Trademarks of a youth dancer

This was during training on 5th may. Instead of the usual warm ups and short routine, we sat on chairs and someone commented that it was like caregroup. Sure, we are a group that cares. We care more than just how long you can stay in a split (or if you can do one in the first place) or how many crunches you can do in a minute (though the more the merrier); in this team we care about your attitudes and other aspects of life too. After a time of testimony, I asked those present to pair up and answer the following question with a tableau (something like a freeze in a scene).

The question was: what do you think are/ should be the trademark of a youth dancer in Hope?

Humility (Matt 23:12)

Teamwork (Eccl 4:9-12)

Mutual support (similar to team work. I actually thought of 'encouragement' when I saw this picture.)

Stretching beyond limits (moving out of comfort zone)

Spiritual ('I will read my bible and pray': All Day by Hillsong United)

Visionary (Joel 2:28-29)

Touch from God (THIS also shows another trademark: creativity!)

Loving (Love God, love people - everything boils down to Matt 28:18-20)


Last but not least, Cool! (Afterall, we are reaching out to the youths! 1 Cor 9:20-23)

Just want to summarise it by quoting from Rick Warren, if we have the right attitude but no skills, that's sincere ineffectiveness; but if we have skills and not the right attitude, that's menace! Let's continue to grow in our skills and attitude.
