Finally! After more than a year of not hitting the dance floor I was able to rekindle my affair with my first love : DANCING
Drew and I tried a HIP-HOP Class @ Brewing Point Studio last Wednesday ( thank you to a special holiday) Our teacher for that afternoon was Niko Bolante - a former member of Phil. All Star.
Oh I really missed dancing. To be honest, I was a bit sad :( If I would give myself a grade I would definitely get an F! My memory sucks, my moves are out of control, timing is really bad. And those kids, my classmates.. holy cow, they are way younger than me, hahahaha. No, I am not a superb dancer but I do know I can dance ( you heard that, Simon Fuller?) .
It was a good start for me, Let’s say I am just “warming-up”, I believe my mind and body will be back to it’s “normal” state again. Just give me a couple of sessions and I can loudly say ”I m Back - and I m here to stay”
For my first session, Niko taught us dance steps to the beat of Radar by Usher ( check out the link above) I was happy to hear Niko told us some inspiring words :
“If you’ve watched Usher’s dancers, their moves and facial expressions are like of Ushers, they dance with passion.. there’s no such thing as back-up dancers… they are DANCERS…”
Dancing, I know, will always be a part of my system. I’m no longer in my prime, I am old school. But it doesn’t mean I would just let go of it. I will hold on to it for the mere fact that it is something I love. Sometimes I would think - I envy my friends who pursue a dancing career, they are of course doing fantastic. But then again I realized it’s not a thing I wanna do for a living, nevertheless I would still want to dance, dance in the streets, in my room, on stage, with my idols like Justin T. and Usher but most important of all dance to glorify the Giver of talents - God.
I woke up yesterday embracing the body aches - it is expected. In spite of that, I am excited with the next sessions. Just like finding an old friend you never had enough chance to love.
So I tell myself… Don’t just walk Sweet, Dance.
*Dear Usher, I won’t be able to watch you when you come here in PI next week, I’m in Singapore! How dare you not wait for me :_(
