My Experience 3

The experience of being a dancer

I am join as a dancer when I’m 18 years old. This may arguably be late, because it's supposed to learn to dance since childhood. Because I am interested in all the arts of dance then I followed a dance studio in TMII. I know this studio from my mother. It used to be my mother never taught a dance to show seal Bunaken in North Sulawesi, precisely in Manado. Then I was introduced by a dance teacher who once taught my mother. Initially I was invited to the dance training. I asked to see how the training of a dancer. The first time I saw immediately the spirit and can not wait to join in this studio. In this workshop not only teaches teen dancers, but also the little dancer.

Early exercise my body still feels stiff. Not as flexible as the other dancers. I did not despair, I diligently exercise each week. Does not feel I had 2 months to follow dance exercise. My initial dance performances are held in the palace of the children. At that time I brought the piece Sriwijaya dance originating from southern Sumatra. For my first time performing in front of many people. Feeling nervous, tense, all the more so when've been on stage. With confidence I move my body follow the rhythm of music. As I am very proud of the Indonesian nation can preserve the culture of dance that is rarely preferred by teenagers.

After a few months I was getting mastered several types of dances. Like the saman dance, lenggang nyai, lenggang putri, Lenso dance, and sekapur sirih dance. There are so many lessons that I get in the studio. Not only learning, but the experience will not be forgotten. One of them is able to perform in the Tanah Airku theater when TMII birthday event. In addition I also appearing in four seasons hotel to fill the seminars. And no less memorable was performing in front of a cruise ship to welcome the tourists from various countries. Being a dancer is an experience not to be forgotten. We should be proud because they have an incredible culture compared with other countries.
