YO friends and members of DanceFuzion, how have you been? :D


It's really been a long time since we all last met! A number of DanceFuzion members made it to our past chalet which took place on 28-30th June, and had a blast there! It was then followed by the practicum month for NIE students which is still continuing for some... if you are aching to go back to the dance room to limber up those muscles again, fret not! Before you know it, we'll have to dust ourselves off and be prepared for all the exciting events ahead! =)


Keep on the look out for your emails for what's in store in the month of August!!
Dance sessions led by Carol will resume! 
These will take place at StudioWu at SMU, because NIE will no longer be accessible due to YOG preparations and actual events =(


Secondly, DanceFuzion will probably be performing for the upcoming Grand Welcome Ceremony, held to welcome all  our new freshies, our to-be-juniors! You know what that means... a chance for us to practice, rehearse and perform together again!


Looking forward to the month of August with everyone! Till then, take care guys! =)

Just got to shout out a big HELLO to all members and friends of DanceFuzion!

It has been almost a month since our last dance session before the start of the exams, quite some time since our smashing debut production had ended. We fought hard for our exams.. I must say, give yourself a big pat on the back guys, you've earned your long break!

We may have many plans lined up for the long break, and you can add another fun thing to your list...

Dance with DanceFuzion! :)

Here are the details for our next dance practice:

Dance Session on 13th May (Thursday)

Time: 11.30am - 1pm

(Those interested to perform for an upcoming PESS event in NIE on 28th May, please stay back for extra practice from 1-2pm!)

Although Carol won't be joining us for dance sessions till next semester, we hope you'd still be able to make it. After all, we gotta limber up those dance muscles and them back in shape till then! And it'll be fun! =)

The performance on 28th May for the PESS event in NIE will showcase our past performance items. Some of the few items under consideration include Immabe, Showdown, Hip Hop C, Dead and Gone, and others. If you're interested, please join us this Thursday!

We look forward to seeing you all there! =)

Cheers,

Last night, DanceFuzion made history!

It wasn't a big-scale in-theatre dance production. Neither were we professional dancers with extreme skills or talent. We were just student teachers of NIE and students of NTU, united by the passion for dance. That was what brought us together, and we had an aim to have our first public dance production in 2010. And we did it! An important milestone for DanceFuzion, our small-scale debut dance showcase ended last night and it was a great one at Heeren!  

We couldn't have done it without the guidance by our instructor Carol. Neither could it have been possible by the committed team of performers who came for each practice session, ready to work their hardest to improve and give their all for the performance. It wouldn't have gone smoothly without the help from our emcee, guest performers, stage manager, and the guys working the sound system and cameras. Much more importantly, it wouldn't have been such a great night if it wasn't for all the family, friends and people who came to support DanceFuzion! You guys were amazing and deserve a big round of applause!

Thank you everyone for helping us make 

Recess: Alter Ego a huge success!

We're looking forward to giving many more entertaining dance performances, and of course, our next dance production! See you again then! We also welcome all NIE and NTU students to join us for our future dance sessions! 

Look out for photos and other updates on this blog in the near future!

Hey everyone!

There are just 4 more days till the day of our debut public dance showcase, "Recess: Alter-Ego".

Once again, here's just a quick recap of the details of the event:

Duration: Around 45 minutes
Venue: The Heeren, Ground floor, near the round stage. Nearest MRT Station: Somerset.

We really appreciate all the support from everyone so far! We need all of your continued support so, please come down with your friends to join us for some fun on a Saturday night. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you all on Saturday! =)

Please visit our production blog at dfproduction2010.blogspot.com for further updates and directions on how to get there. =)

Calling out to all DanceFuzion members, friends and members of the public for your support!

DanceFuzion presents...

"Recess: Alter Ego"
our debut dance showcase

Date: 27th March 2010 (Saturday)
Time: 6.50pm
Duration: 45 minutes
Venue: The Heeren (round stage, ground floor)
Nearest MRT Station: Somerset

Production Synopsis:
Many might have the impression that teachers are, by default, ‘serious’ types of people. After school, they go back home, mark papers, do lesson plans, go to bed early, and repeat the same routine every day. These may be the typical impressions people have of us teachers; but on the contrary, teachers are just like any other people, and can be barrels of joy and fun too!

“Recess: Alter Ego”, an upcoming public production by NIE DanceFuzion, will showcase the talents of our student teachers in a medley of entertaining performances, showing the audience that teachers can be fun-loving and professional at the same time. In this way, fellow teachers are encouraged not to stick to status quo, but to bring professionalism to the next level by not fearing innovation. Last but not least, we hope to showcase a different side of teachers, a side that students may find easier to relate to, since they actually do share something in common!

There will also be singing performances by Faizal (StarLite 2008 Soloist Champion) & Nidzam (StarLite group category runner-ups 2007), as well as the StarLite 2010 group category champions, TNT!

