Singers usually steal the spotlight in a concert but we should not forget the important role played by the dancers. Dancers, dressed in colourful costumes, liven up a performance with their eye-catching routines.
Compared to the west, Hongkongers are less passionate about dance. Many learn ballet and Chinese dance as children, but local professional dancers are not treated with the respect they deserve.
We should not underestimate the challenges of being a dancer. Dancing is like any other career, and performers who want to reach the top have to work very hard. But the problem in Hong Kong is that it is difficult to make a living through dancing unless you have made a name for yourself.
We need to appreciate dancers who add glamour to stage shows. We should applaud them for their dedication.
