A very important aspect of life is commitment. Seems like a simple word but holds a lot more meaning. How committed are you to your direction in life, to the things you dedicate yourself to. Little things you do in you daily life makes up the big picture of your life.
In dance, it works the same way.
Stretching that side spilt just by another 1 cm each time.
Spending an additional 5 minutes thinking through steps before you sleep.
Going on your tiptoes while brushing your teeth.
“Every little detail counts…”

Dance as a reflection of self
Have you thought about dance as a reflection of your personality?
If you are someone who is very enthusiastic about everything, your dance would be high energy based. A cool person would have styles pertaining to sleek and smooth movements.
When you really dance, you tend to let go of your conscious self. Enjoy dance, it’s the time where you can really be expressing yourself as ..….. yourself.
Just some food for thought.

Many thoughts came up over the weekend. Hope this experience will be something that marks a turning point in my dance life.
Some things cannot be told but have to be experienced. Even if you try to put these things in words, some moments will take a lifetime to explain.
How much do you want it and how much are you willing to put in to get it.
"....Still keeping those dreams alive...that moment dancing."

Breaking Boundaries
Great things happen because of individuals who dare to dream. Breaking their boundaries and making the once impossible become possible.
Aim to exceed your limits each day. Keep going at your limits to grow more each day. When you go on stage, you will show the accumulation of hard work in your daily practices.
Train ambitiously but think humbly….

Dance as an expression
Being able to emote through dance is a gift to all dancers. No matter what the feeling may be, dance can be used as an outlet of expression.
It comes to the next point on how you utilize these emotions when you dance. It’s the same with acting. You will be able to let the audience experience what you feel only when you are truly emoting it.
I remembered once a teacher mentioned that only when you grow older and experience life would you be able to harness these emotions that will touch the audience.
This is what makes it an art and something to be appreciated…

Style Vs Substance
I've always had this thought about dance whether its style or technique that is more important. It finally dawned to me that only with techniques that you can execute movements with ease.
This then translates as style as what many people see.
An encouragement for myself and other dancers alike.
Keep working hard... you'll see the results soon.
"Skip practice for 1 day and you will know.
Skip practice for 2 days and your teacher will know.
Skip practice for 3 days and the audience will know."

Just watching this clip made me think more deeply into dance. More often than not we are doing steps and trying to move our body to match the music, but watching this clip has made me think about more.
Moving the body with the music as part of it. Immersing yourself as part of the music and emoting the movements in dance. Dancing and not just doing steps...
Just some food for thought.

An Ending and A Beginning
End of one phase means a start in a new one. New thoughts, new ideas, new beginnings.
"When you dance from the heart, you'll know what you are dancing for... Always keep in mind your reason for dance.."
