You can be better, if l am serious........
I supposed to be very busy today, luckily one of my private lesson was cancelled as that student was out station today, so, ha ha good for me, at least l can take a break. But no break also la, l have to do a lot of choreography recently.
Tomorrow l will start teaching zills [ finger cymbal ] in my belly dance 's advance class, l have many homeworks to do for that, zill is very difficult, we must first undersatnd the basic rhythm of belly dance's drum beat, then have to practise playing zills, then only coordinate dance steps with zills, this takes long time to practise. In fact l did not practise zills for quite sometimes already, have been busy with veil and drum solo, so l myself have to practise more for the class. Today after finished teaching at 5: 30pm, l started my own practice with zills, then at 8 : 40pm, l taught jazz class with an umbrella. [so my hands are numb now, somemore have to do typing , woo............]
Ha ha , yes , with umbrella, l started teaching classical jazz for Friday class , we use umbrella instead of stick. But before l started , l told students some skills of doing jazz. My students have no energy when doing the dance, they look weak. All these years, l could hardly find a student with energy, most of them are very soft, l hope l can give a little bit of my power to them, just don't understand why they can't put their energy in movements.I think this is because of our enviroment, we don't start dancing from young, our kids are too busy with all tution class, computer class,or music and drawing class, or what what talent class. They don't move !
Some of my children class ' parents treat dance class as something ' extra ' to their kids, they always stop coming for exam, for any schedule changed or for any reason. Basically, to them . dancing is something not important at all. Though the class is only one hour in a week, they will still stop dancing for whole year as they are in UPSR or PMR, funny right ?
If one of the students not perform good in exam, she might disappear from the class, because of this one hour dance class, she is not able to study hard for her exam ! Can you believe that ?
Many parents told me, dancing will not make money la, why waste time here ?
It is WRONG !
Dancing, will definately help the kids to boost their power of mental and physical. If a child is able to control his body, he is able to control his mind too. Many research have prooved that [please check from our 'dance classes 'on website ]. nowadays, most children are very lazy to move as they do not need to move. There are many over weight chidren, stiff children and pale children..........
Do you think they will definately make big money in the future?
Parents, dancing is good to your children, when they grow , they will appreaciate you of sending them to dance classes. Many of my adult dance class students told me : unfortunately their parents did not allow them to dance when they were young, it is regretful to them.
Don't wait until you cannot move, then only think of moving your body, it is too late..........
Of course if a child do not like dancing at all, we cannot force him. But at least we should cultivate his habit in exercising for his health, from young.
They are able to make big money only if they are healthy right ?
Come back to the topic of jazz. Many years ago, l had a pretty girl student- Kerry in jazz class. She was quite good in class as she could follow the steps, but she is too soft. She performed with us before, well , she looks pretty on stage but she just can't control her body properly. Few years ago, she left us as have to proceed studying in US.Last year. she came back. I knew she attended hip hop class in US, so two months ago, she started teaching American hip hop in Zero.[ I purposely put this name for her class so that students can differentiate her special style ]. Like a miracle, she is great nowadays, very powerful and has beautiful control of her body.
She told me, when she was in US, she was scolded seriously by her dance teacher due to her weakness in energy . American dance from young, they have this enviroment so everybody is dancing. They are very energetic and dare to perform. So Kerry practised hard for her dance, and she did it !
From her, l see ' hopes ' in my dance classes' students. But l think l am too good to them, l did not scold them so they don't practise seriously for the dance, l should scold them like Kerry's dance teacher in US, so that they will not take advantage of me.[ ya lo, they always bully me as l am too friendly liao ! heh heh ! I want to revenge from tomorrow !]
Hmmmmm......students, be careful! l will put on my mask of fierce.......
Eh ! Please remind me if l forget to act serious ya !
