Today, we did initiatives during ji-he. Some went for ice skating, the others went for Hip Hop.
I went for Hip Hop and I must admit that the Hip Hop session with Mr. Daniel at the NTUC Trade Union house was a much more engaging and memorable one than I thought it would be. All of us were in high spirits and we totally forgot about being shy and just concentrated on how to master the dance moves. (Pics will be up another time cus Blogger has some problems)
First we did some stretching exercises like crunches, push ups and even zhan4 ma3! The crunches were really tiring for us as we felt the ache and stretch in our abs. We also had fun "exploring our head" as we moved our head front and back & left to right with just the neck while keeping our shoulders straight. We certainly had a good laugh!
Next, we started learning dance steps. Though the steps seemed rather challenging to us and we were even confused with some parts, they were said to be of a easy standard by Mr. Daniel.
After learning dance moves for 2 hours, we finally mastered a 3 minute dance(: We finally understood "Tai2 shang4 shi2 fen1 zhong1, Tai2 xia4 shi2 nian2 gong1"'s meaning.
After presenting our short dance to Miss Ngau, Mr. Daniel had a small talk with us. He told us that dance is not an easy activity and dancers would have to train like athletes as they must have a strong body to dance well and to attract the audience.
Life is full of ups and downs as well and we have to be strong and determined in order to emerge as winners. Similarly, if we pia our hardest,endure and do our very best, we would emerge as winners.
Remember, Champions are not those who never fail, but those who never quit!
