Maybelle Yeo

Maybelle loves a good laugh. She loves the varsity of life and the experience it has to offer. Maybelle ‘s laughter is a distinct trait amongst her peers. It is very easy to make her laugh. Generally her antics are hilarious and her friends can easily testify to that!

She relishes in extremely spicy food to the point of eating them like its candy… it’s a little exaggerating but that’s how her loved ones and friends would describe it.

All in all, Maybelle is a simple fun girl who is at times, wacky and unpredictable like the weather and occasionally confusing…

CONVERSATIONS WITH INSTRUCTOR

1.  Quickly recap the year for us, Maybelle.

It was rather fast paced with many activities/events happening simultaneously and consecutively.  For dance aspect, I felt that I have grown in terms of not only a dancer but as an instructor. Not only do you teach and put up choreography, managing the team of dancers proves to be challenging as well. I truly appreciate and treasure my dancers in moving forward with me for the past year.

2.  And whom do you treasure the most?

My mom.  Throughout my life, she has been my role model. Seeing her manage different roles in her life with passion and doing her best to give my siblings and family the best drives me to be a stronger and independent person in life and to be a person true to others and oneself.

3.  She sounds like a strong role model! What of dance then?

Dance to me is a freedom of expression. The versatility of it allows me to tap onto my varied emotions and fully express them out with the soul, body and mind. This sense of freedom gives me a sense of exhilaration for it gives character to the individual style.

Dance to me has also taught me to be disciplined and humble. There are many great talented dancers everywhere but what holds my respect is for one to keep the passion alive and to keep just learning and exploring, pushing beyond one’s limitations.
