i can dAnCe!
I remember my childhood, a jolly and an epitome of the saying there's no harm in trying (in col. term trying hard).

Dancing is my first love....

I was in kinder when i intentionally stood up so my teacher would recognize me, she was choosing then the dance participants....so that how I was handpicked for the Pastores dance. Seing my ability, she then let me play the main role as PussyCat in the "Owl and the PussyCAt".

In my third grade, I enrolled in a dance class even when my body was not inclined in dancing streaks....I decided to enter ballet class, as a beginner I aimed to prove my worth in it having some of my classmates in their advanced lessons. I was luckily chosen (this time, I didn't stand up intentionally) to play the one of the fairies in the Sleeping Beauty presentation (we were four then, I was the only one who came from the beginners) but I later backed out because my Mom couldn't afford the fairytale amount of the costume.....but it was okay with me. I learned my ballet lessons, that's the most important one. I changed my instructor, still with the ballet group but she taught us some hawaiian and tahitian stints and it was fun! Later, I indulged in modern dances, Debbie Gibson "Electric Youth" was in.

In my highschool years, I then learned those folklore steps (step-brush-hop-slide) from simple steps of Cariñosa to the festy Tinikling. In fact, in one school program we presented four numbers and I could see in the audience eyes' "kayo na naman?" OA na super but our Dance Instructor could not find a time to teach another group so we were forced to learn these steps quickly...

I dance ballet still, when I joined the school contest that was my masterpiece. I participated in a Literary-Musical Contest twice (Looking Through the Eyes of Love with Joaquin and Open Arms with Gerry), and only in my second time that I grabbed the crown...a product of hardword and creativity. I treasured such winning...to think I was in my college years then.

How I wish I can still dance...I got no time. But Im going to teach my kids how to....

Current Mood: artistic
Current Music: humming....
