I just chanced upon this video, the group from Kuala Krai Tanah Merah Kelantan performed Hare Ram during a Chinese wedding dinner! I’m so amused and glad and really think they should come and perform during my wedding too! Haha, when the time comes, that is :-)

Here’s the video clip:

No More, No More dance with I’m Yours (radio edit) September 23, 2008

The dance No More, No More is choreographed to the accoustic music of I’m Yours (Jason Mraz). After finalizing the dance, I realised that there’s another version of the same song called the Radio Edit. Compared to the accoustic version, the radio edit version has more musical instruments and background singers and is also very nice.  Some prefer the accoustic version, while some prefer the radio edit. I love both :-)

I’ve tried out the dance with the radio edit song.  The song is shorter and has a shorter intro (4×8).  Every step is an exact fit to the radio edit song, except, the 8 count then restart part. The radio edit version has NO BEATS during this 8 counts, so dancing the 8 counts will be weird.

To make both dances consistent with each other, I’ve done some variations should you prefer to dance to the radio edit version:

1.  Instead of the 8 count then restart, do a 8 count tag instead. After completing the 3rd wall (facing 3:00), simply do a 1/4 turn right by stepping RF to the right side on count 1 and hold till count 8.  (facing 6:00) Remember there’re no beats here, so enjoy this 8 count pause! :-D You may opt to raise both arms at the sides slowly over the eight counts. Get creative. After the 8 count, restart the whole dance again.

2.  As the radio edit song is shorter, the dance will end on count 32 while facing 3:00. That is after you finish doing the “Point, Touch, Point, Touch”. Jason will then sing the last “I’m Yours”. To fit with the lyrics, do a 1/4 turn left stepping your LF forward. At the same time, bring both palms in front of your chest and open out your arms towards the front in the gesture of “I’m Yours”.

Haha, for a clearer picture, check out the video ;-)

Here’s the release of my new dance called Johnny’s Girl, choreographed to Johnny Tillotson’s Judy, Judy, Judy.

I’ve just uploaded the finalised stepsheet to Yipee and Kickit and it should be processing now. So here’s the stepsheet:

I’ve not been able to take a video yet as there were some problems with my camera. Do try out this dance as it’s cute. I like the prissy walks and twists and it goes well with the music and lyrics. ;-)

Haha, somehow I felt like a factory, a dance factory, that is.

Cos I got a new dance coming! Barely a month, since No More, No More, here’s another one coming soon!

The new one is choreographed to an oldie song by Johnny Tillotson. I’ve yet to decide on the name, so will keep the song title a secret first :-P

The dance was specially requested by CK Lim, who sent me the song. As the song is quite straight forward, I’ve managed to put together the steps in half hour.  I hope Lim and her gang will enjoy dancing to this dance as it is written specially for them :-) It’s rated high beginner.

Will put up the dance, as soon as I get it finalised! It’s in the process of proof-reading! ;-) Watch out!

UPDATE: Here’s the video:

The video has been taken and edited, at long last after 2 years since the choreography! I’ll upload it here shortly as it’s still being processed in youtube. Thanks to the girls of my Thursday class who are all so supporting and uniformly wearing black tops and three quarter black pants… we look really good :-) Too bad Karen had to leave after the first take, but there’s still next time ;-) .

New Look September 9, 2008

Dance-log with a new look!

I’ve changed the layout from a 3 column to a 2 column. Although I much prefer the 3 column layout, as I can the presentation is much neater, but I got to make do with a 2 column one. Reason being, the side bar for 2 column layout is wider. The numerous ppl who chatted with me on meebo, although liking the fact that they could chat with me online privately, one third of the chat box is blocked because Meebo Me has a fixed width and the side bar provided is too narrow! So many a times, they can’t read what I typed.

Anyway, I hope the new look’s text is not too small to read! Do give me your feedback on this new look! Enjoy and keep on dancing!

UPDATE: I just changed the header too! Tried out my hands with some ‘illustration’ using Paint.net. Not bad for a first timer! ;-)

Can’t manage to change the font to darker or font size bigger.  I’ll need to pay to upgrade to that level. :-(
