This blog was started, because I've come to realize that I've been telling my students a lot of things. Useful experience, lessons that I've learnt the hard way, etc. while teaching Salsa.

All those stuff were never properly recorded. I did write some articles but I guess they were lost in some obscure corner now.

Hopefully with this blog, .... those information/tips can be put to better use.

(also, please pardon my broken English / Singlish.... I prefer to be 'informal' when writing, hopefully people can still understand what I'll be writing. I hope none of these posts sound too obnoxious or arrogant. Do feel free to post your comments as well. :P)

Make best use of the system

Many a times, Singaporeans expect things to be spoon fed to them. A lot have the attitude that being paying customers, they deserve certain amount of 'service', etc. etc.

Well, it's not exactly wrong. And that is kind of expected in most places in the service industry.

BUT.....

In Xen, due to the way things are 'structured' (or 'unstructured' depending on how u look at it), some people could not get the kind of 'service' they expect, and often end up feeling unhappy or short changed.

Such a pity really.

The beauty of Xen's system is,.... it's up to one to use it to the fullest to push yourself as fast and as far as you can go (often beyond what you once thought was your limit).

Take the initiative. Don't wait for others to push you. If you have questions, ask the ever present instructors or senior fellow students. So much space, lots of nights with social practice opportunities,.... STAY AFTER CLASS and dance!

I see so many people disappear after class. Such a pity. When the facilities are there, and dance partners are there, they don't use it.

If you want to be a good dancer, you've gotta have passion and make it happen. Use the system and facilities in Xen to the fullest.
