P.S. Yr 1s, i'm sorry but this is only open for yr 2s,3s and 4s. You guys will have your chance next year. Cheers! =)
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.
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!
Attire: Mufti (PE shirt and track pants)
Things to Bring: Stationery
If you wish to go for this course, please inform Brendan (sms: 96994677, email: tnbrendan@yahoo.com.sg) by 21 May 2011 (next Saturday). Do include your contact number and email in your sms/email.
Although the Mid-years are ongoing, let's take a little break to watch a little video :)
Illusion - A very cool bit of dance that I will be sharing with you today:
In this choreography, there are some bits and pieces of "ultra-fast motion/movement" which you may or may not have noticed. If you didn't really see, its fine, because it blends so well with the music that it may be hard to pick up the first time. In dance, to follow the fast beats, you don't have to make ultra big movements and make it so concise. Because the actions happen so fast, people will simply get the feeling that you hit every single fast beat, and then they'll all go WOW! The main thing is behind this ultra-fast movement is the STYLE in which you did the move and not the actual move.
An example I can give you to try is this: When you drink water, you may find yourself doing 3 simple actions:
1. Pick up the cup.
2. Pour water into the cup (using your other hand) 3. Bring the cup to your mouth.
4. Drink water.
If you make all these 4 steps into a dance move, make it sharp, maybe add a little bit of footwork here and there and do the 4 steps to a quick beat and you'll get something really cool.
Ok enough procrastinating, go back to your work. :)
Those people who have incomplete uniforms will also be excused from the contingent.
It is only counted as incomplete if you do not have: - Name Tag - Boots - Belt Buckle - Shirt / Pants / Belt - Beret* - Uniform Buttons
*People who are missing berets or uniform buttons please inform Colin by Tuesday. We may have stock of these items.
Take note that if you are only missing badges, you will still need to join the contingent.
For those who have already paid money for uniform parts earlier, we are still trying to get the items as Red Cross HQ has been busy with the relief efforts in Japan, and did not entertain the purchasing of uniform parts. Also, the uniform supplier has also changed. The year 1s have not received their uniforms too, so we expect that those of you that need new uniforms may only be able to get it at the same time as the year 1s. We will try and get your uniform parts ASAP.
