Feeling a New Dance Life.

Yesterday and the day before I attended Mike Rock's International Streetdance Workshop at MSC.

The first day I came late and good thing I meet Popthin' Minute (Ce Yustine)  directly at the stairs. And she gave me the ID tag and I joined the class. I was late that I was so confused about the opening moves and started learning from the middle. It was a Lyrical Hip Hop Class (groovy). The song was really deep and nice, like "And you, my love, has gone.. So fly away nananana.. To promise you, to promise anyone" but it was too fast for me and I couldn't follow it well. I always looked at D-Phobia Minute (Doni) and asked him a lot. And then I danced barely and the session ended with.. A painting session. It's a session where everyone should get a pose, and Mike dances first, then he'd touch a person and the person who posed should dance freestyle, and then he will touch the next person to freestyle, and then next, next, next. Geez, I krumped with just bang bang bang!
And then the 2nd session started. It was Hip Drop Class. This time, Ichel, Chachia, and Ju_Ju came in the middle of the class and I moved from near D-Phobia and Pig Minute (Ko Leo) to their side. Then I watched Chachia and she's still an oh so cool streetdancer for me. Ju_Ju too. The Hip Drop Class was worse for me than the 1st class 'cuz it's WAAAAY faster. Then... Freestyle again! I krumped again but it felt not right. I should've bust my electric and isolation move :(
And then break time again. Me, Chachia, and Ichel ate a bad fried rice and chatted a lot. I feel a bit closer to them since we joked a lot. But still, they're a lot better than me -.-. Then, I was so curious that I asked them.. "Does AOG's choreo is as hard as this hip drop one??" And good thing they directly said "NO LAAA!! =___=" Phew.. I thought my life was done. Haha
The 3rd session class started.. L.A. Style Class. It's a really good class and the moves are sooooo enjoyable and I can keep up well. :D The music was like, "I got a Gucci on my shoes (shoes). Ice around my neck. Ooh c'mon girl and bla3'" It was  really a smooth dance. And it ended with freestlye again. Someone touched Ichel and she danced directly to the front and freestyled in front of the mirror where everyone can watch her. I thought, "Oh no. Ichel maybe will touch me. Or if not, she'll touch Ju_Ju and Ju_Ju will touch me. Or Chachia." Oh God! I was really nervous then b'cuz after that Ichel touched Ju_Ju went to the front too, and then Chachia too! And suddenly Chachia..touched me!! And God I was so confused and I automatically moved to the front cuz every AOG member did. In front, I krumped at first, then when the music sang "Lalalalalala~" I waved all the part of my body and then everyone applaused me!! > < Good thing it is! But after that I went blank and I isolated and then went back and touched MG Minute. Whew.. But it's still a good thing that I matched my dance with the music ^^

2nd Day.
I came alone. All alone. I got no friends there. Well, I got Miss_B (ce Linda),  D-Phobia, and the others actually but they're gathering with the whole Last Minute Crew and I won't be inside. I'm still a newcomer student for them =_=" Then I tried to talk and befriended with a guy named Samuel. Well, my first new friend in this workshop :D Haha.. The first class is House Class. It's similiar to b-boy and I danced like a b-boy then ko Leo told me I should like bouncing instead of actually toprocking. Well, then I couldn't do the bouncing thing cuz I got used to toprocking already. (City Warrior's ex-student, duh) When I thought the class is over Mike added some moves with all the king tutting and I really loved it!  And then the session ended..with no freestyle.
The 2nd session was an L.A. Style Class again but Mike combined it with lyrical hip hop. We learned the moves for the song like Michael Jackson's song which says "So I say thank you in my eyes. Ooh baby. Her (ooh!)" Like that. Mike wanted us to absorb the deep song's meaning. Yeah.. Dance with the heart of the music. But we couldn't do well. So Mike gave us another 2nd song, the fully lyrical hip hop one. Pixie Lott's song. The song was soooo deeep and sad like "I've been waiting around and looking around you're all I see.. Nanananana......... You know that I can use somebody..Yeah.. You know that I can use somebody.. Yeah.." It was so deep that I danced with heart, even though my skill isn't that high, but I really wanted to burst dancing with this song.
Before the 3rd class I ate alone. Whew..

3rd class, Hip Drop Class.
Whoa! Hip Drop again! Nah way, I thought it will be like the day before where it's crazily fast and thing but it wasn't!! As Mike said, it was a magic dance and it was so smooth and I LOVED IT SO MUCH. The dance was so enjoyable and I seriously danced and absorbed the music's heart. I learned from MG Minute alot. She's a kind and good streetdancer :) Whoa, the dance was so meaningful. The music was full of piano tones where the move will be like playing piano, slow-mo, and the "whoosh" effect. Wow.. It was a spectacular and tremendous streetdance..

Then after the dance we took photos with Mike Rock and prayed for him and said that we love him and he cried. It was a dramatic farewell. Then me and Miss_B took photos with him (Karin Jolie Minute took it! :D) and said goodbye..

Whew.. I learned a real lot of things from these 2 days. Really lot. About my streetdance life, social life, and my life itself. My dance skill boosted too and I thank God I can join this workshop. Thanks God you gave me the opportunity..
Tomorrow there will be an AoG practice and Blank Minute (Kak Sem) told me to come. Kay.. I hope I can dance well with the whole AOG crew.. My new streetdance life starts.. ^^
