Dearest VerB,

This post is dedicated to everyone, esp dancers who have been training hard w/ me [:

Thanks for tolerating my bad temper, my screams and scoldings.
I enjoy dancing w/ you guys.
I enjoy choreographing for you guys as a replacement.
I enjoy drilling you guys during P.T.
I enjoy eating w/ y'all.
I enjoy coaching y'all.
I enjoy laughing w/ y'all.
I enjoy y'all mocking at me. (Shi Hui!!!)
I enjoy doing everything for you guys:D

Although we only bonded better this year, 4 years in VerB changed my life[:

I love y'all!!!

GEM 4 Concert @ TP

2009-04-08T22:26:00.005+08:00

Hi everyone,

hope that the Dance Concert, Gem 4, at Temasek Polytechnic was an eye opening experience for everyone. =)There are certainly many things to learn from the more experience dancers. I am looking forward to watching more concerts!

Personally, I observe that there are a few learning points:

1. A piece of dance performance is not just the dance steps. A good performer dances with the right facial expressions to transmit the right emotions of the dance.

2. Prior to the concert were hours and hours of practices. It was clearly shown that their hardwork paid off. Hardwork, is the key to honing ur own skill as a good dancer! =)

3. It can be seen that the dancers are really full of passion for the things they do. Passion for dance, is also the ingredient in order to go far in this art...

Dear dancers,

these 3 months spent together was exhausting yet fruitful.
We've not only gain all the muscle aches and fatigue, we got closer together, and we know each other much better now.
Do we all still remember when VerB was still a dance club w/ no life and camaraderie at all?
We are so drifted apart,I'm sure we didn't feel like we were a team.
However, we're a totally different VerB right now.
Not only has our dancing reached another level, we feel more belonged, which I think is the best part.
As for the danceworks dancers.
Although we didn't made it into the finals, we gained a lot more, right?
I believe we've also gained the recognition for our efforts.
We were upset about the result, but I believe that what sadden us more is that we no longer have the long hours of trainings, the hectic schedule every week, as well as scoldings from Gin, Mr Kong and me. hehe.

As for Taiwan dancers,
the trip was really a pleasurable one. It was also a break for all of us from the hectic school term and dance practices. I hope all of us did benefit from th trip, in terms of dance skills, general knowledge and also bonding.
We looked out for each other when we're in a foreign environment.
We encouraged each other when we were trying something refreshing.
We had lotsa fun :D

Most importantly, I hope that the team spirit do not vanish after this 3 months.
All for one, one for all.
We're VerB in a whole:D

Love,
Yvonne.

2009-03-23T20:14:00.005+08:00

@ 23 secs, hands MUST touch your head.
@ 25 secs, right leg should bend more.

* Overall, try to get your timings, use more strength and improve on your lines!:D

Keeps Getting Better Group 1

@ 26 secs, it's 3 "N" , where your hands hit down with your right knee turning inwards.
From 44 - 45 secs, you are to arch your back, so that your chest go forward. Also, stretch your hand as far back as possible.

Keeps Getting Better Group 2

@ 32 secs, hands are behind your head, not beside your ears.
@ 43-44 secs, both legs are to bend.
@ 50 secs, neck is relaxed and look down!

Overall, this choreo is better than hard to breathe.
However, still the same problems, we need to use more strength, bigger moves, cleaner lines, and most importantly, get steps right.
If you have any problems or questions, feel free to ask me [:
Try ( MUST ) not be so shy , dance all out. & we'll all look really good!:D

Anyway, here are the webs on the hotels and farm stay we're staying in Taiwan!

Ways to Improve on Dancing ( For Reference) :

1) Take Dance Class- One of the best ways to ensure progress is to go for dance classes.Your muscle memory, coordination, and confidence will improve each time you come to class. The more frequently that you take class, and learn new choreography, the easier picking up the moves becomes. And remember, class is a time to learn. This is the time to mess up, ask questions, and develop your skills. As you learn from different teachers you will start to pick up on their style of hip hop. Soon you will be able to execute the movements very similar to them.

