Performance Accolades

On the weekend I had a dance performance. We just danced to one number, something recycled from a few years back. But no doubt this dance was one of the fastest ones I have choreographed. There seemed to be widespread appreciation for our performance.

The things that make a performer truly feel like they have done a good job are:

1. Self-satisfaction
2. Praise that seems genuine from other performers in the same or related area
3. Praise from the audience, where there are people who truly appreciate the type of performance.
4. People saying that the art form or what ever is performed should be pursued as a career.
5. People genuinely being upset for having missed out on the performance.

Surprisingly despite No1 being met, all the other criteria for our performance being a success were true! So the result from this, is a result from a suggestion of a fellow performer from interstate. I am going to start a dance school of my own, as well as a website (in the near future) for it. On that day and the subsequent day itself there were 5 people ready to join! So lets see how it goes! Here comes a step up in something I'm really passionate about! :-) I'm looking or rather thinking of possible names. If anyone has any suggestions, please do let me know!

Seeing the name of my blog you would expect to see at least one post on dance. So here comes the first.

Dance & Music are two things which can really reach a person's soul. They are expressions of feelings which convey so much in the most discrete way possible. When I dance I feel like I have been carried away to another world without any worries. The feeling is unbelievable.

Dancing has components of many things such as yoga, acting, exercise, of course music and the list goes on. It is an art form that is so diverse and able to incorporate everything within it. Any type of dance can be performed to any type of music. Especially classical dances.

Classical dancing I feel is a step up from all other dance forms. It has complexities that other dance forms do not have. It requires official training and of course like any other dance form, natural grace and talent. It is the ability to expression any emotion that makes dance special, the factor which differentiates it from other art forms is that it is a dynamic representation of expression.

Those who dance and have found their passion for it are those who will truly enjoy doing it. I must not forget those who enjoy watching it even if they cannot dance, it is one thing to perform and enjoy and another thing to watch and enjoy. Both are blessings that we have recieved.

It is the finer things which makes life more enjoyable even in the toughest times.
