Happy New Year! Does anyone read this blog and find it interesting? haha
Anyways, lots of changes have been happening in my regular life. Work stuff is calming down but it's about to get more chaotic, so I'm preparing myself now. Change is always good... most of the time, but I still can't help but be wary of what the outcome will be.
But this is NOT a work blog! This is my dance blog. Last year, I had the pleasure of take Hadia's workshops here in Tokyo. Around November last year, our intermediate class had a guest teacher, Sali, whose teacher was Hadia.
Hadia has to be one of my favorite current dancers. I could gush about how our "real" names are similar (that's about it lol) but I feel like she is the best dancer. This is just my opinion but I would love to go study at her instructor training next month but 1. I don't have the money and 2. it's too late to call off. :(
Over the holiday vacation, I started using one of her DVDs and learning the 9 minute song. When I read her blog or watch/learn from the DVDs, I really feel inspired to become a better dancer. Right now, I want to work on feeling and my teacher pointed out that I need to have more. I want to work towards pro status by the end of the year. That's my goal so I have to be more diligent in my studies. If Hadia has another teacher training later in the year, I plan to go to it.
I wish I could gush and write more, but I have to get some sleep. This month is especially busy. If anyone is in the Tokyo area, please come on down to Mandir restaurant in Hamamatsucho on January 30th! I'm not the main dancer but I will be dancing two songs with a partner. Wish me luck! I gotta work hard!
