Dance showcase – 1 month into practice
This year is my 2nd year leading a dance for dance showcase. Last year i lead a contemporary peace which is what i usually dance. But this year, i looked for a challenge to lead a jazz/hip hop piece. Jazz nor hip hop is not my type of dance that i would usually do. One of the challenges I am facing right now in choreographing and teaching the piece is the time management. Last year when I was in G10, I had more time than right now. Time commitment is very necessary when leading a piece because we have to stay organised and meet deadlines. Every lunch time is used for either dance or choreography, most after schools are for teaching the boys who struggle more than girls to learn since they are non dancers. Right now, I am feeling a little anxious since I am not very sure if we will have enough time to teach + polish our dance. We have 5 more weeks after the December break. So far, we have choreographed 4/5 dances and taught 2/5. We still have a lot of things to work on so I am scared that we will not have enough time.
What i am looking forward to, is the day when we perform. This is when all our hard works will be recognised and enjoyed by mass audience and this is what me and Ami (my partner dance leader) are trying to target.
