When you ask ordinary people what is dance for them, they would say: it's for entertainment, a hobby or it's just a compilation of moves and actions, but try asking REAL dancers. You won't hear them saying those things. Dancing for them is something significant and it's already a part of their mind, heart and soul. I for one agree with that. When I dance, I don't think that it's just for fun, entertainment or just something to pass time. Dancing is a way of expressing myself. Ever since I was born, dancing has already been attached to me. My mother is/was a dancer so it's already in my blood. She didn't force me to be a dancer. I decided it by myself. I told myself: As long as I am alive and breathing, I will continue to dance. I love the feeling of music flowing through my every being. It's also the reason why I am thankful that I am alive. God gave me this talent and I thank him for that. That's why I always treasure the time I use when I am dancing.
Here are some of the dance I've performed:
This one is an example of 'Maskara Festival' dance that we performed in school during our Filipino month. Of all the dance that I've performed this one is the most scandalous! Why scandalous? After the dance, my classmates kept on teasing me and my partner for two or more months! It was so irritating and annoying!

The first three pictures is G6 and the others is Fireworks. I like our dance in G6 because the steps are so me plus it's Hip Hop (I love Hip Hop). The dance in Fireworks is amazing! The effects of the fans are so exhilarating! Totally breathtaking. I didn't know it was that awesome while I was dancing but when I saw the pictures...wow! I love this!
This one is performed during our graduation ceremony in Taiwan Study Tour. We performed lots of dance there but I couldn't find the pictures so I can't show you. Sorry. The best thing about about this dance (the one on the two pics) is that I get to be partners with my crush! There was a waltz part so we had to hold hands and embrace! Weeeee!!!
I am also a part of our school CDT- Chinese Dance Troupe. We do diff. kinds of Chinese dances, Hip hop and Jazz. We usually perform during school programs, Alumni reunion, Gala Nights and programs outside the school like in SM X. We also join competitions like the one in YMCA. Sadly, I wasn't part of the group. They won first place.
This is a video of the dance:
Just by looking at the pics you already have an idea on what kind of dance they performed. It was a thrilling experience, well that's what they said.

That day we performed a collection of dances we performed. This concert was meant as a farewell gift to our teacher who is going back to China this coming April. Although some of the dances was a disaster (for us at least), I'm glad that it turned out ok. Actually, we didn't expect a lot people to come but we were surprised that the auditorium was almost full. It was a veru fun day for us Chinese Dance Troupe!
That's all for now. I'm going to keep updating this one 'cuz there's going to be more dance! See you next time!
