FUTURE GOALS


My future goal is to be a dance instructor while also continuing to explore what more dance has to offer. So that I am able to do more than just being a performer or an instructor. After NAFA, I might consider to stick with DF academy to join more performances and competitions first. I want to experience being a performer before I start branching out and learn more about being an instructor or a choreographer. I want to be able to join more competitions around the world and not just in Singapore to compete. Thus, while gaining experience from being a performer, I could also lead my groups of friends for future performance so that I will be able to teach a class in the future.When I start being an apprentice, I will have to start to analyse my instructor on how he/she conducts the dance class and I will also start to mirror my instructor. There will also be a skill training on being an instructor to further develop my skills not only in dance.

I feel that I need to start exploring now and start to step out of my comfort zone. For example, I
can start by taking up Creation in NAFA which allows me to gain some knowledge about how to create an interesting and creative piece and also start to understand more about myself.

I feel that I should be more daring to try new things that I do not feel comfortable doing instead of overthinking. Overthinking kills as well, it is better if I actually do not overthink and just do what I want to do because this allows me to explore further and learn from my mistakes and it will make me go further in life. Moreover, being a dancer, we are not suppose be afraid what people might say or judge us because in art there is no right or wrong. Also, do not be dishearten or discourage yourself if anything goes wrong. I do judge myself all the time but there should be a balance and see it in a positive light as well. After beating yourself up, stand back up and change methods to try again to make it better. Do not throw the criticism away, intead use as a constructive feedback to improve yourself and do better.


Being a dancer with a successful career may be tough to achieve but as long as you put your heart and soul in your dance, nothing is impossible!

MORE ABOUT DANCE

DANCE?! WHAT IS THAT! Dance is the way we express ourselves when words are insufficient. We all want to be understood and if we could truly speak the words that describe our feelings, how deep and powerful they would surely be. But, those words never seem to come to us just right. There must be more reasons why we dance. Dance brings me joy, yet it brings along a multitude of emotions along its vast spectrum. Truth is, not all the time dancers would always feel joyous when they dance. Dancers do get sad and depressed and seeing some dancers giving up what they once had burning passion to dance. Dance helps me to feel good and confident about myself. Being more confident in myself in expressing my own emotions about what I feel. Dance also helps me to express myself in a different way be it happy/sad/excited/confident/scared because I know that my body do not lie so that the audience can actually see if I am enjoying or not. I feel that dance is not about the pretty ...

ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME ! Hi everyone!! My name is Hillary Na Sachi Ko , currently just turned 18 years old. I am a Singaporean,still a student pursuing a dance course :) I have been dancing ballet since i was young and slowly gained the interest of dancing but I gradually lean towards the k-pop genre as during that time k-pop was rising in popularity. At that point of time, I did not know that dancing had many different types of genres but I did not had the information of where I could sign up for those classes. It was a pity because if I had actually signed up for dance classes I could have gain more experience since young. but I still continued to dance and self learn other people’s choreography myself and take the opportunity to perform on stage whenever I can. Like during a school performance or outside performance. I decided to pursue dance as a career because I knew that I was not very good with books and just nice when I joined a dance academy called DF academy , it made me th...