Best of all, this public performance production is free-of-charge! So, do try to bring your friends down together to show your much-appreciated support for your friends from NIE, and to just chill out to some great entertainment on a Saturday night!

Visit our new production blog, for directions on how to get to The Heeren, and catch the latest news and updates regarding progress of the preparations leading to the production event, as well as photos which will be posted up after the production event. =)

Hey everyone! Wow, I felt Carol's session tonight was a fruitful one, helping us train not just on the choreography, but also many important basic techniques too which will definitely help us in dance. Hope everyone had the same sentiments, and enjoyed yourselves!

Was absolutely glad to see more new faces today too. A very warm welcome to DanceFuzion! :)

Anyway, here's the song title used for the choreo we danced to today (remember last week, we danced to two different songs, a slow one and another fast one? we did the slow one today.)

and it's titled "I'm The One" by Mary J. Blige. =)

Yup yup, let's "do some homework" and get better next week yeah? =)

Next on, tomorrow (Wednesday 27th Jan 2010) is one of the practices for our NIE Chinese New Year Celebration Performance! For those who are performing, we'll see each other at the dance room at 6.30pm-8pm! :)

And for everyone - Come by on Thursday (28th Jan 2010), 6.30pm-8pm at the Dance Room,

to join us for Beginners' Class, which will be conducted by Alvin! He'll be teaching us a nice choreo which will be used for ICTF performance on 8th February, so for those who wants to perform, please do come down and learn, but if you're not performing, do come down anyway to learn more new steps okay! Everyone is welcome and we'll look forward to seeing you again! :)

Plus a little side note for those who would like to perform for our upcoming public production, do email Mei Ling by the end of this week; and for those who have some nice choreographies up on your pockets, do show Carol your choreos by next week aight! =)

Last but not the least! DanceFuzion's 3-days-2-nights camp starts on Friday! Gotta have ourselves a great time! :)

Ending a colourful post =p

Hey there all DanceFuzion members & friends! Time flies and already, we're in the third week of the new semester. Hope everyone's holding up well despite the slowly increasing workload... :)

Nevertheless, do give yourselves a break every now and then while you're working hard, which may help de-stress and give you more pep for beating those challenging work you're doing!

So, let's take a look at the myriad of fun stuff we've got in store for you this week!

First on, of course, our weekly dance sessions!

1) Carol's session resumes as usual on Tuesday, 26th January 2010:

It's from 6.30pm-8.00pm at NIE Dance Room (NIE Block 5, Level 2).

For those who was present for last week's session, maybe you can recap the steps we'd learnt! If you weren't there, it's okay, do come on over because Carol would be glad to see more new faces, and so do we! :)

-and-

2) Beginners' session is on this Thursday, 28th January 2010, from 6.30-8.00pm @ NIE Dance Room:

Guess who'll be our dance trainer this week? It's Alvin! :)

The choreo he'll be teaching us may be used for an upcoming performance in February, but regardless of whether or not you'd want to join in performing, do join us anyway and learn some new steps! :)

Everyone is welcome for both sessions, so bring your friends along to join us for all the fun! It's also fine if you end classes late, just come by anyway after that! :)

-PLUS!-

Here's an additional fun event for us this week! I'm referring to our DanceFuzion 3-days-2-nights Camp (please refer to the recent email from us for the details!)

We'll be staying at NIE Student Hub Level 3 (indoors with air-con!), and the programme includes a myriad of fun activities both inside NIE and outside school (including a trip to Sentosa for Flying Fox, etc etc!).

So, please confirm your attendance (please also state which days you can make it, although we hope you can be there to enjoy all 3 days 2 nights!) with Mei Ling or through the DanceFuzion email as soon as possible! :)

Looking forward to spending such an exciting week with all of you! Cheers!

Hey everyone!

We'd like to thank everyone for coming down to join us for our beginners' session on Thursday. I hope you'd enjoyed the class as much as I did! Let's thank our dance trainer Guan Chong for teaching us useful basic popping techniques and teaching us a nice choreography today!

Although I'm sure most of you already know the title of the song (lol), the song is

"Eat You Up" by BoA =)

Would also like to welcome a few new members who just joined us today or for the second time, Pamela and Kai Xin. *claps*! =) Hope I got the spelling of your names right! =)

All right everyone, rest well now! Enjoy your weekend and I'll see you all next Tuesday for Carol' session yeah? Take care y'all! =)

Hello everyone!!

I'm so sorry for posting up the song title used during Carol's Session last Tuesday this late. I was wondering if the song was the right one! Well, if you happen to download or stream it for somewhere and it doesn't sound quite the same 3-fast-beats song, it could be that the one we had danced to was the edited version, but nevertheless, just try to recall the steps we've learned, and most of all, enjoy grooving to it! It is a great song!

So this song is

Symphony by Timbaland

That'll be all for now. Take care guys and I hope to see you all again next Tuesday for another great session with Carol! :)

With Love,
