Rise to the Rhythm (Author Interview)

Rise to the Rhythm looks like a great motivational and take-charge kind of book.  What type of readers did you write the book for? 

I wrote this book hoping it would reach and touch the lives of those who may feel as though they’re stuck in the rhythm of a life that’s going nowhere. Yet, they’re still hanging on to a glimmer of hope. And if this is you know that your, “Hope Has Arrived!” 

How long did it take you to write Rise to the Rhythm?

It took me four and a half years to write this book. It truly has been a labor of love and frustration. Here’s what I mean. Labor of Love: I was, not dying but, living to do a book about how important it is for you to find your life’s rhythm and get connected to living it on the beat. Because you’ll find it to be the glue, you need to reassemble the broken and scattered pieces associated with the disconnect of living a stagnant life in which will get you nowhere.
Here’s the thing: This book isn’t necessarily about dance in which one might perceive from the title and or cover. It’s about achievement through mental movement and “life in action” choreography designed by me for your mind, body, and soul.

Frustration: It was difficult to come up with solutions for problems we all deal with such as how to handle rejection, finding the motivation to get up & groove, procrastination, and overcoming your fears. My goal was to put a different spin or twist on these common setbacks and or challenges, so they wouldn’t bore or seem to be so cookie-cutter to the reader. 

What inspired you when writing Rise to the Rhythm? 

I wrote Rise because I desired to do something different, bold, and a bit daring.

 

Why did you decide to become a writer? 

I speak about this in the book. Here’s a sneak peek. 

Rise to The Rhythm-Groove to Improve 

Get Back on Beat

Thinking about his story gave me a lift, despite the minor setback. Especially when I thought I had such a good flow going. Either way, it was time to rise to the rhythm and get back on the beat. Here’s why. What people may not know is that I’d always wanted to be a writer, and I developed interest during the early stages of my career. I’d written materials for the stage, for print, radio commercials, television spots, and other media outlets. However, it was nothing as serious as writing a book. What influenced my decision the most was blogging? I was introduced to it in 2009 by a female friend, and an amazing make -up artist whom I’d worked with frequently.

Strangely, in the beginning, when she mentioned “blogging,” I did not understand what she was talking about. Until she explained further. She said it was the same as writing a newspaper article, but this time I’d become the journalist. I could write about any topic I want, yet it has to come from my perspective and or personal experiences. She then told me how she had built a fan base of interested readers, who also commented on what she wrote. This blew my mind because I didn’t know there was such a platform to express oneself. It intrigued me to explore it further. Then I “Made It A Date Not to Procrastinate!”

How did you come up with the ideas in Rise to the Rhythm?

They all stemmed from the concept that movement (mentally, physically, and spiritually) is life and life is movement. It’s a fact, “The Rhythm of Life Is A Powerful Beat.”

Did anything stick out as particularly challenging when writing Rise to the Rhythm?

Yes, it was a complete challenge trying to create chapters I felt would not only appeal to readers but also provide them with an action plan that didn’t feel so tedious but one with intrigue, excitement, and obtainability.

What do you like to do when not writing?

I’m an amusement park fanatic. I love rollercoaster rides, the food, and playing the games, etc. However, most of my friends and colleagues are too afraid to even attempt the rides, so it’s difficult to find someone to go with. Do you have any suggestions?  Second, I love fine dining and going to the movies. In fact, I could do so two or three times a week if I had the time.

Where can readers find out more about your work?

There are several places where you can get more information about me and my work. Check them out below.

“The Naked- Truth Will Set You Free & Help You Get Your Body Back on Track”

Says, Joey L. Dowdy Famed Choreographer and Author of “Get Up & Groove: Step Into Greatness!” 

Eating Issues Identified- I Eat Over Because…
PASADENA, Calif. – Jan. 31, 2019 – PRLog — His new 3-part video series entitled “The Naked Truth” strips down the lies and pulls back the veil. It reveals the raw truths about healthy eating, weight loss, body issues, and what it really takes to “Get Your Body Back on Track!”

