Now that club fair is over, I want to take a moment to thank my dance family <3
The most exciting part of every performance is the training. Yes, it is tiring, but we are always so spirited. Like a large family, we share our successes and failures and happiness and sadness. It's truly touching to see some of the younger members become better dancers and more open people in general under our guidance. Even those who shied away from us in the beginning would engage in our dance discussions and backstage banters (do you like my alliteration there?) Truth be told, the onstage performances may be ephemeral ( 3~4 minutes) but what lasts forever is our friendship. Sometimes we'd have a pizza party or two to celebrate our successes BEFORE the real performance to acknowledge the time and effort we put into perfecting the choreography. What we acknowledge is not our result, but the blood sweat tears AND LAUGHTER put into a dance. I remember once we all sat in a circle and shared our stories of how dance has aided us and guided us through academic work and social life. At the end, we all left the room teary eyed because dance has truly become a huge part of us. We laugh we cry we smile we dance together. The spotlights, the cheers, the applause are merely background accompaniments. At the end of each performance, we smile and we cheer because no matter how many moves we missed, it would always be considered a success. Smiling through a performance and becoming closer through training have become the true victories of each performance. Whether it be D.Co or Hobo Magic (a dance group we made) or our Junior performance during our graduation ceremony, every dance family has its own personality and I've learned to embrace each one.
