How it is to be a student and a dancer.

We all can relate to this, as a student and a dancer in my experience and I know as well as yours. It is very hard because we have a very complicated time, in the morning we go to school and after that, at night time we have a dance practice. It is very tiring but it can ease all the stress in the school because when you dance you will forget the school works for a while, but it is a must not forget the school works. You must work your obligations in school. Sometimes you are tired when getting up because of the hard training's, especially when your group is preparing for a big event. For me, it is very hard to be a dancer here in the Philippines, because we lack financial support. We are not in the middle-class people, some of us are. But we find ways because we dancers love performing we are like jesters for other people but we know in our mind and heart that we love what we do it doesn't matter what others call us.

Video by: Jorell Jao, performance was not the clean and sync, but the crowd has gone crazy. They feel our fighting spirit at this performance. You, what can you say about our performance? you can comment it below. Dancers are like nocturnal, it is because we are lively at night and tired at morning, we don't have regular vitamins and food supplements that we take every day except for the dancers who can afford to buy it. We only eat a lot of rice, that's what Filipino dancers are. As a student also we must aim to take high grades but let's all face the reality that if it's only a passing grade we all know that we are so happy with that. Dancing at night is a very strong stress reliever it can take all away what you feel inside because you express it by dancing. It is better than using the prohibited drugs and alcoholic drinks. I hope that dancers will be treated professionally and respectfully by others. Because every performance is a shed of sweat, blood, and hard work to give the audience a hell of a performance. Sorry for the word. That's what I experienced what dancers are like in also being a student.
