Making shots



April 1st started with a clear blue sky and a warm sunshine. I was not trying to fool anyone that day. Instead, as an event coordinator, my department was having a one-of-a-kind performance- The Night of Turkish. Planning for almost four months; practicing for about one and a half month. I chose dancing to represent myself.

I was inspired by Robert Muraine when senior high, and being captivated irresistibly in the realm of dance from then on. At first, I was a noob in doing this(well, still is lmao), but I ain’t quit, regardless of taunting from friends, sneering from upperclassmen, indifference from passersby, and even disapproval from parents, I gotta do what I gotta do, for it is what I’m fond of doing that counts.

Few years more roll by, from boos to nodding to amazement, how the audience act directly “reflect” the decent quality that you’ve made as well as your improvement. But actually the most important of all is that I feel confident and gay whenever I dance.



After all, I dance to express; not to impress.

 Though lots to be desired, I made some footnotes of my own life.

  1. To be honest, I have no idea about dancing, so I searched for “Robert Muraine” after reading your post. As I knew it in Chinese, I reminded of my classmate in senior high who also joined dancing club. I think this kind of dancing is cool, but I guess it is hard to learn because it need to move your whole body like a robert. By the way, I am look forward to watching such a cool show in our 教育之夜. Ha ha…

  2. I always appreciate dance performance though I don’t dance very well… Whenever I watch people dance, the dancers’ creative steps corresponded to the music beat just wow me. Last month, our department also held our “the night of___”. I was one of the behind-the-screen staffs at that time, so I got the closest view of every performance, including the dancing part. And I think the locking dance was the most brilliant part that night. Keep dance, and I believe you will wow more and more people.

  3. It is very important to follow your own heart, after all, no one can replace you and continue your life, only you can live for your life, accepts those constructive advice. Other craps just let them going with wind. In this world, always are some people will oppose whatever you want to do or to go, they always can find those why you should not do this. If you accept all of those, you will become not you, just a living doll, or a living dead.

  4. Dear Jeff Lee,
    I like the last sentence in your article strongly. When l saw it and the picture above, I almost can feel your passion and determination. Expressing and impressing, how similar and contradictious words they are! You are right. We do things just because we like and we want to enjoy the feeling as well as the process. It’s nothing with others’ thoughts. I’m happy that you finally success and receive the audiences’ applauses. And with my great admiration, I want to appreciate you to make me face my dream more bravely. Though there may be lots of difficulties, I believe I can defeat them each by each. Keep going without any regret.

  5. It's really difficult to prepare for a 'NIGHT'. Thank you for your performance to let me happy.=D Mirror is my best friend, because when I cry, it never laughs. I think it's really a sorrow and lonely sentence.
