Sometimes the internet and social media works in incredibly positive ways. Read it, REPOST IT, and enjoy the joyous dancing. Via @donthitpause ・・・ STOP LOOKING FOLKS - WE'VE FOUND JOSEPHINE! • Couple of months back I got followed by @khloaris. God knows how they found me, but find me they did. And I uncharacteristically followed them back. And that's when my obsession with Josephine started. See, @khloaris have a magical IG page replete with some of the most insane stuff to ever assault your eyeballs. Now, in amongst the insanity is a brief video from the television pilot episode of Graffiti Rock, a failed Hip Hop music video show that was to feature music videos, live performances from your favorite Rap idols of the 80's, and some Soul Train-esque studio dancers. In amongst said Soul Train-esque studio dancers is "our" Josephine! • An early pioneer of 80's feminist Latino street dancing, Josephine was a standout dancer in a studio full of fresh talent and fresh faces, all looking for that big break. And for 24 seconds, Josephine popped & locked her heart out whilst the camera rolled. For 24 seconds, it was Josephine's time. Which is 14 minutes 36 seconds short of what she truly deserves... • And so, this is my attempt to give Josie "Josephine" Olivo those additional 14 minutes 36 seconds she so totally deserves. Please support 80's feminist Latino street dancing heroes by reposting this (reposted here without any permission wotsoeva from @khloaris, but I know they won't mind), and by following Josie at @josieon2. She's sooooo gonna freak out if you do... hehehehe... • A massive, massive thank you from the bottom of my heart to the amazing @shareemuahhhh for actually finding Josie after seeing my #letsfindjosephine hashtag, and to @khloaris for the original post & somehow making a bizarre IG hashtag actually come to life. My mind is blown. Like, blown blown. I love Josephine. I love Khloaris. I love Sharee. And I love the internet! • • #letsfindjosephine #josephinefound #josephinerocks #josieolivo #graffitirock #80shiphop #hiphop #breakin #breakdance #rap #feminism #latinarolemodels #15minutesoffame #heydj #worldfamoussupremeteam #bboy #bgirl #fiveelement (at Dance Life) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGSRmSiFfCY/?igshid=wcxdgevqaz7w
