This is the moment when I'm free, doing nothing at home and too lazy to continue choreography of Twinkle Dreams. I was lying on the couch staring into blank space when suddenly images of my past 2 years of dancing and teaching come to my mind.

Just 2 years ago, we were just busy preparing for the Swan Lake concert. I had difficulty releveing on one leg. (Did my toe nails drop off or something?) HHB was practicing for her spanish dance on pointe. Now, If you ask both of us to do the dance again, I'm sure we would do better than 2 years ago. I recently saw some of them doing the Spanish dance again. I must say they were indeed much better than 2 years ago.

Then, I was performing in AJC Dance Alumni's concert. It was really nice experience because I received so many flowers and gifts from everybody! That was also one of the so many so many dance experiences that I had together with HHB.

After this came the PPAS performance, we did a dance on pointe and another modern tango. It was wonderful also, as everyone worked SO HARD for the performance. Everyone still remembered how HHB's skin came off almost everytime after tango practice... AND in that perfromance at least we can say we did a proper on pointe dance much better than SwanL days. Personal improvement gained!

A turning point came when we all broke off from Ms N. It was significant, each of us went on to a different teacher to persue our ballet due to differences in timing. I have not seen HHB dance for a long time and I do miss the times that we take classes together and when we gossip about everything before, after and even DURING the class.

Now, I have got some wishes to fulfil.
1) Get elementary
2) Get RAD inter
3) Dance in the same class as HHB again.
4) Do double pirouette PERFECTLY.
5) Balance on pointe in 5th for 5 minutes!

Okie... teaching now.
I started teaching rushing from tampines to Jurong east every sunday after Jazz rehearsal. Do you think its fate? I keep getting wonderful students in JE (so far away) from home. Initially I had the intention to stop JE after gaining more classes in other Crestar branches nearer to home. But the moment I saw Ann, Annika, Louisa, Reina and some others, I knew I will stay. They were so cute and adorable and they have strong legs! They could do their pointing with so much stability. Then at the beginning of this year, I have another talented student - Kai Hui joining the class. I hope they do really well in the exams just like their "seniors". hahahaha


This is Kaihui!

Then came Valerie, Yi Ching, Yi Ting, Joyce, Jia Ying and Shina. They were my pioneer batch of exam girls. Val was really terrible when she first joined. Her knees were strange and she didn't seem to have any strength in her legs. A miracle happened as she attended more and more classes. She got her strength and nice dance sense. She actually become graceful! And thanks to the help of many people on the exam day - HHB, Sharon and Darling! Everything went on smoothly and I got what I hoped for. I felt really blessed then. This whole class progresed really well together and I believe they have fun every Sunday. Now everyone is busy preparing for the Sept concert and I believe they are really enjoying themselves. I hope they can get good reviews in the upcomign concert, that they pass their exams with excellent results and more and more summer school scholarships. :)

After this class, a new bebe ballet class was set up! This is an amzing class as well. They are so well behaved and strong! NOw, they are graduating to pre-ballet. After this, more and more classes were started and generally, there will also be talented students in every class. I really enjoy teaching them every sunday. The only point when I feel exhausted was after I stepped out of the studio! :) Amazing!

Wishes for teaching:
1) 100% honours
2) Summer school scholarships in Level 2 (maybe in 2007)
3) I'm always able to inspire my students to greater heights. Just like Yaling is so inspiring to me.
4) To know exactly what I want and to teach in a more structured way.
5) I produce a world class ballerina 10-15 years down the road.
