Sec 2s, next year's your chance to go for this enriching experience too! Do look out for the opportunity!

DANCE VIDEO OF THE WEEK 19

Hey all,

On this special day, we bring to you a special video, from ABDC!!!.

We are featuring I.aM.mE once again, back with a very interesting choreography. If u have noticed the recent series of super hero movies (X-men, Green Lantern, Cap Am etc) this dance shld ring a bell.

Now let's welcome the super hero dance crew I.aM.mE !!!



If u watch, the solo freestyle is nonetheless amazing, but what is rili interesting is what the people at the side are doing when it is not their turn to solo.

Here is a tip for yr PN performance: minimise stoning time. Even if a select group of people are dancing, the rest shld still do something. It can be simple, repeated movements and steps or formation work like what u see in the vid.

Bet you enjoyed the vid. See u again in the nxt episode of DVOTW.

Venue: 2 Sengkang Squeare #05-01 (Beside Compass Point Shopping Centre)

DANCE VIDEO OF THE WEEK 18

Hey all,

Considering the number of people you have in your batch, I really advise you to work more on your formations rather than choreography itself; your steps can be a lot simpler, as long as you coordinate your steps and get the formation as clean and fluid as you can!

Here's a large team choreography from last years Body Rock dance competition (They won 3rd btw)

1. Take a look at the start; they did a lot of walking around and formation changing; Simple steps, lots of confidence and energy = good starting!

2. Level play - You just need to change the height of your moves to make it varied. Just by doing your moves at different levels can provide a variation to what the crowd will see! E.g. Some people do the moves while in a "proposing" manner, some at a half squat and the rest standing up. (or you can just make use of the natural order of life, from tall to tallest XD)

3. USE THE STAGE. The stage is big, so spread yourselves out or compact according to what you think suits the music; Spreading yourselves out will help make moves that are already big, BIGGER. Compacting yourselves will help make moves look more concentrated and help disguise mistakes.

4. USE THE STAGE. Try not to always use center focus, try to use some method to get everyone to look to the left of the stage or right of the stage every now and then :) it helps make people look around the stage instead of concentrating on the same spot every now and then.

Good luck for the interesting event in 21 days time! :D

CHIONG ARHHHHH! PN'2011

DANCE VIDEO OF THE WEEK 17

Hey all,

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we bring to u a delayed telecast of DVOTW 17.

As we draw closer to PN, do start meeting up for yr performance alr :P

We are featuring this crew for the first time : Prepix. Look out for their freestyling in the vid and see how they actually hit the beats and the sounds.



Just a small tip here for PN:
Everyone dun hav to perform throughout the whole performance.

You can hav various formations and stuff. You can also do wad Prepix did in the vid, like u start of with one person, and then add on the rest one by one.

See you next time in DVOTW 18!

DANCE VIDEO OF THE WEEK 16

Hey guys,

Hopefully for those who got disastrous results (like me), this will cheer you up.
A relatively new crew competing on a new season of America's Best Dance Crew, I.aM.mE. But these dancers aren't new to the dance scene at all, we have been seeing videos of them since 2009. 2 of their members, Moon and Pacman, are great tutters, so you can actually see elements of tutting (making 90-degree angles with your arms) in their performances.



In addition to moves that every member of a group does on his own, you could experiment with what we call "team moves", which involves the entire group getting together to achieve an intended effect. It could be a massive tutting sequence seen in the first few seconds of the performance above, or something else that, with a member not present, the move would not be possible. Team moves add something different to a dance, hence we try to include at least one in every.
This is why you guys should meet up more, freestyle to random music, learn more about each others' styles of dancing and make use of each other's strengths. Holidays are in a week's time, so unless you are down for intensives, start now (or after MM for year 2s)!

Also, whoever is in year 2 and 3 and is interested in joining Footdrill Competition (FDCOM) 2011, please email batch 59 at rircb59@googlegroups.com. Thank you!
And remember that normal trainings start on Monday!

Hi all,

Welcome back to DVOTW 15 : post-MYCT (and pre-PN) edition,
featuring Kyle Hanagami (yup long time no see since DVOTW 4) and The S**t Kingz.

For this choreo, focus on their ground movement and floor works, like how they dance lying down, and get up from the floor or go back down.

I know the yr 1s experimented with lying down during the workshop, so hope this gives u guys some inspiration for PN.



Yes, PN is round the corner. If u hav not started, it's time to get busy!
Your Performance ICs shld be keeping u updated on stuffs.

Stay tuned for the next episdoe of DVOTW, where your inspirations are :P
