"Such we are made of, such we be."
- William Shakespeare
In a room during the auditions I was asked, “Why should I join cheerdance?” and I replied, “ I like it”, later on I learn to love it. I like it and I choose to be a part of it. Cheerdance is for the passionate, and such we are made of, we are made of passion and such we be, the manifestation of passion – cheerdance. The passion arouses us to become dreamers and dreamers had become the dancers striving for that dream. Yes, the dream was partly the glory, the trophy and the crowd’s applause, but what lies beneath is the dream to know ourselves. The identity that is longing to be found through the dance, and we dared to make it known in public, letting almost anybody in our way to know that we are searching for our identity, and that is to be free people. Free to enter the game, free to take everything whatever goes within our utmost capacities, free to show ourselves that we are free. Free people act through passions through which are the spontaneous aspects of man, they come unprecedented, unexpected, random, therefore free, and to act through it reflects its freedom to whatever we channel it into. Free because there is no just cause, not governed by reason for which it evaluates costs and benefits and therefore adheres the beneficiary. . . but no, reasonable as we are, we know the costs but free as we are we overcome it facing the adversities and turning them into springboards for the molding of ourselves – the character, discipline, skill, endurance, determination and many more. We are heroes, for we conquer odds, for we face them and turn them into the opportunity to mature ourselves again, the fire may burn us but eventually will harden the soft clay that we once were.
Lately, we gambled to endure the demands of B.R.I.G.H.T Academy. Yes, a week to practice with two routines with 3 – 4 minutes each. We started faulty and shaky, almost on the brink of uncertainty and cancellation, but it is the passion that ignites us to pursue that stage wherewith again . . . we show ourselves. An amazing attendance . . . and an amazing addition. Our light has captured the eyes of others that they as free men join in our endeavor and behold our family is getting bigger, extended and all the more . . . stronger. Though we may part in certain events but we had extend a sacred bond to others . . . that indeed we are a group that we show ourselves - freedom, and happily do they belong. The demand was high and we trembled knowing how limited we are but the hero in us emerged from the trial and here we are now basking the glory of our sweat, entertained the crowd but ultimately the hero in us made us to transcend obstacles, therefore transcending limits. We came, we danced and we conquered, setting high hopes for us to have the long arduous high way to be there. A high demand that stretched us, made us grow. We are capturing the seemingly impossible and lofty demand that made us strive more by breaking our spirits and sprouting anew a spirit more spirited through which we know of through our smiles and the crowd knew through our smiles. Aim high, strive harder. Perfection is a lofty quest; others had deemed it to be negative and decadent and far too dreaming with the stars because those who say so are incapable even at being even an inch away from perfection’s fingertips, but we who want to be perfect, we strive, killed our bodies in order to be approximately there, or even at most only an inch away from her fingertips. Follow the dream and let the magic conspires through our effort and make it into reality.
Dream on, and follow the ideal CAS CHEERDANCE TEAM and may the light illuminate more . . . .and soon we will be dancing with the stars among the heavens, forever enduring and will be always passionate, till the end of time. Time will be smiling at us, knowing that underneath her eternal wings there were happy and free people of Cheerdance. Let space and time collapse, let the world end, the universe erase in existence, but we shall forever remain dancing together, smiling at each other, a happy memory in the history of time eternity and maybe yet dancing in front of the Grand Ultimate Being. Smile cheerdance family. I love you all.
- happy holidays and happy new year. 2011 is the year. . . that we cheer. CHEERS!