Video 1. “The Naked Truth-The Body Beautiful” Pt. A talks about how “U Can’t Change Your Body Until U Change The Way U Think About Your Body.” It’s “The Naked Truth” millions aren’t being told says Joey. He also states that most people think to lose weight all they really need to do is eat healthier and exercise more. So, they do this year after year only to end up with little to no lasting results. Because they’re missing the first naked truth component to progressing forward. It is you must “Stop The Negative Thinking” about your body. Here’s why. People often forget that the body is alive and well. Your brain is continually sending it signals, vibrations, and messages what you’re thinking about it. So, if you’re constantly reciting what you don’t like about it, “it feels the neglect.” Then what it will do is hold on to those feeling as a source of physical protection, and or excess body weight.

Video 2.”Eating ISSUES Identified-The Naked Truth!” Pt. B {below} expresses this. “Until You Identify The Issues Driving You to Over Eat Making A Healthy Lifestyle Change Will Be Difficult.” It’s clear most people equate food and overeating to be the real problem why they are overweight. But is it really? Yet like every problem, there is a cause and a root that stems deep. Is eating too much food the problem, or is there something more? What’s Food Got to Do with It?
Joey says, “Food is not solely the problem and you need it for survival. There’s no doubt nutritious food fuels the brain and body. It’s a good thing. However, the problem is people are using it for the wrong reasons.” Check It Out!

Millions of people face & fight depression daily only to find themselves running around in circles by having to rely strictly on prescribed medication for their healing and help. Many have been traumatized by such things as, losing a loved one, a job, a health scare, or living in an abusive relationship. However, a UCLA research study shows that drugs aren’t the only treatment, or in most cases the best treatment. Because they do little for mild or moderate cases of depression. Here’s why. Depression causes inactivity and its intent is to make you motionless. It does so by keeping your mind occupied on negativity thoughts like doubt, failure, your shortcomings, and or your insecurities.

These are all tricks meant to slow you down, but there’s a new-found method working its magic and getting results.  It’s why many are singing a new tune saying, “Goodbye Depression; Hello to Progression!” See why in this new video.

Groove On This: “What U Think U See Isn’t Always What U Get!”

 

PASADENA, Calif. – Aug. 7, 2018 – Amzeal — Okay, here’s what you need to know according to Joey L. Dowdy aka Dr. Dancer, Host, Author, Famed Choreographer, Fitness Motivator, Dance Instructor, Speaker and Lifestyle Coach to the Stars. He says, “A setback may appear to only have a downside but if you look at it from a distinct perspective, then peel back its mask, you’ll discover it has an upside. And that is, it has come to teach you a valuable life lesson.”

Because when faced with a setback one may question if it comes to interrupt your life’s rhythm and flow, or did it come to reroute or redirect it? We all know that challenges come, and challenges go, but it’s all about how you deal with them that determines the outcome.

This is the topic of conversation in his *New Video entitled, “A Setback, Is A Set-Up!”  Where he engages  in a gripping up-close and personal interview with ABC Los Angeles Girl- on -the -Groove “Carla Flagg.” It’s an action-packed dramatic event where she shares her story about a horrific incident that led her to ask the question, “Is This The End?”

“Welcome to LIFE-in-HOT-pursuit” states Joey L. Dowdy aka Dr. Dancer

Famed Choreographer, Host, Fitness Motivator, and Coach the Stars Joey L. Dowdy says, “It’s Time You Turn Up The Heat and Claim Your Prize As The Chase For Happiness and Big Success Is Well within Your Reach!”

 

PASADENA, Calif. – July 5, 2018 – eTradeWire — Did you know there are million- dollar ideas all around you? Yet the question is, do you see them? Did you know that your big opportunity or golden moment is where you are right now? And it could be sending you signals in diverse ways such as an idea, a vision, a dream, a hunch, or a notion. And if so, it could only mean one thing, “You Might Be on to Something.”

However, if you want to be a success in life know that you’ll never get there by being content or complacent. Which is what Joey L. Dowdy is clarifying in his new video, “LIFE-in-HOT-pursuit!” “he says you must be willing to Make a Move, and it starts with not only having a deep desire to achieve more but it’s also about the Chase to Cross The Finish Line. Yet the key to your success and not falling by the wayside is to Keep Your Eyes on The Prize. Nonetheless, that begins with having an appetite or hunger to devour the knowledge and develop the skills needed to win the race and therefore claim your prize.”

