MY PASSION IN DANCING

The purpose of writing this essay is to describe about my passion in dancing. Dance is a set of movements performed in different types of songs. There are various types of dances with different backgrounds and styles. For example, ballroom, latin, salsa, tap, ballet and such. As for me, I indulge in lyrical, hip hop, jazz and tap. I have been dancing since I was in Primary 3 and I danced professionally since I was in Form 2. I took dance classes in different dance schools and performed in numerous events. I started dancing for charity events. After all the hard work and effort in putting on a good show, I can say that it’s a breath taking feeling knowing that I have done good to people. In 2005, my dance group entered two dance competitions. One was held in Kelab Darul Ehsan and was organised by Form 5 students from Sri Bintang Utara. The other dance competition was organised by TV3, Lipton and Hitz.fm. This competition was nationwide. For the amateur competition, we managed to get first place and for the nationwide competition, we won first runner up. Since then, we have been getting paid for every performance we did. My dance group have performed in many major events such as annual dinners for big companies, ‘Juara Lagu’ and even ‘Akademi Fantasia’. I am currently a full time accounting student and a part-time freelance dancer. In conclusion, I would have to say that dancing is a beneficial sport. This passion I have for dancing not only keeps me fit and happy, it also enlightens my stress away for me to be able to maintain a 3.85 CGPA.
