DANCE?! WHAT IS
THAT!
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 lines and being pretty infront of everyone but it is more about the creativity in a dance and how dancers dare to express the dance movements.
However, I do still feel that dancers should look presentable as well. As for me, I am always low in my self esteem thus I feel that my appearance is very important otherwise I do not feel confident at all. I know it is wrong to think that way however, I am still trying learn to feel more confident and trying not care so much about my appearance and to express myself even more. As the world is a judgemental world, dancers need to learn to be brave and not let people that judge you hold you back from doing what you love and what you want to do. Once dancers are afraid to express themselves, no one will know who you are and no one will ever take notice of you because you do not dare to show what you want to show.
It's not who you are, it's who you THINK
you are that holds you back.
DIFFERENCE? ⇘
Dance communicates in a way that no other art forms can. It is a form of art where artists use their voices and bodies to convey a message or artistic expression. In my opinion it has a unique ability to reach people deeply and energetically. We use movements to express what we are trying to say and it does not have to be a set vocabulary of language that already exist. It can be as simple or as complex as if needed, and the interpretation of it will be different for every audience. It makes the audience question themselves about the choreography which makes it even more interesting for them as it engages the audience to interpret however they feel about the piece.
HOW? ↴
All of us know that dance in Singapore has very limited opportunities to strive in and people are struggling to have a stable and successful career through dance. Most people in this society thinks that dance is not a good idea to strive for but most dancers feel that dance is their passion and no matter what others think about dance as career, a dancer’s burning passion still will not die. I could start contributing by accepting help from people to perform for some events or in any performances. These could further develop dance in the future because there will still be some groups performing rather than nobody. Audience will still be able to appreciate the art of dance because it is not easy as it takes a lot of hard work for dancers to be practicing everyday. I could also organise some workshops or classes to teach those people who are interest in dance. I could also volunteer to perform for the elderly. I feel that it will put a smile on them and it will also warm their heart.
Everyone has a different say about what is dance to them. There is no right or wrong about anyone's opinion.
It is not easy being a dancer as they have to dedicate their blood, sweat and tears to perform something extraordinary. Good things never comes easy without any hardwork.
