Bailamos!

Dancing is something I love, something I love to perform in front of a lot of audience, I can never care who they would be. So, that's why I included it in my CAS plan. Something that I'm really into and of course it's something that I'm good at. 

According to my plan, I would participate in a dance class, so I participated the dance class that they have at the Malaysian Embassy. They do it every Friday at 5. So every Friday after school I would go to the Embassy and join them. Eventhough the people are only my mom's friends, I have a lot of fun dancing with them. Sometimes, I would be the teacher for them when they go really blank for a step, because nobody there is actually a professional dancer, everybody is teaching everybody basically. 

So, when first I participated, they were learning more steps for line dance, they really love line dance, I have no idea why, but probably because it's easy for them. Whenever they get stuck, I would have to teach them. I love teaching them, because they are fun. 

Another dance that we have been learning is Zumba. Zumba is a lot of fun because it's when you do the dance, you are also doing fitness. Getting fit is my first priority right now. I'm trying everything so that I can be fit. Thank goodness I love sports and also dancing. Especially when it's 2 in 1. That's Zumba. 

A way that we learn the dance moves are by watching videos on Youtube. It's interesting because we would choose a song that we want to dance Zumba on, and then, we would learn the steps from some videos and then, we would choose which steps we want to use. It's a lot of fun! 

The CAS learning outcomes that I achieved by participating in the dance class are:

• Increased my awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth, I still need to learn more steps for Zumba and other types of dancing, probably improving my skills on belly dance.
• Worked collaboratively with others, as I teach them something and they also teach me something that I have no idea on.
• Shown perseverance and commitment in my activities, I go to the embassy every Friday and still go there until now.
• Developed new skills, I learned a lot of new steps in when I was learning Zumba.
