Dance for a reason
Seeing many dancers stop dance for whatever reasons they might have is always sad.
Knowing your purpose of dance is a very important aspect of being a dancer. Sometimes we get distracted by the things around. It might be work, might be relationships…. And sometimes it might just wanting to improve yourself so badly that you get blinded and just train so hard that you don’t even realize what you are training for.
Keeping yourself in tune with your directions keeps yourself in check.
“Dance requires a balance of the body, heart and soul.
I dance to inspire and for edification…what do you dance for?”

Code Edge and Project Element Singapore (part 2)
Code Edge and Project Element Singapore came to a close.
Saw a lot, learnt a lot more.
I guess Code Edge was one of the most high-stress performance i've been part of. Even not competing, i could feel the tension level backstage. Teams marking through steps backstage, nervous-ness on the competitors faces, doing pre-performance rites to psych themselves up.
As much as it is over, the experience is was very much worth the time and effort put in. Think that it was a really good showcase all the dancers put up. Really glad to see the local dance scene and people growing at each of these events.
All in all, its time for reflection and time for re-organization in the aftermath...

Code Edge & Project Element Singapore
Just some thoughts after the series of workshop in Project element Sinagpore
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
3 classes in a row at that level is no joke. Brain-fried after each one...hahaha.
It is no doubt an inspiring experience though.

Some thoughts after the class.
- The emphasis in dance should be placed on the aspect on musicality after there is a stable technique foundation.
- Music forms the most basic aspect of dance. It is where the movements are inspired and created from.
- Dancing from the "inside" not at the mirror.
CODE EDGE this sat @ ZOUK at 7pm.
