HOW IT ALL BEGAN :)

“Just dance!”

Simple, compassionate and gullible- these were just some of the adjectives that could best describe me. I may seem to be a trouble-free person but there is something bugging my mind and that is the desire to make use of my God-given talent through the art of dancing.

My eyes were further opened when I first saw C*CATT (Creative Communicators and Artists Talent Team) Street Elite Crew, the official dance troupe of the Miriam College Communication Department, groove in the First Year Orientation. I was stunned by the marvelous dance moves of the group and told myself that I will audition for I feel that it is the right time to venture into the field which has been part of my loves and dreams since I was young. I have been planning to join a dance club since high school however, that time; I don’t have enough bravery to try for auditions.

Just like in fairytales, it was dream come true when I finally passed the screening of the group. The first few days of trainings were a bit difficult but I managed to adjust and do my best during trainings and performances. We perform in school orientations, invitational guestings, street dance competitions (Skechers, ETC, RX), etc. Being part of C*CATT is something I am most passionate about. It has become a totally all-consuming passion. It has left me invigorated-physically and mentally. Night and day, I have the dance routines permanently pictured in my mind. C*CATT has given me something new that I could throw myself into. It is also an opportunity to know other dancers from other schools who are also trained under the same studio, the Orange Dance Studio in Pasig City. I get to know people from different walks of life who each have their own styles and sentiments when it comes to dancing.

I have reached this quite far and for that, I would like to extend my warmest gratitude to God, family and friends for being my powerful driving forces in pursuing my career as a dancer. I would also like to thank our choreographers, Nay Jen and Tay Dex for sharing with me their creative juices in dancing. And lastly, to my beloved C*CATT, let us keep on dancing until our bodies won’t let us anymore.
