Many of you may be wondering, in between shopping for vegetables and sightseeing like a devout tourist...what exactly does Courtney do in Singapore? I am here to answer all your questions and put an end to your hypothesizing!
Work has several different facets: on one occasion, it might involve (my personal favorite) of putting on my most joyous bright silly ridiculous self and dancing with the most adorable 4 year olds in a purple dance studio: Happy little girls wearing tutus and skipping around and calling me Miss Courtney and interrupting pointing and flexing our feet to tell me the most random and unrelated facts that have nothing to do with ballet yet I find rather amusing.
Work also can be the flip side which is a room full of 3 year-olds who are not cognitevely aware of much of anything yet, and who refuse to listen to a word I say and would rather hang upside down on the barres and pretend they are in a zoo....not so fun.
Work can also be serious- phone calls, registrations, emails, merchandise sales, etc etc
And finally, work is a source for creativity. With the Nutcracker coming up very soon here, I am choreographing on students of all ages and involved in most aspects of the production- scenery, music, props, etc etc
I teach during the week until 8 or 9pm. But at least I am in a dance studio- I'm not complaining!
The more you give, the more you receive, as the saying goes.
And of course, even with a "real" job, there is still plenty of time for my own dancing and personal endeavors. I am currently training in Classical Indian Dance with a company that merges contemporary and classical indian into one genre. After my first class, I could not walk or sit or squat or use the restroom for a week because I was so sore! This is intense!! So, you see, I am still finding as many opportunities for my own growth as well in the midst of a busy work life! TADA!
