I have never previously participated in Culturama before, but since this is my last academic school year at UWC I decided that it would be a nice opportunity and experience to join before I leave. I had a few difference dances that I was thinking about joining as a possibility, but the France dance was run by 2 of my good friends, and they expressed to me that they thought their dance would be a good fit for me.
I have been participating in practice for a few weeks now and I find the commitment really similar to Kahaani. I am finding it a lot easier not as I have had the experience of Kahaani last year so I know how a weekly lunch rehearsal(or more) can feel like even when you don’t feel like participating sometimes. Unlike Kahaani, in my Culturama dance I have a lot more friends and people I know, making the commitment part of the activity a lot easier and making the dance a lot more fun overall. I have not missed any practice for the first couple of weeks and we even had an extra optional practice that I attended since dancing is not something I am very good at, I feel a responsibility as part of the group to put my time in to make sure I do not fall behind and cause any trouble to my dance leaders too. I am very excited to keep working hard on Culturama for the next season, our dance seems to be turning out very well and I’m looking forward to seeing the final product !
