Access Life America Dance

Access life America dance

03/22/2018

Almost 5 months after the first GAMA dance, Fazal contacted me asking if I would be willing to do a dance for the access life America’s breast cancer awareness event. I didn't even think twice before I said yes as I knew this event would impact the life of many people and I wanted to be a part of it. We had to form a new group this time as many of the members from the last dance was not available. My brother also decided to join the dance group. After forming the group, we named or team ‘Team Xpresionz' because our main them was looking back into the past and we wanted to take the audience back to a time when the freedom of expression really began, and the people were free to express their talents and artistic ability. We started practice almost 6 months before the actual event as we wanted the make the dance as near to perfect as we can, and We knew that it was going to take some large physical work for everyone to perform with sync. But I was happy as there wasn't really any obstacles when we were practicing as everyone listened to other member's opinions and did not try to enforce their ideas on anyone. The main obstacle for me was the rapid costume changes we had to do in between each segment. We had to change an entire outfit in as little as 1 minute. When the day of the dance came, I was nervous that I would make able to change my outfit in such a limited time and I would make a mistake in front of the big crowd. We had practiced many times and we were able to do it every single time., but when the actual day of the event comes, the nervousness starts to build inside us, and we start to panic. But luckily, I was able to hold an outright panic indie till the end of the performance. It came as a huge relief to me when the performance ended. I thought I had committed two or three mistakes, but everything went well we have an amazing performance in front of the crowd. I was especially happy because I knew that was a part of a great cause that can help millions of people in the world.
