“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance.”

Alan Watts

Dancing is always fun be it curfew or not. But keeping up with my dancing schedule during this time has been a bit challenging. With all the work form school and other things, you lose track of time to engage in some dancing. But with the constant reminders of my teachers, I have danced a couple of times during the past weeks. I choreographed a dance and improved my stretching and pointing. Even though dancing alone at such uneventful times is quite boring it has helped me to stay fit and engaged.

I have allocated Tuesday and Friday evenings to practise dancing. I start off with warm-up stretchings and then move onto the 12 main ‘sarambas’. I dance for about 1 and a half hours each evening and it helps me to tire myself in something else other than school assignments.

With the upcoming dancing concerts, I believe it is best to build up the necessary fitness and also to be fluent with all the steps and traditions.
