Music for Friday

 This Friday the music source, Pat, can't attend dance club. I downloaded loads of songs last Tuesday so I'm safe... Whew! My only problem will be if my computer decides to act up and break down unexpectedly :S Lets hope for the best and that I can take picture :D One of my friends took a video of the whole club  last meeting, hope I can post it :D
 
  Pat and I are think of this Jazz routine for our Halloween performance. We have a lot of ideas for lifting but we haven't checked on Eric about it who, obviously, will be the one taking all the weight. lol :D Pat's also getting excited about the costumes. Were thinking of hats and jackets <3 Typical Jazz...

  Only one person has given me their reply slip from the comittment letter since Friday... Hope I'll still have enough students... though, I should remind myself, we are aiming for Quality Dancers not just quantity... :D

 
  

So You Think You Can Dance

  Plus this Friday will be Jazz, the least like of the two dances we teach... I wish they'd like it, I mean, why not?

Comittment

  So, Dance Club. Today. We had to talk to the students about comitment and following the rules. I'm rather happy because I think they do like the club after all :D We had to send out these comittment letters because a lot of people were'nt comming to class, or not taking it seriously... One person backed out this week and majority of our Dance Club population havn't attended more than two classes since it started! :(
  Today's class went pretty well, though. We did Hip Hop. Eric taught most of the choreo part. During progression (when we form lines and travel forward doing steps) We taght them to do 4 pump walks and 4 counts of whatever they wanna do. These two boys did this flip thingy where they get up from the floor in a wave. I know its well known in Hip Hop but I'm forgetting the name right now :| FUN!!!
  I LOVE YOU COMITTED PEOPLE!!!
  Passion, I <3 it.
  Plus, our teacher wants us to perfom for Halloween. Were thinking of having a number for the whole dance club and another one for the teachers... Pat is thinking of dancing Jazz to Beggin'  by Madcon :D Theres also going to be a dance contest... They're thinking of making us judges :D So cool.

This Saturday Morning

  I woke up 7:30 a.m. thinking it was 9 and running to find my watch. Relieved to find that my prediction was two hours advanced I went back to my bed thinking about today's ballet class. I ate breakfast and got ready to leave.

  Class was good. I can't really say great. I have been Prohibited  from doing double Pirouettes as a result of having a crooked supporting leg. When my teacher told me this, I don't know if it meant I should improve my doubles or just do singles with strong knees...

  I've also been reprimanded for "pinching my back". Teacher Agnes says I must stretch on my Port de bras more.

3 students...

  This Friday, Pat and I only had 3 students. We coached them one on one and they actually got the gist. Only those three... For a while some joined but their rides came early. Some did not bring extra clothes.
:( Well at least I have an advaced group next Jazz ;)
  I don't think a lot of people like Jazz, I really don't understand why...

Friday Dance Club

  I wasn't able to take pictures of the Hip Hop class I taught on Friday. It was the very first class I taught as a teacher and not as an assistant. I took it easy. Really easy, I thought they would find it too easy actually, but I think I overestimated them. They complained of  body pains the next day :)) Next week is Jazz. A lot of people are hesitant about dancing it, even if they've never tried. I guess because it isn't as popular as Hip Hop... My friend (and assistant) and I got a Facebook group up and running that very night. We posted videos of Jazz, just to inspire... 
  I like being a teacher.
