APAC Dance 2013


This post is a bit late, but I wanted to share some highlights from the 2013 APAC Dance Festival that was held at the Western Academy of Beijing.  This year the festival had the highest number of participating schools and students.  Every student demonstrated infectious energy and diligent work ethic.  Between rehearsals and workshops, each student danced for 6 hours straight for four days in a row.  Exhausting!! 

Professionally, this festival has reinforced my passion for working with artists, and creating art.  I absolutely loved working with the fusion groups.  The process and experience of improvisation and choreography built a solid foundation of trust, teamwork and synergy, which led to their truly unique and inspiring final product.

I'd like to extend a warm thank you to the WAB team again for hosting the APAC dance event this year. They all worked tirelessly to put on a great festival.  We look forward to next year's festival, to be held in Manila at Brent International School.  Until then, we'll keep practicing 'til we make perfect!

Namaste!

When you think you've reached your limits, think about this professional Chinese dancer who has only one arm!
