Finding My Rhythm: A Reflection on My Dance Journey

As this topic is very close to me, I would like to share my own experience.    

    Dancing has been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I watched dance performances with wide-open eyes, captivated by every graceful movement and fluid step. It wasn't long before I found myself enrolled in choreography classes, eager to learn and explore the art form. 

    Over the course of five years, I immersed myself in dance classes, honing my skills and discovering new ones. It was a transformative experience that taught me more than just dance moves; it taught me about myself. I learned what I really enjoyed, what I was capable of and what I wanted out of life.

    Through dance, I discovered a deep sense of self-expression and creativity. I learned to trust my instincts and let go of my inhibitions, allowing my body to move freely and authentically. It was a liberating experience, one that helped me to better understand who I was and what I valued. But dancing has also taught me the importance of perseverance and hard work. It wasn't always easy, and there were times when I felt frustrated or discouraged. But I learned to push through those moments, to keep practicing and refining my skills. It was a valuable lesson that has served me well in other areas of my life.

    Eventually I came to the realisation that dance was not my true calling, at least not in the way I had originally imagined. But I have never regretted the five years I spent dancing; they were an essential part of my journey. They taught me about myself, about what I valued, about what I wanted out of life, all lessons that have continued to shape me long after I stopped attending dance classes regularly.  So I encourage anyone who has a passion for dance, or any other art form, to embrace the journey, for it is a transformative experience that will shape you in ways you never imagined.

    In the end, I believe that dance is not just about the movements and the steps, it's about the journey itself. It's about discovering who you are, what you value and what you want out of life. And for that, I will always be grateful for my time as a dancer.

      Everyone says man is a social creature. You can't argue with that, because in essence we are made up of what and who surrounds us. Therefore, it is important to surround ourselves with good music, books, pleasant people...especially important about people. I wouldn't be the person I am if I hadn't been surrounded by wonderful people throughout my long dancing life. 

       Thank you for that!  ❤

Stage presence

Here are some tips on how a dancer should carry themselves on stage during a performance:

- Maintain good posture: Stand tall with a straight back and open chest to exude confidence and elegance.

- Engage core muscles: Keep your abdominal muscles tight to support your movements and maintain stability.

- Move with purpose: Every movement should be deliberate and intentional, conveying the emotions and story of the dance.

- Express through the eyes: Connect with the audience by using facial expressions to convey the emotion and intention of the dance.

- Pay attention to spacing: Be aware of the positioning of yourself and other dancers on stage to maintain proper spacing and avoid collisions.

- Confidence and poise: Own the stage with a sense of confidence and poise, commanding attention through your movements and presence.

Remember, stage presence is just as important as technical skill in delivering a captivating performance.
