Danza Libre

My bro shared this with the crew. Not sure how many of my readers are into dance, but even if you ain't - the concept isn't too hard to understand.

I love this piece!

Enuff said.

Yamaha X HR Crew

HR Crew inaugural public performance. Thanks Mingli for allowing us the opportunity to work with Yamaha. I would also like to congratulate HR Crew for having the first batch of male youths to invade the studio (which causes incessant outburst by the parents and school head).



And of course - our first project fund! Yay!

Human Revolution (Dance)

The lady in her 30s was a dancer and was trained as one since she was a little girl. Later she got into some kind of accident and lost her entire left arm. She was depressed for a few years. It seemed that someone asked her to coach a Children's dancing group. From that point on, she realized she could not forget dancing. She still loved to dance. She wanted to dance again. So she started to do some of her old routines. But by her losing an arm, she also lost her balance. It took a while before she could even making simple turns and spins without falling. Eventually she got it.

Then she heard some guy in his 20s had lost a leg in an accident.

This guy also fell into the usual denial, depression and anger type of emotional roller coaster. She looked him up (seemingly he was from a different Province) and persuaded him to dance with her. He had never danced. And to dance with one leg? Are you joking with me? No way.

But she didn't give up. He reluctantly agreed. " I have nothing else to do anyway." She started to teach him dancing 101. The two broke up a few times because the guy had no concept of using muscle, control his body, and a few other basic things about dancing. When she became frustrated and lost patience with him, he would walk out. Eventually they came back together
and started training. They hired a choreographer to design routines for them. She would fly high (held by him) with both arms (a sleeve for an arm) flying in the air. He could bend horizontally supported by one leg and she leaning on him, etc.

They danced beautifully and they legitimately beat others in the competition.



This is a classic example of Human Revolution - displaying the most artistic and beautiful expression of a human spirit, through a form called dance, not fettered by perceived unfair environment or circumstances and triumph over all difficult struggles.

Kherxin and I was talking the other day in some Bugis cafe and she was sharing the essence of why dancer dance?

'I danced because of dance itself.' (Quoted by this instructor whom I can't remember his name).

In midst of all that mundane distractions in our daily life, often, we find ourselves forgetting the original intention on why we even started dancing in the first place.

It's nothing else but simply because we like doing something we like to do. Period.

I think we need to fall back on our core every time when doubts or uncertainty surface occasionally.

It's the same for the identity of the group.

We need to be focus on why we even come together. Because only then - in perfect one mind - could we assist each other to achieve a common dream that we could possibly carry for eternity.

I was glad to be invited to the overnight Kenshu on Saturday until Sunday. Understanding the intense struggles that the pioneers fought with the organization during the earlier days in SSA, unconsciously made me linked back to something closer back home - the crew.

This is the time when things are beginning to take shape.

And the worst struggle have yet to come.

But we will surmount anything, collectively as one being.