For example: If your goal is to get slim and trim you must learn to Intensify Your Healthy Intentions by getting a plan and sticking with it no matter what to “See Change Happen!” Or to Set Fire to Your Passion or Dream the secret is to rock to the beat of your heart. Know that now is the time to Crank Up Your Courage and go for that dream job. No more sitting on the sidelines to simply watch life, people, and opportunities pass you by. You need to put faith over fear and execute that potential life-changing and or money-making idea swirling around in your head. It’s time you “Put It to Work!”

Joey says, “I know you’re afraid that people will laugh at you and possibly think you’re a little crazy for having such ambition and drive. Yet that’s okay; let them laugh at one hungry fool who’ll one day be laughing too. Yet, this time, the joke will be on them when they discover they’ve been left behind and see your feet crossing the finish line.” For more inspiration, please check out his new video.

NEWS FLASH!   

 

FAMED CHOREOGRAPHER JOEY L. DOWDY SAYS, “NO DRUGS”, I HAVE A BETTER SOLUTION FOR STRESS AND BOREDOM!

 

June 28, 2014, Los Angeles California

 

Joey L. Dowdy aka “Dr. Dancer” fitness motivator for ABC, KTLA, Telemundo/NBC, and the original choreographer for boy bands like Backstreet Boys, Take-Five & No Mercy says, “The best way to alleviate stress and boredom is to “Put Your Groove Into Action.”

Which is actually what his new book series entitled, “Get Up & Groove! Motivational Movement Techniques is all about.” 

Joey’s series was inspired by a Discovery.com study stating that in 2010 scientists uncovered a staggering link between boredom and heart disease. During the 1980s researchers questioned more than 7,500 workers in London about boredom on the job. When they tracked these workers down twenty years later, they discovered that those who had reported being bored at work were 2.5 times more likely to have died of heart disease. 

Joey finds this statistic to be shocking, but ever so real and says, “Far too often I witness people who are bound by limits and are living way below their performance capabilities. Yet what astounds me is they don’t realize it’s leading them down the road to boredom, depression, and poor health.” 

That is why his first book of the series, entitled, “Step Into Greatness! Perform! Where Dancespiration Meets Transformation,” is so relevant. It presents true stories of real people who took the steps to face their doubts, fears, and obstacles. Their decisions led to challenges, but the challenges led to real change, and that change led them to transform their lives! 

So, if you’re looking for a “groove to Improve your life,” this book leads the way with infectious inspiration that will make you, Get Up Out of Your Seat and Start Grooving On Your Feet!

Former publisher OF DANCER MAGAZINE, Owen Goldman says, “Joey L. Dowdy is one of the most creative and original choreographers and dance teachers I’ve ever seen. His work is riveting.” 

Joey’s book is distributed through Xlibris publishing and can be purchased in all forms, including e-book, paperback, and hardcover.

Famed Choreographer/Instructor Joey L. Dowdy’s says, “It’s Never Too Late so, Get Up & Groove Yourself Into Shape.”

Quote: First lady Michelle Obama partners with surgeon general M.D. Regina Benjamin for the fight against childhood obesity. Michelle declares this a “State of Emergency.” She states, “I don’t want our kids to live diminished lives because we failed to Step Up Today.”

 

Joey L. Dowdy aka Dr. Dancer original choreographer for such boy bands as Backstreet Boys, Take – Five & No Mercy, creator of World Dance Groove, and ABC & K-TLA television fitness motivator sends his own shout out. He says, “If we all work together, we can beat this epidemic and no longer live our lives as victims, it’s through implementing healthier lifestyle changes that we can strike back and gain the victory.”

He confirms that you can “Never Be Too Young, or Old, Nor Is It Too Late to Stretch Those Limbs and Get Up & Groove Yourself Into Shape!”

However, Joey is no stranger to the challenges that kids face. He states, “I grow up as an overweight kid who later developed low self- esteem. I looked to food as my comforter that only made matters worse. As it was a vice, I used like many others to eat my way through every emotional challenge. Later I learned that the food became a shield; it was something I hid behind. Because I was afraid to deal with the issues that road blocked me from learning how to accept and love myself.”

