End of 2011 in Gegerkalong, Bandung I met her at the first at exercise classes of 'Jaipong'. I don't know her bt I have ever seen her before, as PK at my college. Sligthly acquainted, when came to 'saman' class it turns out she is a coach. Since then, our meetings intensity more often especially at the beginning of 2012. There was a 'Jaipong' Dance Competition and we elected to be participants to represent our college. Although at that time we did'nt won, but the experience makes us even more spirit practice to be better.
November 2012, I was officially inducted into the Dance Project Manager. For 'saman' class, I asked her be a real official coach because for 2 years before, she just as a 'helper' coach. I think no one is more appropriate to be a 'saman' coach except her. Since then, we're really became close friends. We train 'saman' together every week, sharing experiences, and our stories. Once upon a time, she was very angry with me but her anger only lasted one night because I realized that I was wrong and immediately apologized. Hope the problem isn't sustainable and don't interfere with our professionalism in 'saman'. Other than that, she's still active exercises in 'Tatra' class and had a competition 7th National Folklore Festival with me and some other friends in March 2013, to participate in this competition we practice every day. I still remember when she came from her internship and immediately joined the exercise. Hard exercise already, I apply from the beginning. As a coach, I put it in order to form a cohesive team and not embarrassing when we perform on stage later. I salute with her spirit want to learn and trying to catch the dance moves in between the busyness of her internship and 6th semester.
Early March 2013, she invited me to join a mass Aceh Dance Training named Piasan Nanggroe. The advantage of this is my networks become widespread and dreams to make 'saman' as the best increasingly real. Through Piasan Nanggroe, we know Nuzul and Bang Rachmat who have helped our 'saman' progress.
A lot of togetherness that I spent with her, too often to dance together. Beyond that we are also fairly close, telling each other one another. But that doesn't mean we fit outside in hahaha, yaaa some of her nature that I don't like and vice versa. No body's perfect, right?
Tuesday ago is the last day she trained us. Very sad indeed when she decides to quit coaching that has raised our name for 4 years. I personally really hope our new coach is not less great and even more superior to her in order to be able to further advance our 'saman'. She was our best coach which build our 'saman' from zero to up like this.
I want to apologize if for 3 years to know, I do many mistakes. Once again there is nobody perfect. Yea yesterday she asked me for criticism, you should know, there is no criticism for you, really. I think, everyone will say like this because it's your personality that makes us ( me especially ) feel comfortable to be around you. Thank you my sister, my friend , my companion in arms. Thank you for everything and happy birthday!
