* MIA for a while*
I really don't feel like blogging.
Alot of things i wanted to blog about but i don feel like it.
Well let's juz talk abt the dances.
Belly dancing was really fun. 2 teachers and 1 of their student were there. The student is slim and quite pretty. They each performed for us but i like the student alot, mayb cos she's slim haha. But oh man...i feel that belly dancing has that mysterious aura that makes you feel very attracted to it wihtout you realising it. It's so graceful yet powerful. It's so sexy that i would expect all the middle east men to fall in love with the women dancing. Then we were told by them that in ancient times, belly dancing is danced infront of women, between women. Of course they were there for weddings..and when a gal goes to labour...u get the drift. And to know that it's danced for women to see onli, makes it even appealing to me. Bcos the fact is you could celebrate your figures without feeling ashame of it. You don't need guys to tell u that u look gd. In fact belly dancing makes u feel real gd. Bcos in this belly dancing world, there's no need to suck in ur tummy,tuck down your butt,point your toes. And they rejoice in having a tummy. The dancing is relaxed, like i said u don have to suck in the tummies, tuck ur butt down, wherease in many other dancing these are the tings u have to constantly remember. I rem i used to b scolded by my dancing teacher for letting my tummy out instead of sucking it in. You don even have to point your toes! Nice powerful sexy hip sways without having to be so stiff! It makes you accept your body figure and belly dancing is not abt how fat u are or how slim u are but whether you could 'present' the movements, even if ur fat you still look gd dancing it. I walked out of the place feeling so proud of my body like i never had been b4.
Lindy hop was exhausting. So i had leg aches for the next 2 days. Onli vanessa and richard turned up, xiaohui oculdn't wake up. So we were there from 9 to 11.30 learning the dance steps, solo and partner dances. It was really fun to get a taste of lindy hop. I think it's too tiring for me. Lindy hop is fast paced and the moves aren't that graceful. But was fun. Realy fun.
After that we went assumption english school to teach kids lindy hop. Well it's not really teaching. The kids, actually teenagers and some in their mid 20s..from MINDS, they are mentally disabled. So the idea was to let them have fun, basically just asking them to do some funnie stuffs and let them play. It's my 1st time interacting with this group of pple, i hardly have any knowlesdge abt them. It's kinda sad when i look at them. But they are a bunch of happie pple! They have their own sense of humor and likes to show off their talents haha. There were some kids there who really have some serious problems such that they don even respond to what we ask them to do. Anyway mi n van didn't teach them, richard was quite enthu with kids so he was the one..:D
that's all. Got photos down there..pls scroll down..
