Body jam -29th March 08
Saturday, March 29th, 2008O, time flies, my godbrothers went for the audition, together with Princess E, Shah, Wanda, Benjamin… There were 13 candidates in total. This time, quite number of good dancers, as I heard. Meanwhile, I think clearing the audition is one thing. Doing the workshop is another thing. When we first started, jam 40 batch, I started the worst off, as someone who hardly attend jam, and my freestyle was the only thing that got me through. But irregardless, teaching jam is no easy task for all of us.. maybe i need double effort, its like a catch up thing, especially when I have the injury that I was unable to dance for 3 months,n it took me 6 months over to recover n gain strength.
This is the 3rd month, and I am still struggling with it. I have been offered permanent classes, but I m still thinking if I should take or give to my friend. One part of me, wants to give the slot to her, the other part of me, ..sigh sigh..3 classes and my plan is materialised.
Todays class number was increased to 9 or 10. When I started March 08, the numbers was only two, numbers trickled in. Last week, J came and she brought her sister to try, today she brought another 2 more and a few more walked in. Today’s class was tough to teach. The guy left halfway, he couldnt cope with the Beyonce’s Get Me Bodied, the other one, rested in between the house tracks, it was too tiring for her. A lot of newbies, it was tiring to interact with everyone when teaching.. Continous cues (very basic ones) were given throughout the class. They were constantly giggling when they got the arms wrong though i said, right , left etc etc. It was fun.. a bit of distance travelled, but fulfilling. It was a giggling class today.
Same goes for Tuesday class, I have a new member in my class. A very popular figure. Who has done the cartwheel at Kak Leo’s class.I didnt know it was him, until after the class. I was distracted many times at his performance. He is interesting to have in my class and he said he be coming for my classes in future. I can feel his passion for the dance, music.
