Dance through time!!
Every year my daughter’s dance school has an annual show. It is normally in June but this year it was planned earlier and we were all happy for that. Eager to see the output after hours of training - everyone was ready for a show. The dance in the video above is called in dutch “2100 Toekomst” translated as “2100 Future”. It was my best attempt to record from far away in a full theatre.
Needless to say, I was very proud of my daughter and her teammates. Their "Future" dance was dramatic and invigorating and a part of this year's theme for the “Time Travel” performance.
There were approximately 400 people performing, starting from age 4 upwards. There are amateurs, semi-professionals and professionals - all dancing for fun. As there are so many performers there are always 2 shows. This year, the theater performances had more than 1300 friends and family in attendance.
A young dancer told the story of entering a peculiar looking structure out of curiousity. It was a time-machine in which she traveled to the past but later returned to the present. However, we also got a glimpse of growing older and the future as well.
All dances were based on various periods through the ages. The costumes, settings, music and dance were properly represented for each period.
Here is an excerpt of some of the settings of performances. Each dance told its own story; from the Roman times,
to the Middle Ages,
or the 1600 Dutch Golden Ages.
However time was swiftly passing by, so soon we were in the American wild west of the 1850s.
Then for the 1920’s, there was a "roaringly", fun and fitting dance.
We were reminded of the largest stock market crash of 1930,
and the sadness of war time during the early 1940’s.
It was Peace, Love and Disco in the 1970’s,
fitness in the 1980's and grunge in the 90’s.
We were all happy that we made it to Y2K - year 2000. Thereafter, the mobile phone era begun giving us many G’s for our smartphones in 2010.
2020 will be remembered with the socially distancing ballerinas who hugged at the end and threw away their masks.
2023 was very energetic and exciting with the dancers showing off the latest Tiktok trends.
We do not know what is in store for us beyond the present, but we enjoyed this cute robotic dance
and the teachers made old age look supple and energetic.
After the Future (dance video above), there was a grand finale where every group got a chance to show off additional coordination skills. Then they remained on stage for final parting words.
The sign in english behind the dancers read:
What the future will bring us,
No one can tell us yet
and so it may be best
To be accepting.
We are the future!
The audience cheered and screamed for the dancers. It was well deserved. We were also grateful to the dance school which brought the best out of the dancers. We were all proud of their efforts. It was a lovely afternoon and "time" well spent at the theater.
The video and photos are my own.

Thank you so much for your video of your daughters dance with her teammates! I just loved it and I love dance at my age. It keeps me fit. I danced for 22 years with the same dance school that allowed adults. I wanted to learn at 40 years old so I started then. I didn't learn when I was a kid. It did me a lot of good and taught me teamwork, respect, discipline, self respect, and it helped my self esteem too. I sure miss it. I had to stop a few years ago when I moved and there is nothing for adults here so I try to do some to YouTube Video classes at home in my tiny room 😆 How old is your daughter? Tell her she did awesome work from me! Dance is very good for all of us even us elderly folks and keeps us from getting too old. 😍 I love dance! I do ballet basic what I can in this small space. Thanks again this brings back many fond memories of the kids watching them dance. I loved being around younger kids! It was refreshing.

Many thanks for your thoughtful comment. Pity that you had to stop dancing with a group. You danced for a long time Barb - that is really special. Good that you can still dance at home though.
You are so right - dancing and most team activities have many positive attributes. My daughter is 15 years old - I am really proud of her and the team.
I am happy that this video brought back fond memories. Everyone seems to enjoy it. I hesitated with posting it as I did not have a great seat - so the quality is not the best. I will pass on the compliment. If you are interested in seeing her dance from last year - this is the video. Many thanks for the tips.
Aaaawww thank you so much @momogrow I am so happy you posted the dance!
Yes I wish I still had a place to dance at and maybe someday it will happen 😍
Don't ever hesitate to post a dance video again. I thought your video was fantastic!
I will check out your other video now.
You are most welcome for the tips.

