Hello everyone!!!

Hope you all had had a great rest despite the cramming workload... :)

As we come back to school on Monday, we'll be having our last week of dance sessions before we take a break to study and cram for the upcoming exams and assignments...

Here are the details:

Monday, 2nd November, Carol's Session @ NIE Cardio Room
6.30 - 8.00 pm
Remember last week's choreo on R&B style of "I Hate Myself" by Drunken Tiger? Carol will be reusing that choreo and possibly adding some variations to it! Practice on the moves again to refresh you memory..

If you weren't here last week, it's alright! Just come along and learn this week! :)

Everyone can come by to the Cardio Room earlier, at 6pm, to run through the dance steps again together! :)

Wednesday, 4th November, Beginners' Class @ NIE Dance Room
6.30 - 8.15 pm
We'll be having our beginners' class on Wednesday again, marking the end of our sessions before the start of our study break. As for who'll be leading the session this week, we'll let you know in a bit, after we've confirmed it! :)

Let's end the semester of school with a great session of dance, and pep ourselves up to face the challenges of the exams and assignments. We can do this! Remember the quote, "what don't kill me, only makes me stronger". ;)

Thanks for the support from all those who'd come to the Halloween Outing to the Night Safari last night! Despite the rain, I hope you all had enjoyed yourselves. For those who missed it, it's alright! I'll blog about the event soon for you to know what was up for the night. And remember there's more to look forward to.. the chalet in December! :)

For now, take care y'all, and I'll see you on Monday! :)

All the best in working hard towards success... You can do it, DanceFuzion!!

Hey everyone!!

I hope you all had enjoyed yesterday's session with Carol! Remember to practice when you have the spare time, maybe practice that groove while you're studying, resting, watching TV, or even the shower... Dance knows no limits yeah

Anyway, hope you had a good rest today because we'll be having our Beginners' Class again tomorrow (that's Wednesday!)

Beginners' Class on 28th Oct (Wednesday), 6.30-8.15pm @ NIE Dance Room
This week, we'll be led by our very own DF member, IDIL!
He'll be teaching us some basics of Reggae! That's probably something new to most of us, and definitely fun and worth learning. Come on over, have a break and relieve some of that stress that's building up from studying.. Everyone is welcome!

And here's a real treat for all of you!

Tomorrow, the TTC will be having their TTC HAPPY HOUR!

Have you heard??

DF will be having an outing to the NIGHT SAFARI on Friday 30th October to celebrate Halloween ;)

The main objective is simply for everyone to bond together and, of course, to have fun! :)

Here are the details:

Although the night safari opens at 7.30pm, we will be meeting at 5.30pm at the main entrance. Each person should need to bring at least $35, which will cover for the admission fee plus train of terror ride.

And, feel free to dress up - spook someone out! or dress up nicely.. :) it's up to you and your creativity! And you won't be the only one dressing up, no worries... ;)

If you would like to come for the outing, you can let our secretary, Mei Ling, know while marking your attendance at dance tomorrow. Alternatively, you can also reply to our welfare manager Joanne's email regarding the outing.

Check it out and have a brief idea of what will be on for that night?

And just to re-update about DF Chalet this coming December...

DF will be having a chalet this coming December from 15-17 December @ Aloha Loyang Garden Terrace, and we'll be having the barbeque pit burning on the second night, that's 16th Dec. Try to at least come for the BBQ ya? It'll be fun! :)

The cost each person will have to pay will depend on the number of days you'll be staying for (overnight for 1 night, 2 nights, or just here for the bbq) and the number of people who'll be going! So try to get all your DF friends to come and just enjoy the holidays together!

So if you already know whether you can make it, and which days you will be staying, please reply to Joanne's email, specifying the days on which you will be there! It's okay if you are still unsure, just keep us updated about your plans when confirmed :)

For other events DF is involved in, ranging from practices, performances and outings, you may click on the "Events" tab above! It has been and will be frequently updated! :)

That's all!! By the way, scroll down for to see another new post on updates for this week's practices! :)

Hello all of DF!

