Step Up..
If u need an impetus to learn dancing, watch this show. Other good shows recommended will be "Save the Last Dance" and "Rent".
Despite the easily anticipated storyline, I give it 3.75 overall for entertainment, and
4.5 for the incredibly snazzy dance moves. The blend of ballet and street hip-hop conjures enchanting moves enough to dazzle yr eyes and stare in awe. For the viewers who love to ogle at other people, the leads in this film suffice as eye candy. The camaraderie in their dance was fabulous. Kudos to the choreographers. I must admit I was so fascinated by dancing then that I wanted to just sign up for dance class immediately.
However I must say this sudden interest in dancing is no temperamental fever, it is an etched interest in me. I hope one day I can learn dancing with friends who are interested to join me. Dancing can be an affinity too, as seen in the movie. Who knows what other gems one can uncover in their dance endeavours.
Also a subtle intention I discovered in the movie: Everyone deserves a second chance if effort is shown.
It may not be the scriptwriter's intention but it strengthens my belief that if effort is put into rehabilitation and reform, second chances shld not be denied from the sinner.
Take for example the Yellow Ribbon project. Consider the need for it. If we SGpoereans need such reminders from the govt, what does it reflect on our moral acceptance and altruism? Are offenders banished to stigma indefinitely? The stigma of being irresponsible and troublemaking.
We have too many invisible barriers in our society. I speak as a heartlander. Collapse the borders. Education and wealth disparities should not be the impediment to a holistic harmonious society.
Before I sound like I am sermonising, I better end this. I did tell myself that if I ever set up a firm, I will hire as many ex-offenders and the physically/mentally challenged as possible. I know that entrepreneurship is never in my future but for all you entrepreneur-wannabes out there, the choice is yours. Take it or leave it, the hammer in destroying the invisible borders is in our hands.

Dude. I think you should totally set up a firm. We need more people like you in the corporate world!
When are you going to sign up for dancing lessons? I think you mentioned that it's one of your post-NS plans. :D
