Hello readers. Today is a Saturday, which means there was a Dance Club practice today. The venue for 10th April 2010 was in the Auditorium, and we were joined by lots of new members! I apologize beforehand for the lack of pictures because of some technical difficulties, but look out for pictures in an update soon, okay?
Basically what we did today was just teaching the new members the basics of dancing.
We started today's meeting by offering the members some food and drinks for them to relax before we played "Charade" with them.
After the game, the seniors showed the members some of the things that will be taught in Swinburne Dance Club as they go along, and it was first led by Keong's Popping, followed by Ernest's style of Popping. Jude was next to show us what breakdance was, and Daniel joined in to further open our eyes about what breakdance really is.
Ife & Ernest then closed the show with their Nigerian style of Hip-Hop, which was well-received by the members as cheers and laughter could be heard all around the Auditorium.
After that, the seniors performed a short routine for the new members. That would be what they would be learning today. The new members were then asked to stand next to each other to form lines in order to get down to business.
The new members were exposed to what "Spinning" and "Hop & Step" were. All of them are really fast-learners! =)
After teaching them what "Spinning" and "Hop & Step" were, Ife coached them step-by-step how the routine should go. But unfortunately, due to time constraints, instead of the full 32-beat routine, we could only manage to teach up to 16-beats.
We would be continuing our final 16-beats next week, and hopefully we'll see the videos & pictures by then. =)
Cheers~
