These are the dances that the dance leaders put up!

Thriller:

For chorus, follow Jo's timing kay! Mine's kinda screwed.
Thank you people!
Chyi

Reach:

At about 1:00, which is the second "reach out for the stars", when you bring your right and left hand out to the sides, your legs should follow as well.
Then for the snapping part, follows yihui's stepping count alright! Thank you!

there's no TTL video 'cause yihui and cheryl think you dont need one.

Please practise as much as you can!!!

- Bring court shoes on Monday for rehearsal after school at 2.30pm

New Vids

2008-11-04T21:41:00.000-08:00

Hi!
So its very very very late right now, and i only have the first video which is of the backs of the dancers.

Later in the day or when i can touch the computer i'll add the other video here on the blog (the front view of the dancers).

Practise hard! (Of course not too hard when something unplanned happens, whatever it is) See you soon, okay seeyou!

OKAY HI! This is the other Video! (Dancers facing the front)

Practise your butt off!
Okay not literally
Adeline

*** Oh yeah, if you guys want the dance song only and not the video, i can send it to you. This would really help as now you would be able to force yourself not to see the vid and practise right. Ask from any of the dancers or fellow councillors if u want. You can add me and ask for it : adelinefo@hotmail.com

Update

2008-11-04T00:44:00.000-08:00

Sorry to say, but we still need to have the meeting tomorrow.
