Thai Pop Dance: Songkran Ceremony

1) Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth

5) Demonstrate the skills and recognise the benefits of working collaboratively

On March 31st, 2023, I performed Thai Pop dance during the Songkran ceremony. Many high school students joined the dance performance to the song "รอไร".  I'm a person who enjoys dancing but this was a new experience as it was my first time dancing to a Thai song. The dance movements and styles were a little bit different from the dances I usually learn. I joined practices for two weeks with my classmates during study halls and after school. It was fun to practice and match the dance movements with my friends. 

We taught each other the dance movements and worked collaboratively. The parts when we did freestyle dance and cheer for the solo dancers were the exciting parts. On the Songkran day, we performed well without major mistakes. It was a meaningful experience to gain international mindedness as I could engage in Thai culture more deeply by listening to a Thai pop song and learning the dance. Also, it was a fun and great opportunity to exercise by doing one of my hobbies.
