DANCE VIDEO OF THE WEEK 13

Hi all,

I vaguely recalled someone telling me during the dance workshop if they can “My heart will go on” for their PN dance item. Well, classical songs can be quite challenging to dance to u know. You rili nid to present and display the feel.

So, we have an example of Mike Song doing a solo to classical music.



Few things you should notice.

1. The awesome waving and isolation technique. This is call skills and it takes time to learn. Those who came for the workshop shld know abt this.

2. as always, notice how he hits the beat / lyrics / music, how nicely the moves fit the song. The idea is to have your moves “singing” the song

3. One thing which may be lacking in choreography is dynamism. It is important to engage your hands, legs, body and head to give yr moves variety.

Hope this serves as an enjoyment in the midst of the stress from MYCTs. (it is important to relax at times u noe)

Stay tune for DVOTW 14 :P

DANCE VIDEO OF THE WEEK 12

Hello everyone,

The Year 1s have just gotten back from the World Red Cross Day at Yio Chu Kang Secondary School, which I hope you've enjoyed. There was also a mass dance there, so to add on to the dance atmosphere, here's an insane combination between the S**t Kingz, Mariel Martin and Keone Madrid!

When I was watching this, I couldn't stop watching how they'd easily change their formations and do team-based moves. Formations and making your team movements will be one of the hardest things you will probably face, especially since you have so many people in the formations to move!

Also, you might want to check out how "weird" their song choice is, picking many slow songs and those songs that are probably far off from your typical listening genre. Slow songs and these "weird" genre music can be very difficult to dance with, so you need to know how to play with the beats and match it with your moves!

Remember that your MYCTs are coming up, so remember to study hard too!

This is a reminder. Tmr is WRCD, so do report to the Main Atrium at 12.40 pm in your school uniform.

DANCE VIDEO OF THE WEEK 11

Welcome back to DVOTW, In the past 10 episodes, you have seen:
Kyle Hanagami
Mike Song
Keone Madrid
Lyle Beniga
Mariel Martin
Shaun Evaristo
Choreo Cookies
S**t Kingz
Jabbawockeez and more

In this episode, we are gonna introduce you to Movement Lifestyle (ML).



The start of the dance performance is at 2:10, so if you dun wanna hear the emcee talk, jus skip

An interesting part is the freestyle section at 5:40. As u can see, each of them take turns to freestyle to a small part of the song. Even freestyling, u still have to hit the beat as you can see in the vid.

For those who went for the workshop, try to spot some of the techniques and style, things like milking, waving. Also see how natural they are even when walking or moving about.

Btw, ML has a cool hand sign (like our bring it on hand sign)

Movement IS a lifestyle... and stay tune for DVOTW 12.

On the side note, you can view all the DVOTW under the label 'smile'. Hope they give u new inspiration for your PN performance.

Funds collected from Newspaper Collection

Hi guys,

Good news! We collected $388.70 from Newspaper Collection this year, more than last year's $376. Although this falls a little short of our goal of $400, this is still a very good result as there was heavy construction and many units did not have newspaper for us to collect.

The funds will be donated to VWOs that we will be working with over the course of the year, which will be announced next semester.

Thank you!

DANCE VIDEO OF THE WEEK 10

Hey!

It's number 10! Can't believe we have come this far. Remember sometime back, we mentioned Shaun Evaristo? His moves are freaking @^&$%&#$!# smooth. Oops lol.



When dancing, what matters the most is your confidence. It affects directly how much you want to show to your audience. Of course, if you want to be as smooth as he is, you'll need some technique and a little bit of muscle. But all of these come naturally after some time.

MYCTs are nearing. Have you started? Muahahahahaha.

DANCE VIDEO OF THE WEEK 9

Hey!

Before Saturday ends, lets get down to DVOTW 9! America's Best Dance Crew. It was the first dance competition we were introduced to, but don't be too into the world of ABDC. Why? Because I myself used to think the JabbawockeeZ were the best dance crew in the whole world ever. But as I took notice of more competitions (especially the more underground ones), I realized there were many crews as synchronised as them. Not that they are bad though, they are far from it. Just stating that because ABDC is much more mainstream, people fall into the trap of taking the crews that compete as the only good ones. Which was why we started off with Kyle and Lyle, etc.



This is my favourite performance from them! And one of the best in the history of ABDC as rated by its creator, Randy Jackson. Oh, and season 6 is coming soon!
