Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally about what to do or what to believe. It includes the ability to engage in reflective and independent thinking. One of the aspects to be a critical thinker is by thinking outside of the box. After we apply this aspect in our task, we come out with two different shows. For show 1, we did the traditional dance performance which was Tarian Dikir Puteri. Some of the actual steps were being improvised and we also created some of new steps without loosed its authenticity. Next, for show 2, we present the zumba dance. Zumba dance is a fitness program that consist of modern dance.
Through these activities, we could learn how to appreciate our traditional culture. Our group dancing to the traditional dance for the first performance in order for us to learn and appreciate our traditional dance that slowly have been forgotten. More, other race could teach each other traditional culture through the performance. All of us can learn how to dancing the traditional dance in a short time. We also could know and learn about the traditional songs. Most of us does not know and forget the traditional songs. So, this performance is the perfect platform for us to reminisce our old memory or learn about it.
Next, for our second performance we dancing to the modern dance. From this, we could distinguish between traditional and modern culture. How the dance and songs have been changed. Other than that, the modern dance or Zumba also can be used as exercises. Because of our busy life, we often ignore the healthy life style. Through the dance, it could lead to the healthy life. While exercise, we also could enjoy and release our stress through the music.
In conclusion, it is importance for us as a folk to have a knowledge about our traditional culture but it is also must for us to have knowledge about the modern culture. We should have a balance knowledge and life style in our life.
