Night
of Dances – University Week 2014
A snap of an
arm there, a wave of a body here, and the crowd goes wild.
This University Week’s Night of Dances is certainly different than the last’s Intramurals. Last year, the participants used foreign music to move their body into, but this year, they used our very own Original Pilipino Music (OPM) songs. Not only that, but our participants managed to incorporate a story into the steps that certainly captured our attention until the very end of their performance.
It never
ceases to amaze us that whenever a song is interpreted, we not only hear the
message but we see it with our own eyes and the emotion goes somewhat deeper
into our core, all the more that the song is in Filipino. Therefore we can
relate to it more than the foreign songs we love because it is in our own
language.
Just like
when you say ‘I love you’ to another person. When you say ‘Mahal kita’ instead
of the usual ‘I love you’, it sounds more heartfelt and sincere.
Back to the
subject at hand, there were two types of dances that our participants
participated in. The lyrical pop dance, where they danced and interpreted the
song of their choice, and the Latin dance, where they showed that they can move
and groove even with heels and almost-no-rest type of competition. Kudos to the
ladies who wore killer heels while still managing to look graceful under the
pressure at their feet and thank you gentlemen for supporting our ladies all
the way.
As usual, the
colleges screamed their voice hoarse in cheering for their representatives and
clapped their hands whenever they did something splendid. We cannot stress the
word ‘support’ enough for these colleges. The judges must have felt their
rebounding energy too.
Like always,
we want the first place, but not everyone can fit in the platform.