Recently More Than A Thousand Kid’s Rushed to The Stage for Joey’s Get Up & Groove Fitness workout during The Los Angeles Unified School District National Nutrition Month Health Fair entitled, “Nutrition from The Ground Up A-Z Garden Bar” an event held March 4th at Edison Elementary school in Glendale California.

This well-received annual event is designed to give kids and teachers more awareness (through crafty & creative display booths) about the unique range of fruits and vegetables available, as well as show them how they can incorporate these healthier options into their daily teaching and eating plans.

It was after enjoying all those healthy delicious treats they chasse` (chased) on over to the Stage for the main course and highlight Joey L. Dowdy’s Get Up & Groove Dance Work Out. Where Joey focused on the benefits of Physical Activity through dance. His fun easy to follow high energy dance moves showed them just how much “Cardio Does A Body!” How might it? Here are few examples.

                         Joey’s Disco Dance Fitness

 

PRLog (Press Release) – Feb 01, 2011 –

Famed Joey L. Dowdy Choreographer/Instructor’s Disco Dance Fitness will have you singing, “I, I, I, Am Stayin Alive!” Hundreds of cooks and food service workers of every Age, Color, Shape, and Size jammed packed the ballroom at the California Schools Nutrition Association (CSNA) 58TH Annual convention held at the Pasadena Convention Center Jan 15-17 2011.

The stellar three-day festival featured a lineup of new healthy snacks designed for school’s cafeterias by way of different display booths, taste tests, and free products giveaways.

However, another major highlight and main attraction took place just one building away as eager participants stood on the ballroom floor “Ready For Some Action.” This lively crew waited for instructions that were so brilliantly executed by AKA Dr. Dancer & Master Teacher Joey L. Dowdy, who geared them up for their exciting day ahead.

 Joey is the original Choreographer for Pop sensations like Backstreet Boys, Take-5, No Mercy and a Los Angeles ABC television Fitness motivator. And he didn’t fail to please this very enthusiastic group by serving up a delicious Disco Dance Fitness workout that delighted workers from all over the California area.

Dancing Dowdy showed them how to strut their “Hot Stuff”. He started the class with a warm-up followed by a series of Sizzling routines that took them down good ole` memory lane with such funky grooves like, Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff”, Saturday Night Fever’s Bee Gee’s “Stayin Alive”, Curtis Mayfield “Movin On Up! And the always electric crowd-pleaser “YMCA”.

Joey ‘s slick moves and magnetic personality was a sure-fire winner. The complete set up was in connection with this year’s 70’s theme and their Saturday night awards gala & Disco Dance party. His class was the prequel for what would occur later that evening; where these boogie on down participants would have an opportunity to bust a move on the dance floor and woo the crowd with some of the steps they learned earlier with Dr. Dancer Joey L Dowdy.

And like the 70’s, let’s just say, “ They were all Super Fly”. Robert Garrett famed Movie music scoring producer managed video and still pictures.

Nov. 9, 2009 – PRLog — World Dance Groove™

Breaking Barriers & His Shackles Joey L. Dowdy famed Choreographer/Instructor speaks out about the Hush, Hush, Silence of Domestic Abuse.

 

 Joey says, “This couldn’t be a more talked about and controversial subject right now.” 


You know this is BIG, BIG news when celebs like Rihanna, Oprah, Tyler Perry, Monique and “So You Think You Can Dance” judge Mary Murphy are all talking about domestic violence and their abusive past.

“Precious” the new Oscar-worthy movie directed by Lee Daniels depicts the trials and tribulation of an obese young teenage African American female Gabourey Sidibe. She has dreams of one day becoming a leading girl in music videos. However, her dreams are shattered by her mentally and physically abusive mother. And sexually abusive father who both tell her she’ll never be anything good.”

 

 Joey L. Dowdy World Dance Groove’s Artistic Director and famed original choreographer for boy bands like Backstreet Boys & Take-Five know a step or two about the twists, and turns, of domestic violence gripping hold from his own experiences. Joey states, “I remember as a child being repeatedly molested by an older person who forced me to do things that violated my innocence. Like so many others I was afraid to speak out in fear of what others would think about me, and or I was afraid they wouldn’t believe me. It even brought about confusion; I thought I caused it. I even wondered if there was something wrong with me. In fact, I didn’t know who to turn to, or where to go, so sadly, I just buried my feelings. I never talked about it. I just wore the pain.”

