🎵 Forum Supporter Elephi here!
I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Elephi, and I'll be working on Forum Support for the Music & Dance community!
I've always had an interest in the arts, but when I was a college student, I followed a friend of mine into Music Theory & Ear Training classes. After learning about composition and musical structure, I never heard songs the same way again! My world opened up entirely, and I found myself with a completely new perspective on music, theatre, and choreography.
There's nothing I won't listen to at least once, and some of my favorite genres include blues, folk, 70's classic rock, motown, acapella, opera, hip-hop/country, musicals, big band & swing, J-rock/pop, bluegrass, gaming & anime soundtracks, and world music.
My interest in world cultures has turned me on to many varied kinds of dance from all over the globe, and I'm fascinated by how the arts moves our souls.
I'm grateful to be accepted as part of the Music & Dance subcommunity here on 7Cups, and I hope that we will get to share plenty of amazing and creative content together!

Yayy Elephii! Welcomeeeeee🫶

@CompassionateArrow
This is all thanks to you, Arrow. :) I appreciate you so much for your suggestions and walking me through this process of supporting the forum. You're the best!
@Elephi
Awww Ele💜💜 We couldn't be happier to have you onboard🫶
Nice to meet you.
Did some African and other dances, and played instruments from piano to saxophone, guitar, drums, djembe and sing and songwriter too.
Dance feels so great, and singing and playing my guitar...usually I do these things pretty consistently.
I find hobbies and interests uplifting and inspiring. And music is pretty healing and I'm usually listening to it.
Bad accidents, big multiple life changes, health and family emergencies and crisis throughout my life have made it a struggle to keep up with my hobbies and interests or make any kind of super ideal progress but when I push back and find the fun in it again it's so rewarding.
Maybe see you around
@communicativePond1728
It's nice to meet you too, Pond!
Do you have any examples of African dance or djembe music that you can share?? I'd love to see a thread pop up on either or both of those!
It's amazing that you play so many instruments! As much as I love learning about music, I'm not very coordinated or good at keeping rhythm. 😅
If you're a singer/songwriter, I'd encourage you to post some of your lyrics too!
I'm sorry to hear that some major stresses in your life have kept you away from your hobbies, but I love to hear that you're still pushing forward and enjoying yourself as you do so!
Cheers to you!

@chyni
Oh, thank you Chyni! I've never heard Jamaican folksongs before! I'm listening now, and they have a charming quality that I didn't expect. The harmonies are lovely. 💜 So far, I think "Alleluya" is one of my favorites! :)

@Kristynsmama
Thank you! Looks like I can't un-feature a thread, and I just now accidentally tagged this as a check-in thread while trying to do so. Haha. Guess that's part of learning the ropes. 😅 Is anyone else about to undo these changes?
@Elephi
you will get the hang of everything. I have trouble un featuring things sometimes. I have found that if I refresh my screen it’s usually unpinned.
@Kristynsmama
I will try that, thanks, Kristyn. It looks like I was able to un-check the check in, but I haven't been able to un-feature yet, on this thread at least. Arrow just kindly reminded me about the taglist, which I'd totally forgotten about! So I'm updating some posts to add that as well. Learning! Haha.
Adding the missing taglist! Sorry ya'll! Thanks for your patience.
