DVOTW ∞

Hey hey hey!

Guess what's here!


Batch 62! The performance you guys put up was great for a first one. The choreography was awesome! Remain invincible, dudes!


The sec 2s were the cool dudes (with the exception of Samuel). Now you all know what terrible thing he did, watch it to find out lol, you'll know in a half a minute. You all showed a lot of emotion in the dance, and great improvisation there!

If you all want to see the rest of the videos, just finish watching one of them and click on the related videos. Or you can click the title to be directed to Youtube and then watch appropriately.

Do hope to see you again for PN'12, with more inspirational and interesting dances :P, and stay tuned for DVOTW 25.

By the way, we are TEAM 29 for FDCOM! Train hard guys! And good job to those who ran their fastest for the inter-UG track and field races!

DVOTW 24

Hey ppl,

Welcome back to DVOTW 24: post-CAC edition. This week's video will feature a choreography by Kyle Hanagami on the song "Save Your Goodbye" which is one of the songs used in CAC Dance.



One nice thing to take note is how they hit all the beats in the song, which is also called sense of rhythm. the beats in the music is not just the standard "12345678" but also the lyrics, melody, instrumental etc.

Btw, the singer for the song is Mike Posner, who has a female element in his voice. Yes, he is a man. His name is "Mike" duh. If u r curious, u can go search for some of his other songs heehee :P

For those who dun noe, results for CAC:

Drama - 3rd
Dance - 1st

Excellent work to all participants for the commendable results. Thanks all supporters too for staying all the way from morning to the evening and all others who contributed to the success :P (sounds Announcementish)

Stay tuned for more DVOTW.

DVOTW 23

Hey guys,

Welcome to a Special Edition of DVOTW! Special because it's...well...late. No, we haven't forgotten about the PN videos yet. They still need some time. Alright, if you haven't heard of Tony Transformer from Kaba Modern, here he is. He's known for his sick isolations and creativity. Just take a look at this video. You won't get tired of just one view, I promise.


Remember, when you thought you've hit a dead end when choreographing, look for the hidden possibilities. There are almost infinite ways to continue a move.
Oh, and evac silver accreds are just tomorrow. Good luck!

Evac Bronze Accreds Results + Evac Theory Test on Friday + additional info

Hey,

For those of you who took the evac bronze practical accreditations today...

Those who passed:
Brendon
Alfonse
Daniel
Jian Xing
Yue Howe
Rayner

Failed:
Jeremiah
Nirmeet

For those who passed, there's still theory and radio comm (awwww) so it's not time for celebration yet. And they will come quite soon. In fact, all of you listed above have to come down this Friday (15 July) for the evac bronze theory paper test. Meet at the Rajaratnam Block Foyer at 1.30pm sharp. It will be pretty quick if you pass on the first try, so do be punctual. For those who failed, you still have to come for the test, and don't be demoralised; it's just because you happened to not revise on the evac methods, so do yourself a favour and spend some time reading through your notes.

Also, those who have already passed evac bronze, your evac silver accreds will continue/start next Monday's training, so be prepared! After that you can proceed to take evac gold at the campsite when the Gold Modular Accreditations are here! How sweet is that?

DVOTW 22

Yo dudes!

Your dance videos are still in the process of being processed, so meanwhile, enjoy a dance video of our own unit from 3 years ago! That was when there existed a competition named Arts Festival (also formerly known as Talentime).



It's true that it cannot be compared to dances choreographed by professionals who do nothing but dance all day, everyday, but as a sec 1, I was thoroughly impressed (so much that I wanted to watch it again and again and even made the promise to join the dance cat when I turn sec 3). I won't try to point out any elements here (cos I'm not someone who enjoys doing that). So just try to appreciate this dance as a whole piece.
This is for dudes who think choreographing and performing a decent piece for PN was impossible. And here's wishing luck to ourselves that we'll enter the finals for all 3 categories of CAC!
[edit (oops)]
Results out on Tuesday *sweats* 
Tuesday, Tuesday, gotta get in on Tuesday. 

Oh by the way, Ardente photos are up!

DVOTW 21

Hi all,

U hav probably seen storyline choreographies, but we did not focus too much on it. simply, u r telling a story thru dance :P
While watching, see if u can pick out the msg from the dance



Some interesting things to note:
the use of props is amazing: notice how they manipulated the telephone wire. they entangle themselves and then untangle again IN THE SAME MANNER, AT THE SAME TIME!!

Another cool thing is how the two lead characters, Keone and Mari do not physically contact each other throughout the dance!! (except the front intro section.) It is intersting considering it has duet or pair dancing elements in it.

If u r wondering wad happen to the PN specials, we are still in the midst of getting the video done up, so do be a lil patient :P

Coming up soon DVOTW 22!

FYI. There is a prequel to this dance called "DAYDREAMER" also by the same choreographers .