Firstly, my sincere apologies for posting up the updates so late this week!

Let me dive right into the details before taking even longer to post this update up...

Carol's session as usual on Monday 26th October 2009, 6.30 - 8.00pm, at NIE Cardio Room (NIE Block 5 Level 2)

Yep! After the break from Carol's session last week for the Deepavali festivities, Carol's session resumes tomorrow!

Just try to recall the previous choreos of Ring-a-ling and maybe even Immabe! But if you have forgotten some steps or haven't learnt it, no worries! We can always run through it together again. The most important thing is... COME and ENJOY!

As for those who are performing for the TTC Happy Hour this coming Wednesday, please stay back for practice after Carol's sesssion!

Wednesday 28th October - we have Idil's Session!

6.30 - 8.15 pm @ NIE Dance Room (which is just beside the NIE Cardio Room)

We continue to have our weekly Wednesday beginners' classes... this week, our own DF member, Idil, will be teaching us some basics of REGGAE! Wow, something new for some of us... Let's seize this opportunity to learn some new styles of dance...

Both sessions will be fun and sure to be a great way of letting out the tension that's building up from assignments, deadlines and exam fever.. but stay strong everyone!

And again, for both sessions... EVERYONE IS WELCOME

Looking forward to see you all again! Good night!

Hey everyone!

I hope everyone who came today for Elson's Class had thoroughly enjoyed the two choreos he taught us today! And hope you felt that every single muscle is exercised =)

The choreos Elson taught us today was slightly above the level for beginners', so don't worry if you cannot get it yet, just keep practicing and enjoy the dance! And of course, give yourself a big pat on the back for all your efforts! =)

And as promised, here are the songs used in today's choreos:

First Choreo (Groove and Freestyle)

- I Can Transform Ya by Chris Brown featuring Lil Wayne

Second Choreo (Lyrical)

- Dead and Gone by Justin Timberlake featuring T.I.

Yup! Do continue to practice, remember, practice makes perfect. For the song Dead and Gone, remember what Elson had said: Try to keep counting!

Till Carol's session next Monday, have a really good rest! In the meantime, try to revise on Immabe and Ring-A-Ling again. We're not sure what Carol has in store for us again next week, but it's good to review those again! See you next Monday. Stay posted for updates. :)

Greetings to all of DF!!

I hope y'all had enjoyed your long 3-day weekend.. probably still had work to do but at least, had some rest at the same time?

Once again, HAPPY DEEPAVALI to all our Indian friends! Hope you had really enjoyed the festivities!

As mentioned in the last post, there won't be any dance practice with Carol tonight (Monday 19th October) due to the public holiday. But let's look forward to what's on the menu for this week...

Hello everybody!!!

I hope everyone had enjoyed Carol's session just now. Here are just a couple of reminders about what we have again this week:

Willy's Sharing Session
on Wednesday, 14 October 2009 @ NIE Dance Room, 6.30 - 8.15 pm
Yup! It's on! This won't be the usual beginner's class, as Willy will be sharing with us something that he learned from an overseas instructor. It's another great learning opportunity. But not to worry, do come along to learn, and most importantly, have fun! As usual, it is open for everyone! Feel free to bring your friends as well!

And (just a few more) announcements for those who weren't in today, and to remind those who were:
1) DF's HALLOWEEN OUTING
We'll be having an outing on 30th October (Friday), to the Night Safari!
It'll be for fun, and for all DF - seniors and newcomers alike - to bond together! We invite all of you to join us! And yup, it'll be up to you if you might want to dress up to spook people up or not..

Before the details are confirmed soon, please do keep that day free if you plan to join in the fun!

2) DF's CHALET
We're planning a Chalet some time this December, for a real outlet and FUN after the gruelling exam period! Stay posted as the details should be confirmed again soon!

Until then, hope to see you all on Wednesday! Have a nice rest, y'all!

