It was on the summer of 2015 when I started taking summer dance
workshops here Asia Pacific College. Before I took the summer dance workshop,
my life was boring. I expected my summer being with my closest cousins where go
to Beaches, Resorts, Hotels or just in our homes just to hangout but suddenly
that didn't happen. So I was thinking of in what way will I be productive this
summer. When I was browsing the net I saw this poster saying "free
workshops" and the first thing I saw was Dancing workshop I told myself
that it's been a while since I last dance my heart out. So I registered and
took the class. And ended u being the best performer in the category of ladies
hip-hop.
My parents and I started to decide that Asia Pacific College will
be my college school so that my brother and I will be in the same school. First
day of classes, I felt scared because I didn't know anyone that time and I
lived far away from this city. But luckily I found new friends in my
block section which is abma 151. And on the 4th week of classes, the school
held an event which is the org fair where all school organizations will get a
chance to get new recruits or members.
I was strolling around mph 2 (multi-purpose hall 2) with my
friend zar when I saw Asia Pacific College Dance Company's booth. He was
trying to convince me to take the auditions but I wasn't that confident yet.
Then some members of apcdc approached us and convinced me more. I was pressured
but I know deep within me I love it and I'm doing it.
No. 16 this was my auditionee number, I was with zar and
some friends when I took the first term auditions. It was nerve wracking and I
was shaking the whole time I can't even concentrate in my audition piece, I was
trying to look at the other auditionees they looked life pro's already
which is more pressurising. Then they called me and all of my nerves started to
explode. Upon entering the room there I saw all the dc members and looking
plain. If my body was still inside the room my soul just started running away.
Then my music plays. I started dancing some Matt Stefanina
choreography while dancing I added some facial expression to add up good review
to their coach. I lasted only 47s because their coach said to stop the music, I
was so scared. I thought of maybe they didn't like my dancing, maybe I was
trying to look stupid and other thoughts came to my mind. Coach Jap asked me
questions regarding the terms once I get a chance to pass this auditions. I
said yes and nod.
1 hours has passed then all the auditionees when back inside the
room to learn a choreography. I wasn't doing great I don't get it cause its to
fast and was really struggling hard. After they re-grouped us and let us dance
the new choreography and I didn't do very well. So I was thinking negative
outcomes already. But after all of the auditionees finished dancing they
already announced that I got in as a trainee. My heart was screaming, jumping,
rolling and etc. I felt very happy they told us that training will start a week
after. Going home with such happiness is worth remembering.
And now eighth months has passed I'm just not a trainee, I am now
officially a member and have already competed in 2 national dance competitions.
. It maybe tiring and exhausting but I
love what I'm doing. I love dancing. And this is I as a dancer.
