Happy Chinese New Year, DanceFuzion! Hope you're all enjoying it! =)

I'm sorry for posting up the song title for our previous beginners' session on the blog, although I'd already posted it up on Facebook. Thanks again Alvin for leading yet another beginners' class last Thursday! The song is

Bad Romance by Lady Gaga.

Here are a few practice updates for this week! And here's what to look forward to when we get back to school!

17th February 2010 (Wednesday) - Carol's Session resumes at 6.30-8.30pm at NIE Dance Room (NIE Block 5, Level 2!)

Yup, Carol's session resumes again this week! Do practise the steps to the previous dance routines if you have the time - the girls' hiphop routine, and maybe some other previous choreos if you know! If you don't, it's alright! It'll definitely be a fruitful class for all, and everyone is welcome, so do join us and bring your friends! :)

18th February 2010 (Thursday) - Beginners' Class

This week's Beginners' Class will be conducted by Willy, at 7.00 - 8.30pm at NIE Dance Room!

He'll be teaching us a choreography to a song by Michael Jackson!

The song will be used as part of our performance for the upcoming NIE 60th Anniversary Celebrations, so performers, please do try to make it for the session! :) but.... even if you're not interested in performing, please do come and learn the choreo together! Most importantly, let's have some fun! :)

I'm looking forward to seeing you all again after the short CNY break! :)

Hello everyone! :)

Thanks a lot for coming down for today's session by Chris! Hope you all had enjoyed it as much as I do. The song we used for tonight's choreo is

"90's Baby" by Karina. :)

You can try listening to it more and you'll find it easier to identify which the beats to hit on! :)

In the meantime, do remember to recap the girls' hip-hop routine for Carol's session tomorrow (10th Feb 2010) Wednesday, from 6.30-8.30pm at NIE Dance Room yeah? Hope to see you again! :)

Good night and sleep well now! Sweet dreams!

Hello everyone! TGIM... although I'm not sure how many would agree with me! :)

Alright, let's not gloom over coming back to school after a nice weekend and I'll show you just why we can be happy it's the start of a new week! (in order!)

On Monday, 8th Feb 2010:

DanceFuzion starts its week with another performance, this time for International Culture and Travel Fair (ICTF) 2010!

Time of performance: Around 1pm

Venue: Nanyang Auditorium (that's in NTU! You can walk along the straight path after passing by the 7-Eleven Convenience store, and follow the signs!)

Do try to come down if you're free, to support your friends, ok? You can also enjoy the event at the same time, further details given below. :)

Here's more about the event itself:

• The entire event is from 10am - 5pm
• A summation of what it's all about: Students from different cultural backgrounds will showcase their cultures, and hence enabling us to experience the different cultures all at once!
• An authentic culture experience is enhanced through performances, both traditional and modern (like ours!), plus rounds of food from different countries will be served at regular intervals! (Have a TASTE of each country!)
• Representatives from travel agencies offering attractive travel packages

More to expect on the day!:

• Free lunch
• Popular Vouchers
• Goodie Bags
• Games
• Performances!
• And a chance to win a 4-day Sydney Explorer Tour for Two

On Tuesday, 9th Feb 2010:

Dance Session with Chris, 6.30-8.00pm, NIE Dance Room (@NIE Block 5, Level 2)

Chris will be teaching a dance choreo of the song 90's Baby by Karina.

Everyone is welcome for this sharing session, and it'll be good fun to learn another new choreo! So come on over and join us, and feel free to bring your friends along! :)

On Wednesday, 10th Feb 2010:

Carol's session resumes this week on Wednesday instead, at 6.30-8.00pm, @ NIE Dance Room!

For those who were present for Carol's session last week, do try to practise the steps to the girls' hip-hop routine (for the song "Give it to me" by Madonna)! :)

If you weren't present last week, not to worry! Come join us this week anyway, it's okay! Everyone is welcome, so feel free to bring your friends! :)

On Thursday, 11th Feb 2010:

Beginners' Session will be conducted by Willy, 6.30-8.00pm, @ NIE Dance Room!

Willy's back again to conduct another beginners' session with us! Again, everyone is welcome for this session too, so do come join us! :)

After our medley of exciting dance sessions, it'll be the weekend of Chinese New Year!

So what do you say, do we have a great week ahead of us or what? In the meantime, keep it up, working hard for your assignments and work! Remember, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy (or makes Jill a dull girl), so, let's try our best to achieve that necessary balance and enjoy even the tougher times. =)

See you guys soon! :)

Hello there everyone!! :)

Hope you have all gotten home safely and had a nice shower and get ready for a good night's sleep! :) We are really glad to see a few more new friends who joined us for Carol's session tonight. It was a real pleasure to have all of you around, really. To Maria, Eunice and Nicole (hope I got all the spellings right), a big big welcome for you to DanceFuzion! Hope to see you again real soon! :)

By the way, here's the title of the song Carol used tonight!
"Give it to Me" by Madonna! (woah!)

So yup, do practise the steps on your own if you have the time! It's easier to remember and grasp the steps that way. Of course, if you can't really grasp all of it just yet, it's alright, just try and you'll get it soon! :)

Next on for this week:
Join us on Thursday 4th Feb 2010 for Beginners' Session with Chris, at 6.30pm-8.00pm at NIE Dance Room! The choreo we'll be learning will be used for the upcoming performance for NIE 60th Anniversary Celebrations (on 27th Feb), so do come down and learn if you're interested to perform. For those who don't, do come down and join us too and enjoy another dance session! Everyone is welcome! :)

Lastly to end the week, DanceFuzion will be performing for the NIE CNY Celebrations on Friday 5th February! It's organised by the CLEAR Club and will be held at the NIE U.iD, starting from 10.30am, and our performance will be at around 11am. Besides being able to enjoy the various performances catered for everyone, there will also be free goodie bags and lunch buffet for everyone! :)

Hope to see you guys for Beginners' Session and our CNY performance! Do have a good night's rest and take care! Good night! :)
