Went for Tarik's Urban dance class earlier at Melbourne SuperStudios (MSS). Wow. This chorey is definitely very different from what I'm used to. 

Everyone was simply amazing, utterly awe-inspiring. The chorey itself was beautiful. I definitely did not manage to pull it off as smoothly as everyone else, but wow. The energy, the emotions which everyone let flow out of them, the way how they immersed themselves into the dance.. that was beautiful. At one point I was this close to actually tearing up. Watching everyone dance at the end, when we were dancing in groups, made me realize that I still have a long, long way to go to be dancer, the person whom I strive to become. My eyes were definitely watering at a few points whilst watching, heck, even when I was dancing and immersing myself into the song and trying to embody the chorey, trying to make it 'my own' as Tarik said, I felt myself drowning in the emotions that the song brought out of me. 

I am definitely grateful and blessed to have been able to come to Melbourne to further my studies and dance. I've met such amazing people, friends, and the dancers. Wow. They are really on a different level. Not to say that the other dancers who I've met and danced with are bad, I mean that the feel, the way how they dance and portray themselves in the art feels so extremely different, it even compelled me to write a post on my blog which is definitely collecting dust since the last time I posted about it. I feel incredibly inspired and motivated by them, and it is people like them who remind me why I started to pursue dance as a hobby, they who remind me why I want to improve and make me strive to not just improve myself as a dancer, but as a person as well. 

For those who are interested, here's the song which we danced to earlier. 

P.S. to dancers in Melbourne who are interested in taking Tarik's classes, he teaches every Tuesday 8.30-9.30pm (Intermediate) at MSS, and Thursdays 7.30-9.30pm (Beginners 1 hour, Intermediate 1 hour) at Passion Studios.
