Future
Saturday, August 2, 2008
Sometimes it's odd when you talk to someone about something, and it will always end up that you will talk about your future. here are a few of the future talks that I had this week.
I talked about what i want to be when i am older, and i said i wanted to be a father... but actually the conversation was directed to just when i am in my twentys. Well, i don't know what to say, i don't even know what i want to do yet... My plans now is that I want to start a family before i am thirty, open a business hopefully (thinking of hotel), and be an actor or dancer part-timely. Where I live is not decided yet, it all depends how i do in my studies...
Another future talk is that I spoke to a girl (unnamed) where will be furthering our studies because we are both not locals. And also we also shared our secret hobbies, and i told her that i dance. And she was like cool. I find it easier to share stuff like that to girls because if you tell a guy that you dance, he will give you that look and the next word that comes from their mouth is "...". Yeah, fill in the blanks. Back to the real thing, she was like okay with it and she was very supportive, she said that it was unfortunate that the dance team in the school is not very strong and it only concentrates in chinese cultural dance. I agreed and told her that i was more interested in ballroom and contemporary dance. then we were talking about whether we will pursue our arts talent and she was saying that CJC is a good school to further the arts. Then talked about CCAs and everything, it was really enjoyable to be able to open up to someone once in a while (aside from blogging), after all i am the type who doesn't like to interact much, what people would say a loner or emo. WHATEVER.
That's all about future talks, now I am going to give you a scoop on so you think you can dance. The TOP 4 contestants who made it through are...
Katee
Joshua
Courtney
Twitch
I was so sad that my favourite did not make it. Chelsie is a brilliant latin/ballroom dancer, however her solos were getting bland as the weeks passed. Especially her performance solo was lousier than her results solo. She always did latin solos which is very weak when you are doing it alone. Furthermore the song she picked for her solo was Pussycat Dolls' When I grow Up, which is the worse song in history to do a latin with, and the portion she used was the bridge which transitions into the chorus. Then for the results solo, she switched it up to a jive, which was way more fun than her latin solo. How I wished she had did that solo earlier then she could have been in the top 4. Still, the top 4 contestants are brilliant dancers and I canot wait who they will crown as the next champion for SYTYCD.
Anyway, I am going to share some of the dance styles that i have picked up from SYTYCD and everywhere else.
Contemporary/Jazz/Broadway.
Rumba
Foxtrot
Tango (still not so good)
Waltz
Cha Cha (Shit you Straits Times for not picking me!)
Salsa (I can't tell the difference between this and the Mambo)
Jive
Hip Hop (I can do them but I don't know how)
for those wondering what is the difference between Contemporary, Jazz and broadway, they are actually few dance styles of the same group. What I think they are is...
Broadway is a subset of Jazz
Jazz is a subset of Contemporary
Contemporary is a subset of Ballet
Ballet is a subset of Dance
So draw the Venn diagram and you can tell what they are more clearly.
