the job of a teacher is not just hitting beats and reminding the students regarding steps in every class, proactive behaviour should be from both parties that each challenge the counterpart to desire more as well as give more..

to teach is not to demonstrate what has been previously acquired and then replay the pattern repeatedly to the successor, it is to analyse and offer relevant approaches for the students and then guide them to reach an end in their own ways..

the designation ‘dancer’ is not certified by grade A or a piece of certificate paper, it is the abilities that one carries in the body, physical competency at least, if not mental..

the most basic requirement of a dancer is not physical appearance, flexibility, techniques or having gone through dance classes or graduate course, it requires ultimate interest, passion and patience, not any less..

to progress is not to demand for easily achievable movements and accomplish as much as possible, it is to pursue a standard that is way beyond one’s current capability, no matter how far it seems..

to practice/training is not to push oneself into a formalised pattern but to allow ones to ‘communicate’ with the body, understand the boundaries and then go beyond them..

to perform is not just to represent what has been taught or created by others, it is also to show how these inputs have been fermented through performer’s body, enriched and unique in unduplicated way..

to learn is not to be able to do the setwork/combination of movements at the end of the class/semester, it is to go through the process of transforming information into something understandable, applicable and useful, at least for own self..
