About

My name is JiaXuan. Most parts of this blog were written between 2010 and 2014. I was too busy running a dance production business Blackwinged Creatives¹ between 2015 and 2018, and changing careers to be a software developer in 2019. In 2020, I refreshed the blog in an attempt to pick up blogging (writing) again.

The best way to contact me is on Twitter @idanceinbetween. Here is what I want you to know about me:

• “My relationship with dance“
• “My name and why am I Chinese not Malay?“

And my favourite quote and north star:

We must travel in the direction of our fear.

John Berryman

1. I (used to) run a business called Jia Xuan Hon Ltd because I wanted the world to know how to pronounce my name. Nowadays And then I just call called it Blackwinged Creatives. And here’s a joke that a close friend used to say:

“Hey how do I know now whether I’m speaking to the person or the company? They have the same name?! I guess the company mostly replies in invoices.”
