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! =)

Our First Holiday Dance Session!

2010-05-11T01:44:00.000-07:00

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! =)

We Did It!

2010-03-28T08:30:00.000-07:00

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!

4 more days till our debut dance showcase!

2010-03-23T15:40:00.001-07:00

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. =)

Join us for "Recess: Alter Ego"

2010-03-14T21:57:00.001-07:00

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. =)

Training is on full throttle this week!

Good night and sweet dreams, DanceFuzion!

2010-02-02T07:34:00.000-08:00

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! :)

Time to hit the sack after a satisfying dance session =)

2010-01-26T08:20:00.000-08:00

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! :)

Lots of stuff to look forward to this week! (24/1 - 31/1)

2010-01-23T21:34:00.001-08:00

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!

A Late Update for the Song on Carol's Session, 12/1/10

2010-01-14T09:11:00.000-08:00

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,

Happy New Year, DanceFuzion!!

2009-12-30T12:17:00.000-08:00

Greetings!

Today's the 31st of December, the last day of 2009. It has been a long, taxing year, but we made it! Juggling between schoolwork, social life, people, we also stuck with our passion for dance. It has certainly been wonderful with all of you in DanceFuzion!

Before we happily dive right into the new year, let's remember 2009 for all the great times it had...

Thank you for coming for practices even when you're bogged down with work or had your energy zapped at late evening classes...

Thank you for committing yourselves to DanceFuzion, its practices and performances even during the busiest, most stressful periods of university, and for some, work.

Thank you for being there with us for numerous events, ranging from performances, chalet, outings, and even (and especially!) the short post-dance dinner gatherings after our practice session.

We know that DanceFuzion would not have been able to achieve what it has today without you, and our events would not have been as fun without each and every one of you! So, THANK YOU for always being there with us and for us =)

Let's hope the next Semester will be a better one. For those who would have graduated after this semester, congratulations, and please do come back and join us whenever you can, as often as possible! You are always welcome in DF! =)

DF LOVES YOU! HAPPY NEW YEAR, AND ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE IN 2010!
because... you all are simply the best! =)

Season's Greetings to all DF members! How have you all been? I hope you all had a great, merry Christmas and hopefully you'll have a great New Year's Countdown... :)

I'm sure many of you are (again) itching to loosen those muscles and see your fellow friends once more! You will get the chance before the school starts. Here are the details for our next dance practice:

Dance Practice on 5th January 2010 (new year!) (That's on a Tuesday!)
Time: 11.30 am - 1 pm
Venue: NIE Dance Room (PE Block 5, Level 2, just beside the cardio room)

Everyone is welcome for the session, please do come and join us yeah! :)
This will also be a session of preparation for our performers for Parents' Day on 16th January 2010. :)

Last but not the least, if you have some free time on the 31st Dec and want to spend it on something fun, why not may your way down to Orchard Cineleisure for an exciting New Year's Countdown with performances by dancers from StudioWu... and a few of our DF friends! Let's show our love yeah! And just welcome the new year happily! :)

Happy New Year y'all! See you soon! :)

For Friends from Degree & Diploma Programme to Take Note!

2009-12-19T01:46:00.000-08:00

GREETINGS, dearest DanceFuzion members and friends! How have your holidays been so far? We really hope you're enjoying yourselves and spending your time fruitfully!

We'll be back in school in 4 weeks' time, specifically on Monday 11 Jan 2010!

Firstly, remember to keep on the lookout for the release of the results from the previous semester..

Secondly, as those of you in the Diploma, BA/BSc and BEd Part-Time Programmes would have done before, you would have to register for your courses prior to the commencement of the new semester.

Please check out the important details at the Teachers' Portal and note them down as soon as possible, as most of them would need your action on the specified dates and times. Sorry for not putting up the details here for fear that I may make some mistakes in the important details, or worse, mislead you!

Do make sure you would have registered for all of your courses, by checking your programme structures, taking note of the dates and timings for the tasks that require your action, and registering accordingly!

Take care and have a great holiday! Christmas is coming! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way..

Miss you all very much!

Venue: NIE Danceroom
Time: 11am - 12.30pm

All are welcome to join this session! The NIE Dance Room is just beside the Cardio Room, at Block 5 Level 2. Please try to be punctual, so that we can start learning the choreo earlier and have more time for practice! Hope to more of us then!

Once again, we're counting down to the days of our DanceFuzion chalet... that's just 3 more days to go! It'll be on 15th - 17th December at Aloha Loyang. Please try to join us, for it's true, the more the merrier! At least, try to come by the 16th, when we'll have our barbeque at night! :)

Hip Hop A!

2009-12-10T10:33:00.000-08:00

Hello there!!

For those of you who were present on Thursday's session which was led by Chris, hope you'd enjoyed yourselves! It was certainly a challenging session with a fantastic choreo!

Give yourselves a BIG pat on the back! Remember, don't worry if you aren't to completely catch the steps, because the day's session was definitely not at beginner's level but more than that, so that we can all finish complete the entire choreo. Our usual sessions will be at a normal pace, so don't get discouraged, continue to come by and learn more moves and have fun!

