reminiscing competitive dancing

digging dancinglola's dancing dirt!

going through my archives and tracing my dancing history. started social dancing in late 2001, just a couple of months before leaving for vancouver. then stumbled my way to the ubc dance club in a desperate attempt to continue my passion for dancing.

found my first dance partner with whom i competed ONCE in the GALA BALL organised by UBCDC in March 2002. I gotta dig out the picture for posting.

took a couple of months' break right after that competition, and came back to singapore for holiday. returned to vancouver in august 2003, right at the end of the summer dance at robson square, and found another dance partner shortly after.

the picture below was taken at our first competition, which was the GRAND BALL organised by GB in November 2002.




GAH look at how disgusting my posture was!
