i am happy because i dance.
"I AM A DANCER
I am a dancer.
I feel pain and fear.
I feel defeat and failure.
Yet, I keep going.
I smile, I practice, I perform.
I have grace and beauty.
I do not dance because I am happy,
I am happy because I dance.
I hear the applause.
I perform and do my best.
Sometimes I fail.
I don't give up.
For I am a dancer.
I am brave and strong.
I dance not for fame and glory.
But for how I feel inside.
I am happiness, joy, love, and excitement.
Strife, talent, joy.
Determination and beauty.
I am a dancer.
I am, therefore iDance. "

Wednesday was my Indian Dance farewell party, about a month late because things got all crazy after Sangamam. It was simple, sweet, and a whole lot of fun. It got off to a great start for me by the simple fact that I went to Manna Cafe with Shal and we ate waffles and indulged in buttery goodness happily because it's just been so weird to have spent so much time with her in May but almost never seen her in June or July. Catching up with her was nice, and she's someone i really like talking to, and i kind of missed that. The farewell was fun, there were waterballoon fights involved, and funky videos and lots and lots of dancing and photo taking, and while i feel like i have a lot to say, let's get things off this weekend with some pictures,
that's my lovely indian dance group, and i guess while we're on the topic of dance and school, i could put this here as well! i mentioned a while back that we had photos taken for our theatre studies individual pieces and group pieces, and since my piece involved indian dance, they kind of go in line with this entry too. my group pictures are somewhat cool looking but i really can't find the energy to upload them and things. i hope this is somewhat cool, though:
so dance group photo and my dance photos. i hardly ever look good in my dance photos and i always feel like my emotions aren't quite right, but this time round i think they're somewhat there for once, which makes me happy. seeing these photos make me miss my indiv piece already. I hope I did well on it:)
It's a little crazy how dance owns this huge chunk of my life. I honestly don't know what I'd do if I had to stop, or what kind of a person I'd be if I didn't dance. So yeah, when my juniors had that little poem-type thing in our farewell video, i couldn't help but feel greatly for the lines "I do not dance because I am happy, I am happy because I dance." Because that's true. Very Muchly.
