Every May, elementary schools from across Yilan County gather to compete in various English activities. Every school that has a Fulbright ETA placed there is required to participate in at least two of the activities. These range from Vocabulary King to Reader’s Theatre (reading/acting in English) to Sing/Dance to Improv. Our school decided to participate in Vocabulary King and Sing/Dance…since my secondary job title is Dance Choreographer at my school.
Words can’t describe how proud I am of my students and how much of a high I am on right now. We actually pulled it off! The school-wide Christmas performance that we’ve been working on non-stop for one whole month is over and boy, was it an adventure! Each of the eighteen homeroom classes of students had to sing and dance to an English song of at least 3 minutes long. Of course, they also wore matching costumes, included crazy props, and the school hired a professional lighting company to come in and provide appropriate amounts of smoke, bubbles, and laser lights to add to the performance. I mean, obviously, what would an elementary school Christmas performance be without laser lights and bubbles?
Two weekends ago was our university’s Asian New Year Festival and I performed a hip hop dance with a bunch of my friends and helped to choreograph parts of it. 
I realized just how much I really love to dance and I think I’m going to try out [admittedly, for the second time] for the hip hop dance group next semester.
