    Dance
    Tuesday, August 5, 2008

    Today in school, we had the opportunity to witness one of the most awesome dance styles of the century.

    NUS dance synergy came to our school and introduced the background behind the contemporary dance or what they call it modern dance. They performed 2 pieces of choreography of unknown choreographers and they executed the routine well. However I may say that the guys were not strong because well the lifts werent beautiful and elegant, the stretches werent to the fullest, and the kicks werent as high as the girls. Furthermore, there was one guy who at the second performance missed the beat, and he tried to fulfill all the choreographies and instead screw up the choreography. Why? because the girls were dancing in chorus while the guy was still at the back doing what the girls were doing, in other words he didnt synchronize.

    Aside from that, the presenter showed a few videos of contemporary which dated years ago. There were ballet pieces, classical contemporary, and also TRAVIS WALL of SYTYCD 2. Comparing his work to their work, I think the NUS Dance Synergy team needs to work doubly hard. Anyway, they are going to do a public performance of unknown time and location with promised choreographies from NAFA choreographers. I am so excited to go and watch, I really want to see how brilliantly singapore's Contemporary Choreographies will look like on stage, because for real, I wasnt satisfied with the work of The NUS DANCE SYNERGY today. If I were Nigel Lythgoe on SYTYCD, I will say that they were just a mess, nothing special about them, the moves were too forced and stiff, it needs to be more fluid and the transition must be smoother.

    On the side note, I didnt find it surprising to notice that Zhonghua students dont understand the chreography routines, maybe because they were a mess or probably the music was too loud. They couldn't understand the pieces, most of them were unaware of what they were doing, and some was even lamenting on the worst assembly programme. THis proves that the Zhonghua body is not artistically inclined as to what they thought they were. They didnt even know that the choreography has ended... I was like clapping as I noe that the choreography has ended, clued in by the outro of the music, but they thought they the team will still continue to dance? Well, I would not want to further criticise their artistic knowledge.

    NOTE: Not everyone who acts like that guy who presented is gay. It's just the way they are, while others are naturally gay.
