One day left until Prelude Urban Dance Competition Series
in Hayward. All these late night rehearsals, sleepless nights, worn out
bodies, aching muscles, and hard work will finally pay off. Countless
hours spent in the dance studio taking the time to perfect each detail
for our set. I really could not be anymore thankful, blessed, and proud
to be in Press Play let alone call them my second family.
There is just something different about this performance (personally).
It's not just any other show. We've done many big shows together, but
something about this one really makes me want to leave my heart on that
stage. It's been a challenging year; not only for me, but also for our
group. With all the losses and having to adapt to all the challenges
being thrown at us simultaneously, we've managed to stay solid - never
forgetting our roots, and always remembering why "we do what we love and
love what we do". None of this would be possible without the
One who gave us the gift of dance in the first place. For that, I'm so thankful.
This Saturday, I've decided to dedicate my parts of this set to my mom.
With her one year anniversary coming up on November 21, it would only
be right to. Without her support, her encouragement, her willingness to
give, I would not be where I'm at - let alone dancing on that stage this
weekend. From day one at age 14, she signed me up for classes with Jason Magsuci
and since then, I've never stopped dancing. My curiosity grew. And that
curiosity led me to Press PLAY. From her willingness to pay for monthly
tuition, to letting me stay out late for rehearsal all throughout high
school, watching my performances, supporting me in all that I did with
Press PLAY, I know I'm beyond blessed. Ready to share this talent with
those who are willing to watch. And I know I wouldn't have been here if
it weren't for my Proverbs 31 woman.
At a young age, God gave
me an amazing opportunity to enter a world full of different people that
I've grown to love. From the start, to us - and even to my mom - Press
PLAY didn't offer just dance training. It came with a strong leadership,
a focused mindset, an endless imagination, members who were (and still
are) willing to learn, and enough chemistry, work ethic, and support to
keep going for a long ways to come... It never stops here.
Words can't even begin to explain, so I'll show you through movement instead... G.U.I.DANCE (God, U, and I DANCE)
"You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.." ~Psalm 30:11
