I am a dancer. Yes I am, a theater performer to be exact, I have been performing for 6 months now and I know my bones are a bit mature for this latest routine I have embraced for these last months, but I’m loving the show every week. I can still remember and it seems like yesterday, I was just another crowd to watch how those performers moved gracefully on stage. Commonly, when I initiate to reveal this entertaining portion of my life, people tend to think naughty things, hahaha! I’m puzzled. I know for a fact that it’s not usual to have this kind of customary obligation; yes I am certain this is my obligation. And I am happy to have this in my life.
As scheduled we are practicing once or twice a week, depends on how hectic or easeful our working calendar. We usually have done it in the evening, my place here in Sharjah or theirs in Dubai. Since I’m on my training period, they (tutor) are obliged to teach me at a very slow pace knowing that I have never danced the song before. I was ought to watch the tutorial videos prior to our practice schedule, I must familiarize the lyrics of the song, the beats of the drum and other musical instruments because it will convey messages and signals to me. At first, when watching the video, the steps are pretty easy, workable for me but as soon as I try to do it myself, I ended up frustrated and depressed. I’m not a visual intelligent; my learning capacity requires someone to show me how to do it personally, physically. I can’t rely on self-understanding.
I dance for Church programs; we start the occasion with songs of praise to God, together with our chorale, we give our best, devoted our time, exert our efforts and harmoniously perform the melody in accord to our body movements and instrumental concords. We dedicate these performances to Him, just to show how thankful we are for all His loving kindness and unspeakable gifts.
This coming weekend I will be away from EC, there is a big event happening I will be there. I will be missing the fun of EC’s word games, the conversation with different people from all walks of life and the never-ending joy of reading member’s blogs.
This is just my way to tell about myself, how I live my life ( I know it’s not as valuable and amusing than others' lives here and it will never equal ) and as always it’s my delight to share part of my “book” here in EC, hope to read other members “book” in the future.
Take care all and God bless.

Well Risty, your blog is very long, I am afraid i didn't read it all. Just kidding^^
I read it all and wish you the best in your performance, please take care of yourself, ok?!
To be honest your blog tittle is very nice and it's tingling my mind, hehe... remind me of sema, sufi's dance in the form of whirling dervises. Anyway, The 'moves' to praise must be awesome ones. Good job!
Dear Shoba thank you, would you like to see the scene of our event? Yes, I will give my best! A smile from here for you. God bless
Good luck with the event you have this weekend, dear Risty. Dance like no one is watching you and have fun. I love dancers and have great admiration for them. :)
Dear Mishaikh,you cannot measure how happy I am that you see this blog lovely yet simple. The feeling is mutual, I'm seeing this lovely, the music and the rhythm are the best.Thanks for dropping by here. God bless!
by the way, these videos are allowed to share by our Church so sharing these will not put me in jail. A smile from here!

As for this;

Like what I’ve said “I know”, I feel sorry that I created some confusion or did I conveyed my thought in quite off-tone. I don’t have even the slightest idea to offend or annoy someone. (But of course, Ms. Eva’s comments, as well as yours, are both constructive in nature of criticism)
But looking into the bright side, that statement was very inviting, though I did not intend to invite annoyance.
Through that, I get to know members in a deep manner.
Indeed, Religion is a very private thing however for me that privacy doesn’t mean that it prevents us to share and to tackle it in public. (opinion only, not a general truth)
Thank you so much NotAClue, you encouraged me to create more authentic blogs in the future and looking forward to seeing your comments there.
If this could be of any consolation, even if I’m not proud of myself, yet I’m proud to be a servant of God and I’m very proud of my God.
And thank you for enduring my difficult English, I “know” it was hard to endure… hahaha… (I’m suffering from this too…hahaha, thanks to EC)
God bless!

This is from you Risty. How lovely, how simple.
Thank you Eva for all your support and confidence you are transmitting to me. I will pray to God to bless you more. Sending my hugs to you.
