フランシス先生です！！

Here’s her initial message:
先生から皆様へメッセージです！

Hello,

My name is Tracy Francis. I’m from Philippines and I grew up in Baguio City. Baguio name as the “Summer Capital of the Philippines” is one of the cleanest and greenest cities in the country. Baguio is one of the most visited tourist destination in Asia. Situated in the mountains of the Cordillera Region. Baguio is the place where you will enjoy the cool climate all year round. Baguio is made for sightseeing because of the attractive and lovely scenic views and a number of magnificent tourist attractions. Baguio is a perfect place to unwind yourself and is a perfect mountain retreat.

In the Philippines we have a different Language per city but the two most common languages were Tagalog and English.

In Japan I’d like to visit many famous places. I’ve noticed that the people here are kind and helpful, so I feel like I’m home even though I’m far away from my city. Also, the weather is the same.
I love dancing and teaching.

メッセージの最後にもありますが、フランシス先生はヒップホップダンスが得意で、本国フィリピンでは、チームダンスのリーダー兼振付師としてダンス大会に出場し、数々の賞に輝いた実績があります。
当スクールでも、英語でヒップホップ！　クラスを夏休みに開催することを企画中です！
次回のブログではヒップホップダンスのキャリアについて本人に語ってもらいますのでお楽しみに！！

Happy New Year!

New Year’s Day is one of the most celebrated, festive and busiest events of the year. Families and friends celebrate together and a variety of celebration is practiced worldwide. The idea of being away from family and friends on this day seems sad and devastating, but it can be the opposite. Experiencing and learning a new tradition can be fun, exciting, interesting and enlightening.

This year, I spent my New Year in Japan for the first time. I compared how different the tradition and practices were to the Philippines’. The journey of knowing these was nothing but enjoyable. I made a list of things to distinguish how the celebration in both countries differ. (Please see the list below.)

After the event, I came to realize that a few things were similar, but there were much more differences. In Japan, people commemorate New Year’s Day solemnly, quietly and in a more relaxed way, while in the Philippines, people welcome the new year with a ‘bang’. It’s all about loud noise that equates happiness. The louder, the better. The belief is a happy beginning means a happy year.
