My First Encounter with African Culture - Music and Dance

    In 27th June,2012, all s5 students were having an activity which is about African’s music and dance. At first, I was uninterested since I’ve no idea what the activity would do I just felt very tired. However, I became enjoy participating in the activity. When we back school, we had a seat at the covered playground I thought many classmates were same with me, felt tired and sleepy, however when we noticed that a Negro who was going to be our teacher we became excited! We all focused on what he said and we followed the instructions which he gave us. I could totally felt his enthusiasm which was genuinely. He taught us some dance and songs which from African, we also played drum, which’s my first time to play drum that’s really fun! When we all played the drum trimly, the atmosphere was extremely great that’s not a few words can explain I could feel all of us were enjoy it, that’s awesome! Besides, some of our classmates, teachers also our principal were invited to perform dancing! I really admired who performed dancing in front of us, because facing so many people who need to have courage if I was invited , I don’t think I have enough courage to perform.

    This experience let me know more about African’s music and dance also the most important thing is that we should learn from the Negro teacher, although he didn’t say anything, we can feel his happiness and enthusiasm ,he always  smile and laugh, which completely infect everybody. We should always keep the mindset just like the teacher and enjoy our life.