The real song name is unknown, but this song is known to ourselves as "Hip Hop A".

You can listen to the song in our blog's music playlist. If you need to download the file, just click on this LINK and download "Hip Hop 1".

Have a really good rest and enjoy your weekend! There will be another dance session next Monday on 14th Dec before we take some time off to enjoy our DanceFuzion chalet! Details will be posted soon. Take care y'all! =)

sending out the ♥ to all df members

2009-11-14T19:45:00.000-08:00

HEYYYY everyone in DF!!

Now that school is out, dance sessions have been put on hold and everyone's mugging for the upcoming exams, would just like to say, on behalf of all your fellow DF friends:

"加油", or, "GO GO GO!!!!"

All the best in your exams..

Study smart, and be sure to give yourself a short break if you find that you can't focus..

Let's say to ourselves...

"We believe we can do it!"

Just for this exam period, I'm sharing these songs, "When You Believe" by Mariah Carey, and "I Believe" by Yolanda Adams in our playlist... the last song in the playlist, might feel like listening to it if you need to recharge before you continue studying! (you can dance to 'I Believe' too!)

DanceFuzion, BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT.

If you'd like to have some chats or discussion and post any randoms, maybe to cheer each other on or share your feelings, go to our facebook group and participate in the latest discussion set up for this!

Take care y'all!

After Dance, Facing The Challenges Ahead..

2009-11-04T07:09:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone!

I hope all of you who came for Willy's Beginners' Class tonight had enjoyed themselves! For your information, and maybe if you'd like to practice the choreo again yourselves, the song is:

4th November 2009, Willy's Beginners' Class

Tortilla Chips by T Bizzy

For those who couldn't make it because of the tough workload, assignments and tests, don't worry ok? There'll definitely be other chances! In the meantime, we can always practice the past choreos on our own when we have the time, when we feel like moving to some music... can always sharpen up those moves! :)

All the best in your work and meeting deadlines... DF, I'm sure YOU CAN DO IT! Believe you can! :)

For those of you, who are free and would like to perform for TTC Investiture on 24th November 09, remember to email Mei Ling at nie.dancefuzion@gmail.com at let her know ok? Be sure to check your exam timetable beforehand; if you are free, it is great to try it out.. Performances can really do a lot to improve your dance skills! :)

That's all for now! Be sure to have some good rest tonight! Take care! :)

Last Dance Session before Study Break

2009-11-03T01:55:00.001-08:00

Hello everyone!

Once again, we wish to send out our apologies that Carol's session couldn't commence yesterday evening as Carol was sick. I hope you still found the session of recapping past choreos useful though, especially for Immabe and Ring-a-ling, which was done quite awhile ago. We should be using them next time, so please do practice them and try to make it stay in your memory! (You can even 'practice' using your mind when you're listening to the song on the MRT on the way to school! ) *the power of the mind*

Anyway, we'll be having our last dance session tomorrow on Wednesday, before we take a break to fully concentrate on preparing for our exams!

Willy's Beginners' Class on Wednesday, 4th November, 6.30- 8.15 pm, @ NIE DanceRoom

This week's Beginners' Class will be conducted by none other than our ex-dance captain, Willy! The NIE Dance Room is just beside the NIE Cardio Room, at Block 5, Level 2. Don't worry if you have lessons till 7.30pm, just come along after that!

Everyone is welcome to come by and learn a few moves and have fun with our experienced ex-dance captain, Willy; and of course, to end our last session of dance before the exams with a happy note! Yup, let's cherish this session before we find ourselves missing the weekly dancing.. at least for the duration of the exam period..

That being said, hope to see you tomorrow!

P.S. To everyone, study smart and strive for the best in your exams! Believe you can do it! No matter how tough it may get, please take good care of yourselves, to eat regular meals, get enough sleep, and eat fruits! The weather lately isn't going to do us much good as well... So take care!

Lastly, on behalf of all of DF, to Carol and some of our members who are feeling under the weather, get well soon

Last Dance Practice before the Study Break... :(

2009-10-30T22:49:00.000-07:00

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!!

Updates on Upcoming DF Outings!

2009-10-25T08:23:00.000-07:00

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! :)

Dance is on this week as usual!! :)

2009-10-25T08:00:00.000-07:00

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!

After an invigorating dance session on Wednesday, 21st Oct 2009!

2009-10-21T08:30:00.000-07:00

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...

There's just a couple of reminders about the few announcements after today's session:

2) DF will be having an outing to the Night Safari on Friday 30th October 2009! Fees should be about $25 for the admission; and about $33 if we're taking the tram. Do join us if you want to! Just approach any of the committee members for more details. And yeah, we can dress up.. it'll be fun! =)

What's On, DF?

2009-10-12T10:13:00.000-07:00

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. =)

Dance Practice again for a new week!!

2009-10-10T01:34:00.000-07:00

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!

Post-Dance on Wednesday; Recharging for Monday!

2009-10-07T12:07:00.000-07:00

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!
