Hampton Williams ‘Exorcist Style’

There’s one thing you should know about me.  I’m not much of a dancer, but I love dance as though I’ve been doing it myself for eighteen years.  I love the art of it, and I’m not ashamed to say that a few exceptional dances have moved me to tears.

This audition is no different.  I remember the first time I saw this.  It was probably midnight, everybody was asleep, and I was downstairs watching So You Think You Can Dance, because I have a slight obsession.  I saw this guy, and I admit, I was a little freaked out about his description of his style.  But the second he started dancing, I felt his emotion.  His facials were beautiful, his dancing superb, and he couldn’t have picked a better song.  I never thought this style, the ‘robot’, for lack of a better word, would ever make me cry, but I couldn’t stop the tears from rolling down my face.  For a good five minutes after watching this, I just sat in silence, letting it sink in.  It’s absolutely heart wrenching, and yet inspiring at the same time.  I truly felt like he took a burden off my shoulders.  

Just sit, and absorb this dance.  Because it is a pure form of beauty.  

Beautifully said. I cried, as well. I shared with other friends and we all cried together. There was just something special that he tapped into. It was the music, his movements, his facial expressions — the combination of all of these. This still touches me, and I’ve seen it about a dozen times.
