Dance, where this all started.

Random, so was discussing on FB with Carmen the day she started dance, and I realised I've never actually properly looked back to check what day I started (not like, ballet and school dance groups and all that, but like, the first day I walked into Dancekool and took Jaye's class. Where I was introduced to the world of street dance). It took me a long time, stalking old fb photos, went to my first blog where I vaguely remembered that I started blogging only a week or so before my first dance class.

And then I finally found it (there wasn't even a proper post cos I was tired/lazy on the actual day so it was in a recap haha). The magic date was:

Monday 22nd June 2009.

Wow thats crazy... When I think about it that was almost 4 years ago. Well now that I've committed the date to memory I can actually calculate it when ppl ask me how long I"ve been dancing, and also celebrate it if it's even special enough to haha:

Oh and just for fun, here's the section of the blogpost at the time, because revisiting my naive nooby old self is fun xD

"then me and Weelay went dance. so hungry we wanted something to eat. so we bought train tickets first to be sure...then SHIT! we onli had 55c xDDDD so we went to maccers and saw JOJO!^w^ wanted a discount but she was broke D; so we shared a soft serve xDDDDDDDDDDDDD and ate it with spoons. >w< must've looked reali awkward and weird, cos we were walking down george st while eating it xDDD.

so yeah, dance...one word...FAIL~! D; couldn't even find the place xDDD we were SO lost >< then we got there...and SO freaking intimidating D; all ppl such pros...and we were just like O_O yup (Y) we're...uh...new...so...O_O xDDD completely lost >< met a nice girl called trish (uni sudent) who helped us<33 even during warmup we were unco xDD then came the routine D; i was so hopeless. kept doing the wrong moves.

and since we starved ourselves being poor, i got home and STUFFD my face (Y) ^^"

Oh the younger me. And oh simpler times. Haha I think at the time I had no idea what stepping into those rundown stairs would mean for the next 4 years of my life (and counting). But for better or for worse, here I am now. And I guess, it's something in the end that defined/is defining a period of my life so it's definitely something worth revisiting. At least this time. :) Thank you Jo (Chen) for introducing me and Renee to DK and Jaye, thank you Jaye for being an inspiring teacher and introducing me to this world of dance, and thank you Renee for taking those first scary steps into this world with me.
