With the end of April fast approaching, each day I
continue to work hard to keep my dream alive even though I am having really
hard/stressful time during the past few weeks. My mom had kidneys
failure and she has been on dialysis, three times a week for the rest of her life. We all love her so much but there's nothing
to be done to really fix her health problems. There are so many
other things that my family members are going through -- too many to
list. Thanks God that her first dialysis went well with no
problems. She had to change her eating habits and this has
completely changed her life too. We are try to make her life
better as much as we can. I've been by her side through this whole
horrible process, and I'm not going anywhere.
I have lots to do! I will not stop during my stressful
time. I start to go back to my dance routine and went to Hadia belly dance workshop, only Saturday. So happy to see Hadia, she is one of my
respected dance teacher! As usual, I still participated in her ‘Body
Logic workshop’. What Hadia did was to start with technique, she had us
drilling proper move many times. She was giving so much information
through the entire 3 hours to help the new participants understand the nature
of oriental style dancing. I can see some of the new participants
felt uneasy of her Body Logic combination sequences. That was
very useful and I am really glad to polish my technique, I love that!
The afternoon workshop was the drumsolo! You know me well, I hate
choreography, I never dance it and never teach it. I always choose to create my
own choreography. The drumsolo workshop was great cause I rehearsed many time
in her technique class, I actually felt I was dancing a lot in this
workshop, I was exhausted by the end of the 3 hours.
I had an amazing rehearsal last week with my students.
Not only the class was great, the students are all working hard, they are
all so respectful. I have loads of interesting news and events to
spice up your dancing life! I am starting to think about the beginning of
May. This time of year always reminds me of celebrations – Mother’s day and
Penang World Belly Dance Day charity event. I am participating my solo
dance, wish me luck to complete the whole choreograph.
