My dance journey

Sun, 04 Mar 2012 20:25:00 -0500

As a 10 years old start to have interest in the different types of dance such as hip hop,street dance,jazz. I was first expose to dance when a friend of my parents who was also an amateur dancer did a small performance. It was an catching performance for me! Her steps is powerful and quick. I feel the soul and emotions in her step; every little step seems to be sending a message to me.

I was so amused by the dance and I started to learn dancing by enrolling in hip hop dance classes. However I got to say I am not talented in dancing or perhaps a slow learner in dancing. It took me several months to get my basic steps and my coordination right. Even though the time taken is long I never give up. I continue to enhance my skills in my free time by mimicking how the others dancing and constantly practicing. Sometimes I can practice a few hours straight without resting, it is tiring and also physically demanding.

Well if you are passionate in dancing, you should take dance classes now! Do not worry that if you feel too old for dancing as age is not an issue, it is never too late to pick up as a skill or a hobby. There are also tons of health benefits such as losing weight, staying fit and having a greater overall health condition. Of course your learning journey of dance slowly and do not push too much over your limit.

A fresh start!
