this whole week i have been going to nus for dance practise, to prepare for a performance happening in next year march.
this time two choreographers from china flew in to sg, and they choreographed 5 items! they were only here for two weeks and they finished choreographing the 5 items. in short i finished learning my item in 4 days (monday to thursday), friday and today were used to refine our steps.
the item that i am dancing in is called 攀. and to be honest i quite like this item. if darling, mummy and the nuscd alumni see this item, i am quite sure that they will say this item is very YY. hahahaha.
it is a pretty challenging item, need lots of strength and stamina, and also has gravity defying stunts. the most challenging stunt is given to xuehong, whereby he will transform to a 武侠 hero and has to use his legs and run across the chests of a five-men wall. and then after that he has to flip over the five-wall and as a result his leg got caught by one of the shoulders and he landed awkwardly on the floor with a super huge impact and got injured quite badly. and that resulted in his bad mood facebook post on wednesday. please rest well xuehong~
the girls in the item are very strong in terms of flexibility and technique, especially my partner. she is a year 1 student, and with her around, we no need to get "small fly" to dance for nuscd anymore.
as for the boys, we have the "old men" contingent consisting of michael, xuehong, bin gege, myself and luohao. the other 3 are newbies. the 3 newbies are willing to learn but then there is 1 particular newbie who is a phd student and he thinks that he is a phd student in dance, always make alot of unnecessary comments, always does his counts wrongly, and it is seriously irritating.
oh well, let's hope the group dynamics will become better in the next 3 months and this item has the potential to be the crowd favourite item.
the best thing about going for dance this week is that i lost weight! even the china choreographer also pointed that out to me. haha.
