Eversince last month July, my office conducted Poco Poco dance classes every Tuesday and Wednesday from 6 pm to 7.30 pm. We have a male instructor teaching us.He is very skillful and cool.I was very excited because it happened that I just wanted to register dancing classes at Linda Jasmine dance studio in Ampang.So, my wish really came true.
The Poco-Poco is a popular line dance which originally comes from the Minahasa people in Sulawesi. The steps are said to originate from farming activities such as picking cloves, planting rice, hoeing the fields and peeling coconut fibre.
The Poco-poco dance become very popular throughout Indonesia a few years ago and has been integrated into aerobic classes and at dance schools throughout Indonesia. It has become one of many dances that young and old want to learn. Many organisations hold Poco-poco dance competitions and it is also a popular dance for celebrations such as weddings, birthdays and Independence Day.
At first, I really have no idea what this Poco-Poco dancing all about.But after attending several session, it is really mind blowing and fun.The song is similar to dangdut melody just like the one below.

The steps are quite challenging. But from my personal experience, you have to practice often then it will come to you naturally. The golden rule according to my instructur, you have to enjoy what you are doing. I found it to be one of the most effective remedy to release your stress. Apart from that by trying to memorize all the steps involve help you to focus better.
Even now without having a maid, I still make sure that I need to attend these poco-poco class at least once a week. You really sweat like crazy! It is a very good exerices to keep you fit and become more energetic hehe..
Puasa is just around the corner so we will continue these dance classes after Ramadan. I heard from my own instructor experience, he said that he lost nearly 20 kg after joining this poco-poco classes even much better than attending those fitness center or gym..Hmm his story really inspire me a lot. Hopefully even after puasa , I will still continue doing this..no angan-angan like mat jenin
