Hello Goodbye!

Also at the beginning of May, I had another chance to join Contemporary Workshop held by !nspyro Moves in Bandung. I had joined this workshop before and been attending ever since. I personally think that I need to gain more experience and knowledge by taking workshop from another dance creators, choreographers, and gurus to broaden my knowledge and let myself grow, as a dancer. In this workshop, I took 3 beginner classes of Ryan Man (O School Singapore), Arudhra Krisnaswamy (The Royal Dance of Singapore), and Jessica Christina (Bandung). Besides taking the classes, I also watched 'MOVES', a dance performance by Ryan Man, Clarice Ng, Arudhra Krisnaswamy, Olivia Wiguna, and Hari Gulur. I was in awe seeing them on stage dancing their own piece with their own style. Some dance colleagues I knew was asking why I took beginner classes instead of intermediate ones. It was because I felt the needs to learn from the basic because I was lack of basic ballet techniques. Hence, taking ...

I've never thought that traveling with my dance-floor mates would be this amazing. Special thanks to my dance guru who held her wedding reception in Bali. Because of her, we had a chance to take a break from the dancing routine and had a festive culinary sessions in the island of god: BALI! To be funny, we arrived in Bali in several different time because we had our own work to handle before starting of our holiday. I arrived in the middle of the night when three of my friends had been enjoying beaches for the day. Thankfully, one of them was still awake so I did not have to knock the door so hard to wake her. Although it was super late, Ipenk and I still shared stories of how she had a pleasure time breathing fresh air and seeing blue seas and skies while I had a rough time managing my time to get to the airport in time. Nevertheless, we were so happy to be in the same island for that day. In the morning I took a breakfast with Ismu while waiting Thre to arrive and for Woro a...

Finally, one of my resolution for this year has succeeded! It was to be more productive in dancing. Last week, I have done my biggest performance in 2015 with all Speranza Dance Studio member. All the hard work we've put for the past year and half paid off. The performance was a big success. A lot of people (especially friends and families) really really love the performance. They said the story was original, the dances were amazing, the songs were great.  They were so happy to see their loved ones being on stage with enchanting costumes. I must say, Speranza has the most unified and solid team I've worked with. It's not that we had no flaws. We had, yet we managed to lessen them and work together on how to overcome the differences. And, I'm so grateful to be a part of this team. Since I haven't got the better version, I'm sharing you with the minimum resolution here. Gonna post more when I've got the better one. Enjoy! (Oh, I put up some of behind the s...

Hello. It's been a while. Now I'm back with a story about my dancing routine. Yep, as you may know already, I like to dance. So much. To be able to dance once or twice a week is such a blessing ( knowing that I live a super duper busy life everyday. I mean, who doesn't? Adding and emphasizing living as a Jakartans ). So I'm trying to keep dancing as my weekly routine. Our dance studio principal, Mrs. Jetty Maika, had released her first biography about ballet and her life at the beginning of last year. In conjunction with that, me and my dance soulmate were asked to perform and dance in the event. We danced lyrical jazz using Slow Me Down by Emmy Rossum, choreographed by Enrinia Tanod, The dance was about a person who was always chasing what she wants that she forgot how to enjoy life. When you are too busy going to work everyday, you tend to miss how beautiful the bright morning sky is, how refreshing the morning fresh air is, and how kind was the driver of public tr...
