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

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. :)

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. =)

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!