Love the dance video...: Loved the sync, the movement and song! Look at the attendance and sequence of dance presentation from the medieval to future era. It was well presented. Proud of occasion like this. It was cinematic! You know occasion like this makes families and dancers involved fulfilled and happy. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed this one!
You are most welcome - I am glad you enjoyed it. The dance was indeed well sunchronised - I am so proud of the girls and the dance school. It was a lovely event and time well spent.
This was an amazing performance!!! I’m lost for words, really. This is the best dance I’ve seen in a while, and probably the best thing I’ll see today. Thanks for sharing.
Aww many thanks - I am so happy that I shared it. I am happy I made your day.
That's so cool! It reminds me of a video about the evolution of dancing. The dance was amazing. I didn't get the idea of 2100 Future. I read the dutch word as the almost o ly word o know in that language. Now, I get the concept.
I'm glad you took the opportunity to use 3speak to share the video on Hive. It was amazing. A very sci-fi style dance. I bet that's why I liked it a lot.
The cheering of the crowd at the end makes it sound like all attendees enjoyed a great show.
Many thanks @bertrayo - I was very proud of my daughter and her team. I am happy you enjoyed the dance and also understood the dutch.
Yes the sci-fi inspired dance was very interesting and made it fun. Thanks for the inspiration to use 3speaks - seeing your videos gave me the idea to try.
The audience was very appreciative and voiced it!! 😀
Hey, I'm glad to help. We should make use of all the resources available in this web 3 ecosystem.
The dance was really good. I'm glad you could record it and share it with us.
Now, this is an experience I wish I was a part of. I can imagine how exciting and entertaining it would have been for everyone, especially the performers. They all would have spent so much time practicing and all.
I very much enjoyed the performance of your daughter and her friends. I wish I could tell where she was in the crew.
You must have been so happy and proud of her. It is indeed an amazing performance.
Aww many thanks @olujay - they worked hard and performed well. They were excited before, during and after the show. It was a special evening out and we were all very happy and proud indeed. I am glad you enjoyed it as well.
I'd be glad to watch the dances in the future.
Indeed no one can predict the future but our choices can give a 50/50%chances of what the future will be
Indeed you are correct - we create our reality so we can have an idea.
Yah
Seeing your daughter doing what she loves to do is a beautiful thing

And seeing your daughter dancing is something pretty good I never expect less from her because she's just like Mama 🤗 beautiful and brilliant 😍.

The dance was thrilling and entertaining, I'd say. The correlation was very good.
Also, my mind actually went through time, trying to remember and relate to the various periods described in this post. I learned some things too. So, thanks for sharing the experience with us, your hive family.
Aww you are most welcome and thank you as well. It is great that I could take you along in "time" through these photos. It was an enjoyable event.
Funny enough I hand to watch the video more than once. I enjoyed every bit of it, every moment. I can relate to how happy you must have felt watching her perform life.
Mere looking at other pictures too. I could feel how interesting the show must have been. Good one here. So lovely 🥰
Aww - you watched the performance more than once - you can imagine that I did as well. Happy you enjoyed the post.
Happy to see energetic old people later on~ Dancing and singing will make them go through old age better.
The most dance I am interested in is "The stocks crash" theme. It sounds like, "No money? No problem. We can still be happy to dance and sing together"

Absolutely - money is a necessity but real happiness comes from within. Dancing is one sourse of joy and real expression.
The dance teachers were the ones dressed as old people. However you are right - fancing wil keep older folks flexible and active.
What an incredible time travel through these performances, going all tge way back to Roman and middle ages to the future.
Amd this must be a very proud moment for you as well. I really enjoyed the dance. Thanks for sharing. ❤️🔥
Many thanks @pravesh0 - I am happy you enjoyed the dance. Yes it was a very proud moment - my daughter's is the youngest in the group. The team and the other dancers entertain us very well on Sunday.
I like the wild west suits :)
Aww happy you do. It was not easy getting great photos from a distance but I tried to capture the idea.
