On Saturday after the parade, the I Ho Chuan team performed a lion dance and demo at Rotary park. We have been working on our forms for just over 3 months now and have had to perform them in class but this was the first "performance".
This was the perfect place to do them as it most mostly just the team there with a few spectators. No pressure and just a lot of fun.
Leading up to the demo, I planned on performing the first form I practiced (I call it bench I) as that's what I have performed in class and so that's I decided I should do. I have been working on a longer, more elaborate form with my bench (Bench II) but have never "performed it" yet. 5 minutes before the demo I decided to do Bench II instead. This way, I could not talk myself out of it and what better place to try it out than there.
I was a bit nervous but made it through and now I will continue to work on making it better. Maybe soon I can add my flip that is supposed to start the form.
