People often think that Saman dance is a piece of cake, but the fact is Saman needs high concentration, power, passion and also certainty. It may look easy, but it's a hard thing to do and it also needs lots of practice to make it look good.
In my school, Saman dance is an extracurricular lesson, but I don't join this extracurricular lesson just because it's an obligation. I join the Saman dance group because I love this dance and also I wanna be with other people who have the same passion with me.
Well, the point is, I love Saman dance and I wanna keep learning until I got a satisfying result (example: a trophy or a gold medal).
Let's jump to the main thing. Last Sunday, me and the other Saman dancers competed in Swiss German University Cup which was held at Cilandak Townsquare Sport Centre. It was our first competition. We were totally nervous the whole day, because we got strong opponents and they were all very good! Then we started comparing ourselves to our opponents. They were far more experienced than us. But, it was not the time to be down. We kept reminding ourselves to be confident and that we should do our best, no matter how good the opponents were. So, when we performed, we focused to the dance and we did a very good performance. We also got a huge applause that made me really proud of myself, though we didn't win and didn't get the prize, but, yes, we got a satisfying progress. I believe that me and the rest of the dancers can do a lot better next time! I won't give up and I will keep practicing because I know all of us have the potential.
So, here's a video of our last performance. Just in case ;)
