Most of us experience dark days and times in our lives. Jake Gellis danced through his and found some wisdom about life, perspective and happiness along the way. Jake Gellis is a 32-year-old Long Island native who currently lives in the Corning, NY area. He is a union factory worker of twelve years and a small business owner. Jake has also spent nearly 20 years as a “street dancer,†learning, performing, and teaching multiple genres of dance. He is internationally recognized for his popping, which involves movements like “the robot†and “waving.†Although he has performed in front of thousands of people both live and on television, this will be his first speaking engagement, and he believes it will be the most important and most fun time he has ever spent on a stage! He will be bringing his personal version of illusion to the stage â€" “flipping reality†â€" and reinforcing the importance of having fun in our everyday lives. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