I can totally identify with “Gabby” the teenage girl in “Precious” because I was an overweight teen who was constantly being picked on and called names by my classmates. Soon after I developed low self- esteem, and a hatred for the way I looked. I now realize it was partly because of not discussing and/or getting help for my molestation issue.” But this is what I know now. “You Can Turn Your Pain into Power” if you act upon just three things.

 

  1. Know that the battered are often too embarrassed or ashamed to ask for help.    

 

  1. Don’t worry what others may think about you; move ahead anyway.

 

  1. Seek help and support; speak out to a loved one or a close friend. As soon as you start to help yourself, others will help you.

    Joey gives thanks to God for his amazing grace during his most vulnerable times. He says, “I was just a kid who could have easily resorted to drugs, crime, or suicide, for comfort and emotion release, but I didn’t because my faith kept me alive. As well as this was all happening while growing up in an abusive household where my father abused my mother; it was such an uncomfortable feeling witnessing the mental and physical torment of household domestic abuse. But I’m thankful I found hope.”

    Joey’s, YouTube channel worlddancegroove1 has two highly talked about videos, “Movement is Medicine, & Rage & Rise”, which features powerful contemporary creative dance & textual visualization montages that depict the subject matter. Viewers have commented stating how much they love these two videos. Because they focus not just on the problem, but also give them hopeful and helpful empowering solutions.

PRLog — “Is Sexy Back? Could “JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE SEXY BACK” hit dance track be correct? Did he truly bring Sexy back?    

 

 Joey L. Dowdy says, ” It never left, okay don’t get me wrong, I love that song I think it’s a classic. Justin took a bold step and different direction with his music; the song “Sexy back” brought a fresh new much-needed sound. It has a brassy hard edge attitude vibe; it makes you stand attention. It’s provocative as well as it awakened your senses. I think it’s clever and effective.

However, when it comes to dance and movement, music with an attitude has been ablaze for decades.”  Joey ‘s proves that point with his new Hot & Spicy World Dance “Sexy Groove-Hot Moves” video Lessons 101 in which delivers a range of dance styles with an international flair. It also includes his fiery easy to follow (well, with a little practice 🙂 signature moves packaged together especially for you. The holidays are here and filled with good cheer, so this couldn’t be a better gift. It will surely “Put Some Pep in Your Step” and get you in a festive celebration mood.

 Joey says, “My Sexy Groove video is designed to help you unleash your inner kitty cat, or that outer furious tiger, whichever you may need. I believe there’s a sexy side to everyone, yet you may have to dig a little to find it, but that’s okay, it’ll be a fun discovery. Trust me, just play this video whenever you’re having a difficult or boring day at work, or a lonesome cold winter’s night and it’ll surely “Spice Things Up!”  I’ll have you in a good mood and ready to Get Up & Groove.” Sounds good?

COACH TO THE STARS JOEY L. DOWDY CONFIRMS WILLIAM HUNG CAN SHAKE HIS BUN BUN

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash – FlashNews) – A Los Angeles-based dance instructor says if American Idol reject William Hung can master his moves, anyone can. Famed Dancer & Choreographer Joey L. Dowdy teaches Afro-Latino dance in Los Angeles and says anyone who’s afraid of trying this style of dance can look to William Hung for inspiration. Dowdy says after the Idol debacle, Hung showed up at his Afro-Latino class in Pasadena to improve his Ricky Martin-esque moves, and surprisingly, “He did a pretty decent job.”

The dance instructor says the only setback was Hung’s mother, who “put more pressure on him than he needed” by stepping out onto the dance floor to correct him. Dowdy says he told her, “Mommy, we love you, but you have to sit down!” From then on, Hung shook his “bonbon” with ease.

For shy wallflowers, Dowdy suggests using an instructional DVD like his own – Joey’s World Dance Groove Fitness – to practice seductive steps at home or at the office with the door shut. Afterward, he says, “You can take it to the clubs and bust it out.”