After Carol's session just now, I left feeling really glad. It was wonderful to see more new faces, to join in our growing DF family. I hope everyone had enjoyed the session, where we 'travelled across the floor', grooving to the music, learnt basic techniques, did the continuation of the choreo for "Ring-a-Ling"!

I understand that it may sometimes be difficult to catch up on the steps, but really, don't worry about it! Feel free to approach the seniors or anyone else, maybe for a recap before the start of each session or something. Don't give up, because with practice, you'll be able to get it down pat! Don't be afraid. Dance is enjoyable, and even more with all of you to dance with. =)

Hey all! If you felt the same way as I did, you may have been stressed out over all the upcoming tests, assignments, and deadlines to meet... but the body still seems twitching to dance again! And yeah, here it is finally! A new week begins with practices with DF

Here's what we can look forward to for this week:

Carol's Session as usual on Monday, 12 October 2009, 6.30 - 8 pm, @ NIE Cardio Room
Carol will teach us the continuation of last week's fun choreo on Ring-a-ling by the Black Eyed Peas!
Don't worry, if you are unsure with the steps, or were not here last week, you can come earlier at 6pm, and we'll go through the steps again together!

For those who applied for the flash mob, practice will continue right after Carol's session, from 8pm onwards!

On Wednesday, 14th October 2009, from 6.30 - 8.15 pm, @ NIE DanceRoom, Willy's Session is on!
Our apologies for last week's change in schedule for Willy's Session... but here it is, finally! We'll get to learn from Willy as he shares what he had learned from an overseas instructor. Be prepared for more challenging steps, but don't worry, do join in, it is an invaluable experience and it'll be fun!

Of course, all our sessions are open to all, so bring your friends and come have a good time dancing! See you all then!

On the 28th September 2009, DanceFuzion's new 4th Committee has officially been formed!
Presenting to you... DanceFuzion's 4th Commitee!

Of course, let's not forget the efforts of all our previous committee members, for if it weren't for all of your contributions and hard work, DF would never have made it where it is today. A million thanks to everyone who has helped shape up DF in one way or another!

Of course, the committee only makes up a small part of DF; nor is it the most important part of it as well... because all the members of DF are equal and important.

The DF Family is made up of all of us, together as ONE

Go DanceFuzion, for the never-ending sharing of the love of dance for all to enjoy!


Hooray!!

HELLO to all in the DF Family, including all newcomers

We'd just ended our Wednesday night with a fun beginners' class with John Chok lasting from 6.30 till 8.15 pm.

This started with the usual (and vital!) stretching exercises, and continued with some practice in bouncing, and bouncing with the choreo of Super Junior's "Sorry Sorry". Last but not the least, we ended the session by learning a fun choreo of "Break the Ice" by Britney Spears.

I hope everyone thoroughly enjoyed the session as much as we did, and that you had gained something you find useful from it. Once again, a million thanks to John for all the invaluable guidance and patience in his instructions.

Although the session had ended, as John had mentioned, feel free to keep practising until your body gets used to it! Anywhere, in the shower, while you're taking a break from studying, or anytime you'd like!

Dance sessions are over for this week ..but..! We can look forward to another great Carol's session on Monday the 12th October, and Willy's sharing session on Wednesday. Just stay posted or check your emails; we'll update on the details again soon! In the meantime, do get some good rest!

'Recharging battery for Monday"..

By the way, did you know that NIE DanceFuzion also has its own Facebook Group? Just follow this link to get there. There's a frequently updated list of the songs used by the instructors for the choreos during each session. If you've been to DF sessions or are interested in coming over, feel free to join this group, post on the wall, etc. Of course, there's also a tagboard on this blog as well. Anything to suit your preferences! Of course, besides getting important info disseminated to everyone, the main purpose of all these is for the DF family to be able to bond together!

Last but not the least, good luck everyone in coping with schoolwork and other daily challenges, such as juggling everything together. We can do it, never give up. Rest well and eat well. Take good care of yourselves! See you all around really soon!

Cheers!
