I have always loved dancing, and even after graduating, I have continued practicing with the dedicated members of my former school club. Currently, we are working extremely hard for an upcoming stage performance in February. My primary dance genres are jazz and contemporary. I was first introduced to contemporary dance when I was a high school student, and it was an extraordinarily challenging experience for me. In our club, we created unique pieces based on complex themes, such as the famous artwork of Hokusai, the life cycle of silkworms, and creative performances using chairs as main props. During practice, I often cried not from physical injury, but from the deep personal struggle and intense frustration of trying to bring such abstract concepts to life through movement. However, I refused to give up and kept pushing forward every day. Overcoming those mental hurdles allowed me to greatly improve my technique and emotional expression, making me truly glad that I persevered.
