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,
