactly. So, what you gonna do about it? Just wait for a sign I guess. Hello. Yes. Kimberly. Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Bye. Top five? Top five. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. You did it. Why you sitting in the dark? Just spending my last night here.


Last what? Why you cared? Me top five. Good for you. Should be bursting with joy. All I could think about is sharing that joy with you. Don't worry about it. You made the right decision. You are with the better dancers so. Whatever. You know its not true right. Oh, it isn't? No, he's just been doing it longer You have so much more raw talent than him. If you have stuck to it you would have been an amazing dancer. May be. I have been mopping these floors for eleven years. You know why I do that? I don't know. Because I was staring at my dream. I have always been staring at my dream.


Maybe because I was behind a veil and no one could quite make out what I was looking at. But I always knew it. Then just stick to it. This doesn't have to be your last night. Yeah it is. See some people get to live out their dreams. Some people have to wake up. I got to live it for a moment. Which is, more than what I can say for most. But you woke me up the other day. I'm going to Stanford for my interview, this Saturday. I will be attending business school fall, so... I wanna thank you for waking me up. And so does my father. The competition is this Saturday. Blake Andrews will be there himself. Yeah well, I won't. And what about us? Us? Yeah, well, don't worry about that.


You woke me up for that dream too. You know Selena, one day you are actually gonna really have to trust somebody. In order to get your back. The day you do that, is the day I never take my eyes off my dreams. <i> Hey babe. Got a minute? Sure. Just going over routines and last minute costumes in my head. I just want you to know, how proud I am of you. Oh, Mom. Thanks. No, seriously. You have no idea how much joy it brings a mother's heart to watch her little girls grow up and be strong and beautiful women.


You are stronger than me. An oak. You fight and you are standing. I just let the world run over me. Mom. No. Hear me out. Life is gonna offer you a lot of great and wonderful things. And some trials and tribulations. I want you to know, no matter what happens tonight, the same belief that you have. The same standing and the same strength is worth more than anything. Certainly more than a dance studio. You are a beautiful woman. I love you. And I am so proud of you. Would be nice to still win, though, wouldn't it? Oh hell yes. You go out there and kick some ass. Okay babe. Thanks, Mom. It's gonna be a good day. Wake up. It's gonna be a good day, son. I am so proud of you.


Oh yeah, Dad. Why is that? You didn't give up. You know, sacrificing today to make things better for tomorrow, is not a easy choice and you did it. Finally. Listen dancing, everybody has hobbies in life. You don't make your hobbies your life. That's crazy. You will come to many crossroads in life, and you can only choose one path. And I am just so glad you chose the right path. A Stanford Business, is an opportunity that very few get to have. And you, my son, Tristian Desmond Hamilton, you have that opportunity. And you are going to seize it. It is gonna be a great-great day. <i></i> <i>Your test scores are</i> <i>in the top one percentile.</i> Your GPA is flawless. You've interned at some of the top accounting firms in the country and you helped run your father's boutique firm as well. You got the credentials. You have the grades. You got the recommendations and your father's an Olympus. Really you're...


The kind of person that we look for when we're looking for candidates to represent us in the future. I spoke with your father by phone earlier in the week. He confided in me that attending the MBA program at Stanford has been one of your dreams for many years. I just think that that's outstanding. You know... it's a rare thing to see someone pursue their dreams, and attain them with the strength and vigor that you have Mr. Hamilton, and I admire you for that. <i></i> Selena, Hello. How are you? This is the Blake Andrews. Mt Andrews. What an honor. We are so exited for the opportunity today. Please, call me Blake. -Of course. -Ah Blake. My team is so honored to perform for you. We know that our routine is dynamic and hot. Just the way you like it. Okay. Well I can't wait to see it. Ha-ha. Of course this will be the other school. Oh, don't be scared.


Ha-ha. Trust me honey. I'm not scared. This is my school. Remember that. Okay ladies, are you ready to show Blake what you got? Oh absolutely. Ha-ha. Alright. I saw you two ladies on Youtube and I gotta say, Kimberly can't stop talking about you two. So... I can't wait to see what you got. Of course.


Let's get it. You don't have a chance. <i> <i></i> <i></i> <i></i> <i></i> It's gonna be weird isn't it? What? Working for someone else? I suppose.


We still get to do what we love. We still get to teach dance. Yeah, except with someone else's name on the floor, and someone else's name on the tracks. What's in a name. Ha-ha. I thought you said it was ready? What are you talking about? It is ready. Look, especially when we get these mirrors right here. Get your office going. Get you a bar. I got you. Still think you can handle me, Mr. Hamilton? I think you know I can, Mrs. Hamilton. <i></i> .
