1st Reflection
Culturama was one of the most memorable dance showcases I have ever been part of, it was both enjoyable and challenging. The last time I remember dancing in front of a big crowd was when I was 9 years old, at my old dance school. Ever since then I have never had the courage to step out on stage again, because I was scared of messing up. By the support of my friends and the well-roundedness of culturama, I began to gain more courage and decided to audition. Learning a series of intricate dance moves through a laptop screen was far more difficult than I anticipated. It took me quite a bit of time to reconnect the muscles and joints of my body again. Regaining hand-eye coordination for dancing was difficult but in the end I was able to push through. The process of this unfamiliar experience had allowed me to regain previously acquired skills yet also expand to new extensive skills. I consolidated my skill of resilience through the preparation process, many times I second guess myself. Since we were allowed to audition for 3 dances, I wanted to take the opportunity to do all. Memorising one dance was hard enough and three felt almost impossible. Many times I felt like backing out just because it was the easy way out, but I knew that this experience would amount to something which is why I decided to push on. Everyday after school for a week I would designate at least 10-30 minutes in practicing my dance moves over and over again to make sure it was perfect.
