Teacher's day performance
Sunday, August 2, 2009
Yey!!! okay there was actually a plan to include my ballroom interest to a teachers day performance, and I have no clue how long should it be? The song chosen is Hairspray's You Can't Stop The Beat. At first, when I hear it, it was kinda hard to choreograph the first minute because it is so broadway and you just want to dance broadway to it. And then I searched on the net for any ballroom take on this song, and to my amazement, I found a pair of 10 year olds dancing to this song on DWTS. And I was like WOW!!!!
Although their dance was kinda not very ballroom and there were a lot of acting in it, but it was commendable of them to attempt this song which is so broadway. Then I thought if they could do it, my couldn't I. Actually tried to imitate theirs but it was too much acting and I really wanted it to be jive-y or swing-y. Then I watched Anya and Denny's jive on SYTYCD and I felt that what they did was kinda cool, then i tried to match the choreography to their piece...
And I was glad that I had a reference to choreograph this song. though it was not totally copied, but I liked how it turned out... Although the intro could have been better, the overall product was not too shabby... Gotta try it out during wednesday's practice. Oh yeah, this wednesday gonna have an external biology lecturer coming to share with us, so gonna be late for that practice... oh well, but still I am loving this piece...
JIVE ALONG