2)Watch Other Dancers- This is so important when you are wanting to improve your skills. Watch videos of great dance performances, dance movies and choreography. watch them over and over. Ask yourself, what are they doing that makes them look so good? What elements are they adding that make them stand out? Watch music videos and live performances. You will start to pick up on the vibe that the dancers are giving off.

3) Practice your Freestyle- Freestyle dance is an art within itself. It is important to frestyle so that you can learn your body and how it moves. The more you freestyle the more you become comfortable in your own skin and you will gain more confidence w/ your dancing. Everybody has their own vibe and being able to freestyle defines your style and your individuality as a hip hop dancer.

4)Ask Questions From Other Experienced Dancers and Choreographers ( Gin/ Mr. Kong, etc.)- It is always good to go straight to the source and asking them how and why they do what they do. Ask questions like who inspired you to dance? Dancing has a different meaning for everyone so knowing the reason why someone dances or why they dance a certain way can give you motivation to find your meaning and purpose for wanting to become an amazing hip-hop dancer. It also gives you guidance on what direction you want to go with dance.

5)Listen to music- It's not just about listening to the music, it is dissecting each element that makes up the track. The most amazing dancers have great musicality. They hear instruments and sounds in a song that you never knew were there. In turn their movements give the track depth and bring the song to life making the dancer more interesting to watch. By developing your musicality your moves will be far more advanced and more people will love to watch you dance.

6) Listen to Criticism- It might sometimes be difficult to identify our mistakes ourselves, thus, listening to criticism, digesting them and correct your mistakes.

7) Schedule Practice Time - Always practice consistently. Dance whenever, and wherever you can.

8)Don't be too afraid/ too shy to express and dance- many of us are too shy or hesitant to dance it all out. It will hinder your progress, and affect how you look when you dance. Dance is performing, when it comes to performance, there is no shyness.

Dear verbies,

when you see this entry, pls sms me your full name, class and NRIC Number.
Thanx

Also here is an update of the new payment scheme, which I will print out and hand it to you eventually. At this moment, you might just want to share with your parents how the payment will be like =)

Cost of Trip ~ $1200
Students may pay this amount by a few means. They are
1. Apply for Financial Assistance Scheme which will subsidise up to a maximum of 80% of the cost. (Financial Assistance Scheme is applicable only for Singaporean students whose gross household income is less than $5000)
2. Deducting from their Edusave. (subject to the amount of money each students have in their funds). Only Singaporean Students have Edusave Funds.
3. School will subsidize $120 for students who do not benefit from Financial Assistance Scheme .

With the above plan and depending on the situation, the minimum and maximum amount that a student will pay is $0 and $1080 respectively.

Rehearsal Resumes

2009-01-04T14:45:00.002+08:00

Dance Rehearsals will start on 6th Jan, Tuesday!

Cheers
Also on the 8th of Jan, there will be a CCA display for the Sec 1s (again, yeah).
Will update you guys on the people involved time of event =)

Adios

Overseas Trip - Dance Exchange

2009-01-01T02:34:00.004+08:00

Dear Verbies,

I have in mind and is in the midst of planning a trip for all to be part of a dance exchange programme with a school in Taiwan. It will be a 4-5 day trip to Taiwan during the march holidays. At this point in time, I would like to seek your favour in asking your parents if they allow you to join this programme. Here are some useful information you may want to share with your parents:

1. 4 -5 days in Taiwan, to visit a secondary school and conduct dance performances, take part in dance classes etc
2. The teacher to student ratio is 1:10. A female teacher will be going along.
3. The original cost of this trip is about $1200. For local students, there will be partial subsidies by the school, which will eventually bring the amount payable down to $850. Students can then pay this $850 through a few ways
(a) Edusave funds (depends on whether there is sufficient amount inside)
(b) Financial Assistance Scheme (for family whose total income is less than $5000)
Base on the above, some students may pay as little as $100 for the entire trip.

Every student in the club is strongly encouraged to go as it is a good exposure in terms of dance as well as culture. I hope to get a confirmation on the 5th of Jan 2009.

In case you or your parents need to seek further clarifications, feel free to call me.
Mr Kong
