The Happiness Challenge Talks
Choreographer and dancer Talitha De Decker
As founder of the dance school Movimento, choreographer and dancer, 29-year-old Talitha De Decker has only one goal: to make as many people as possible happy with dance. And she did the same in our The Happinss Challenge video! While her job normally takes her to the most surprising places, the lockdown briefly turned the world upside down. We talked to Talitha and looked back on her little happiness during the past period.
HOW DO YOU START YOUR YOUR DAY?
With a bad habit: snoozing. My boyfriend always jumps out of bed in the morning to make oatmeal for me. Then my day can really start and my morning mood is gone. HOW DO YOU START YOUR YOUR DAY?

I'm very curious. I want to try everything out, so I learn a lot, but that doesn't mean I'm good at everything. WHAT IS YOUR HIDDEN TALENT?

WHAT WOULD YOU EVER WANT TO LEARN?
Roller skates! I would also like to try aerial hope. In this sport a large hula hoop is hung in which acrobatic exercises are done. WHAT WOULD YOU EVER WANT TO LEARN?

WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY THESE DAYS?
My diary was empty from one day to the next! Still, I could do a lot for Movimento, my dance school. I had time to think thoroughly about what I want in the future, without having to worry about finances because I had saved a lot of money. Whether it's something small or big, a hobby or your profession... Having a passion and continuing to develop myself, that makes me happy. WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY THESE DAYS?

WHAT HAVE YOU YOU LEARNED THIS PASSED PERIOD?
I usually do a lot of modern dance. Due to the renovation of my own house I didn't have enough room for this now. I had wanted to learn tap dancing for a long time and now was the ideal moment! My boyfriend is familiar with rhythm as a composer and he just joined in. Super to be able to do that together! WHAT HAVE YOU YOU LEARNED THIS PASSED PERIOD?

HOW DO YOU MAKE OTHERS HAPPY?
I try to make people happy in different ways, but always with dance as a medium. That's what my dance school Movimento is all about: having a positive impact on people's lives. During lockdown a lot of dancers told me that they miss the school. So then you're doing well, I guess. It's about so much more than just that dance class, the social aspect is certainly not to be underestimated! I also like to focus on feel good performances, you dance to give the audience a nice evening. HOW DO YOU MAKE OTHERS HAPPY?

WHICH COLOURS WOULD WE FIND IN YOUR GARDEROBE?
A lot of black because it is easy to combine! In my latest purchases there are brighter prints and shades, like an ochre yellow suit. I also like to take some time in the morning to put together my outfit so that it suits my mood for the day! WHICH COLOURS WOULD WE FIND IN YOUR GARDEROBE?
