arlow people! :D
first off thanks juniors for the awesome jts :D it was awesome ttm (:
dance night is in 2 months time only! hope you guys have been practising hard! there's only about 10 plus practices for every item you have left, give or take. i hope yall take every practice seriously from now on yea. there's really not much time left.
please try to finish learning and master you choreographies by the end of this month, because that's only the easy part.
the more important part would be learning how to express the music through the dance. and that would take a lot more practising.
i'm sure a lot of you have noticed that zai dance crews look zai in their showcases not only because they are able to execute their moves well, but also to be themselves. for example, the performance by joyce and the boys at the international hip hop competition in USA last year. it was really a breathtaking performance, not only because of the moves, but also seeing the dancers execute the moves as if it were all part of themselves and they were enjoying themselves so much on stage. and our seniors, though their technical skill may be very good, they're really good at being themselves on stage, and i'm sure you agree with me their item last year was really memorable.
i think this is a level all of us have yet to reach. both the j2s and the j1s. for the j2s, from watching out past performances, i get the feeling that we're really boring dancers and we're trying really really hard to remember the moves on stage and it almost seems like we're counting the beats while we're dancing. for the j1s, i haven't seen yall perform yet so i hope yall are better, but do take note of the stuff below anyway.
when we perform, we shouldn't be just doing the routine. we should be
dancing it. put your heart and soul into the dance, and don't think too much about trying to look good in front of the school, or what might happen if you screw up. cause that way, you're bound to look stupid. just listen to the music, and let your body move to the song that you've practised countless times to.
don't be too stiff on stage. relax and move the way the music is making you move, not everyone has to do the choreography exactly the same. we're not robots so don't worry too much.
and also remember to make your movements bigger than normal when you're practising choreography. your movements are gonna seem way smaller on stage. also don't give the "oh i'm not going full out now i'll go full out on stage". every time you practise, make sure you give it your all. it's just like preparing for exams. if you don't practise under exam conditions, how can you hope to score well? so i don't wanna see people slacking off during practices again k :D
oh but this does not mean you don't practise the technical parts of the choreography! these are important as well, as you are doing a performance after all, and you will probably look like some idiot if you end up doing a move completely different from the rest of the dancers on stage. so make sure you get your moves right, then move on to the next level.
dance night is in less than 2 months time! jiayou all we can do this(:
