So if you've read the About Odoriko page, you'd know that I chose my dances randomly by picking slips out of a cup. If I didn't do it this way I'd be flip flopping from dance to dance, learning only pieces or not learning anything at all. However, this time will be a little different. I've been watching I Got A Boy all weekend (well, dance versions/performances) and I've become obsessed. I can't believe I didn't like the dance when I first saw it. So I'm going to ignore the random selection method and jump right into this one, just like I did with Sexy, Free, and Single over the summer. I feel bad about continuing to neglect Ring Ding Dong, which was the last dance I chose, but I need to learn IGAB NOW!
I wanted to dance over the weekend, but all I did was watch IGAB and Visual Dreams over and over and over again. So today when I came home I decided to do a little of this. However, I spent most of the time trying to figure out how to approach it. See, I'm not very good at hip hop. Apparently I did pretty well during the two years I took it at my dance studio, but learning Kpop boy group dances isn't entirely easy. Everything feels awkward and I'm too stiff. But SNSD's dances are great for me. They're closer to what I'm used to. Or at least the ones I've already learned are. But IGAB is a mix of that and hip hop, so I'm really nervous about this. Also it's really long, almost five minutes. That's a lot of dancing!
Now I really can't focus too much time on dancing this semester because school needs to be everything right now. I NEED to graduate in May. But this is where IGAB can come in. I decided to learn it in very small pieces. Ever since Run Devil Run I'd learn about a minute to a minute and a half at a time, learning the first verse and the first chorus, then the next day learning the next verse. But for IGAB, I plan on learning maybe 20 seconds at a time and focusing on that 20 seconds for the session. With the others, I would take 10-20 seconds to learn, but once I'd perfect them I'd move on. But this time I plan on focusing on these small pieces. It's going to take a long time, but I think it's what I need to do this time. If it works, awesome! Then I'll go back and relearn Lucifer with this method. If not, I'll figure something else out.
So today I went up to 0:25. I was flip flopping between learning Sooyoung's and Yuri's parts to Seohyun's part. I always follow Seohyun when I do SNSD's dances, because when I tried to learn Gee I had a hard time learning it without following one specific girl, so I picked my Seobaby. But I know when I make my own covers I can't do that, so I tried to break that this time. It didn't work very well :/ So I just did both. Seo's part is much easier. I think I'm going to stick with learning her part like usual but I'll later modify everything when I make my covers. Stay tuned.

12/24/12 I Thought I Was Gonna Die, and Why I Need to Stop for a While
Merry Christmas Eve!
So now that I'm about halfway into break, I finally danced today! Mom and I have been so busy preparing for Christmas. We got out of school a week later than usual, and since I flew to Mom's I couldn't buy any gifts beforehand, so we were really pressed for time. I did do some of The Boys one night because I really wanted to dance the chorus. I did it in my room so I wouldn't bother Mom and Ken while they were sleeping, but also because the closet doors have mirrors! I can finally see what I'm doing!
But today I had a major setback. I was really excited to dance here because it's so open and there's a lot of space, and the floor is easy to move around on. However, things didn't go well. I did Mr. Taxi, Oh!, and Gee. At first things were great and I was having fun, but soon I was feeling awful. I don't know if I started too hard or I'm just so out of shape, or both, but I felt like I was going to drop dead. Okay, that may be an exaggeration, but I did feel horrible. After dancing Mr. Taxi and Oh!, I had to lay down for a few minutes to catch my breath. I probably shouldn't have gotten back up to dance Gee, of all dances, but I did anyway. I was fine while I was in the shower, but once I got out I started feeling bad again. My chest felt heavy and my jaw felt weird (that one I can't really explain, but it did. That's only happened one other time), so I just got dressed then laid down on my bed without doing my hair. I just had to lie down and rest my body. After about 10 minutes I was okay to get up and do my hair, and I felt fine the rest of the day, but I don't think I'm going to do any dance for a while. My health already isn't good. I've been having knee problems, and since I've been here I've been having random, minor chest pains. I'm being treated for my knees, but the chest pains are worrying me, so I want to talk to my doctor before doing anything strenuous. Hopefully everything will be fine.

11/4/12 - Busy Busy Busy
So, long time no dance. I've been very busy these past few weekends. I had a peds test to study for, volunteered a few hours at Steeplechase, volunteered at Adopt-a-Highway, and went to a baby shower. And now this weekend I won't have time either and probably won't for a while. I just finished up my community paper today and I'm very tired, so I just want to relax. Things are going to get crazy now until Christmas break, so I won't be posting until then.
10/20/12 - SNSD Weekend
I've been in such an SNSD mood this weekend. Today I did Gee, Oh!, Genie, Run Devil Run, and Mr. Taxi. I also danced to the Japanese versions of Gee, Run Devil Run and Mr. Taxi, since I learned Mr. Taxi with the Korean version. I just love their dances! They're so much fun and closer to the style of dance I'm used to. And the songs are great and fun.
School starts up again next week, so I won't have much time to dance for a while, but I will see what I can do. Sorry for a short post this time, not much new happened today.
10/19/12 - Fall Break!
Yesterday was finally the start of FALL BREAK!!! I have so
much time to dance!...and, work on my ethics paper…I did start it yesterday,
though, and I FINISHED IT TODAY!! Great
day to dance!
So I’ve decided this week that I should really keep
reviewing the stuff I’ve learned this year instead of just continuously
learning new stuff without practicing the old stuff. I know I’ll just wind up forgetting things if
I don’t, which is already happening. I
mainly say this because I noticed I’m practicing Mr. Taxi frequently but not
Don’t Don; Opera; Sexy, Free, and Single; and Lucifer (well, this one is a
different story). But of course I’m
spending break at grandma’s, so I don’t have much privacy. So I did what I do best: SNSD’s dances! I did Gee, Oh!, Genie, Run Devil Run, and Mr.
Taxi. I did Mr. Taxi in Japanese and
Korean for extra practice. I did them
all pretty well except for that one part in the first bridge in Genie that I
keep messing up. I really need to fix
it. Before I did Mr. Taxi I tried to run
through Sexy, Free, and Single. It went
well for the most part until I got to the middle, and then I just embarrassed
myself. I feel bad because it went so
well when I learned it, and I really wanted
to learn it. Next time I dance at home
I’ll review it with the video.
10/7/12 - Mr. Taxi is Just Too Fun
Today is just a review day.
I did Oh! and Run Devil Run again for the fun of it, then reviewed Mr.
Taxi. I could not get enough of this
dance today. I went through it soooo
many times. It was always “Let’s do it
one more time.” “Let’s do it one more
time to make it even.” I did pretty well with the slow part, which surprised
me. I thought I’d totally forget
everything and just screw up, but I actually remembered it all, and it didn’t
feel as awkward and weird as it did yesterday.
I also cleaned up the dance a bit, mainly just figuring out which feet
to pivot on for the 180-degree turns, and that wasn’t bad. The last time I ran through it I wanted to see
how I would do without the video, so I pulled up iTunes, and I decided to play
the Japanese version to really test
me. I did really well without the video
and with a different language. The
Japanese threw me off a little bit in the beginning but I got used to it, and
it went really well. I’ll definitely
continue to do this dance like I do the rest of SNSD’s dances. I need to be like that with the Super Junior
dances now. I really need to practice
Sexy, Free, and Single because I haven’t done it in a while and I want to make
sure I remember how to do it. I remember
how much I wanted to learn that dance, and it would be really bad if I can’t do
it, especially already.
Tomorrow I’ll be picking a new dance and I’ll reveal it on
my next post! Yay! I love picking a new dance! I’m once again
hoping for NU ABO and praying it’s not Warrior, MAMA, or Sherlock! If it is Warrior I’m going to have to put it
off until I have the space to do the drop-down-to-the-floor slide, I have a mat
to do the drop-down-to-the-floor slide, and my joints and muscles are well
enough to do the down-to-the-floor slide.
That dance is just an injury waiting to happen, and the way I’ve been
injuring myself lately, it won’t take long to happen.
10/6/12 - Mr. Taxi Day 4: I Reached My Destination!
I FINALLY FINISHED MR. TAXI!!! Omg, it took long enough!
I started the day off doing Oh!, Gee, and Run Devil Run,
because once again I was in an SNSD mood and I really wanted to do Oh! After Run Devil Run I started on Mr. Taxi.
I went through what I knew so far, and I was surprised I
remembered the new stuff I learned last week.
After that I went on to learn the rest of it. I was got the last chorus before I finished
the slower part. A lot of it is still
similar to the other 2 choruses, I remembered a little from the flash mob I was
in last summer, and the little bit that was left was really easy, though I was
messing up quite a bit. I kept trying to
do the moves from the first 2 choruses because that’s what I’ve been used to,
especially on the “jeukshi jeukshi jeukshi” parts. I think it’s funny because those were the
only parts of the dance I knew when I first started and now I’m messing them
up! I’ll keep working on that
tomorrow. When I really studied the rest
of the slower part, it suddenly looked a lot complicated. I know I use this word a lot, but a lot of
the moves were awkward, and there wasn’t a good part in the music to associate
with some of the moves, so I was getting confused about when I was supposed to
do what. After a certain point though,
it got easier, especially the stuff on the “I don’t wanna say goodbye”/
“Goodbye”/ “Goodbye”/ “Don’t wanna say goodbye-aiee-ah-aiee-ah” parts. After running over it a few times I started
to get the hang of it.
9/29/12 - Mr. Taxi Day 3:
I finally have time to dance this weekend! I already
finished my community paperwork on Thursday and I did most of my peds work
yesterday. All I had to do this morning
was the pathophysiology. I don’t have
too much studying to do because my test isn’t until Wednesday and it’s open
book, and I’m not incredibly worried about music, especially since my professor
told us not to be. Grandma is going out
today so once I get some studying in I’ll take a dance break.
Okay, so first off, I finally went to the orthopedist** on
Tuesday. They took some x-rays, but
everything must’ve been okay because they never said anything about them
again. The physician’s assistant came in
and touched my knees in different spots to see what hurt and where. He thinks it’s patellofemoral syndrome. He gave me a few sheets explaining the
syndrome and exercises for me to do to strengthen the surrounding areas. I’ve only been doing one so far because I
want to start off small and I’m afraid of really hurting my knees. He also gave me a pain reliever that’s used
for arthritis pain. So far I think it’s
been working, which is why I was so concerned that I woke up this morning with
my left knee really hurting, different than usual. It sort of started last night, and I really
felt it in the middle of the night when I got up to use the bathroom, but I
wasn’t too concerned until I got up this morning. It hurt every time I took a step so I started
walking with it bent. I really don’t
know what happened or where it came from since I’m now on pain medication
*shrug*. I was so upset at first because
I knew I was finally going to have time to dance this weekend and now my knee
is hurting. But luckily it went away
pretty quickly, so by 4 I was up and ready to dance!
I’ve been in an SNSD mood today, which is good because I’m
working on an SNSD dance! I was
listening to them when I was finishing up my paperwork this morning. I did Gee, Oh!, Genie, and Run Devil Run
before I worked more on Mr. Taxi. I
decided to use learnkpopdance.com for them too, since I didn’t feel like
bringing my laptop into the computer room to use my iTunes. It was helpful though, because I was able to
catch some things I’ve been messing up on, like a couple of turns in Genie, or
haven’t been able to see in the video I had used to learn the dance, like in
Run Devil Run (they had the video I used but it had been removed because of
copyright stuff). After Run Devil Run, I
moved onto Mr. Taxi.
Ooh boy, did it need a lot of work. I mean, it was to be expected, since I hadn’t
done it in two weeks now, but I had hoped that practicing pieces in the kitchen
and in my head would have helped, but nope.
I haven’t even been able to do it in my head lately! I watched it once then started practicing up
to where I left off with, and for the most part I was able to get it
again. For some reason though, I kept
having issues with the moves on all three “jeukshi jeukshi jeukshi” parts. For the first two, I know what to do but I
kept switching them around, which is what happened when I first started
learning it. And on the third “jeukshi
jeukshi jeukshi”, which is my favorite part of the whole dance, I kept doing
the wrong hips. And it wasn’t like once
or twice, it was almost every time I went through it! AAHHH!
Finally, by the time I was ready to finish for the day, I was doing it
right.
Once I worked all that out I was ready to continue! I went
up to 2:37, which is right in the middle of the slower part. I stopped there because the moves were slow
and simple, but after that the song and moves pick up just a bit, and there are
a lot of moves in there, so I figured let’s wait on that. I also didn’t want to get too into it and
have grandma come home while I was still going!
The dance break wasn’t too bad except for the very beginning. The part on the “Ow!” really got me. I was still confused by the arms, and then
watching Hyoyeon’s legs really had my head spinning. I finally got the arms, but I still don’t
really know what my legs are supposed to be doing *shakes head* I’ll get it
eventually! *determined face* After that
it’s really easy, just an arm swing backward, a kick ball change, then walking
forward while turning the wheel, then some popping, and finally, you guessed
it, stopping and posing! This dance has
too much of that, and Hyoyeon REALLY needs better dances. Come on SM, I know she’s not the best singer
in SNSD, but neither is Shindong in Super Junior, and he gets more screen time
and better dances! Give some screen time
to Hyo! And while you’re at it, give
them some more lines. Okay, rant over!
After that it’s still really easy. The little turn while walking to the side
messed me up at first, but then I realized I should really watch the next parts
I’m about to learn to know what I’m supposed to be doing instead of just
jumping into them right away. Once I
watched it I figured it out, and it was smooth sailing from there! As much as I complain about all the posing, I
really do like this dance a lot, and it’s really fun. I really can’t wait to finish it! I doubt I’ll have time tomorrow though,
because I don’t think grandma is going out anywhere, so I won’t have any
privacy, and I’m not sure about next weekend either, because I have a test next
Monday, and I need to squeeze in time for me to meet with Chelsea about the
SHINee contest. Doubt I’ll win, but I
still want to give it my all!
**To make this post even longer, I don't think I've mentioned the knee pain in previous posts, so I'll post here. My knees have been giving me trouble for a while. I hurt the right one last March and the left one in July, but I didn't do much to either of them. In September they were getting worse so I told my doctor and she referred me to an orthopedist. He first gave me medication that did more harm than good so at my next appointment he referred me for physical therapy. At first it seemed to be helping, but in the past few days they seemed really bad. I could barely get up and down stairs.

9/9/12 - Mr. Taxi Day 2: Back on Track
This morning I woke up with my back hurting slightly. It’s not bad but I hope it doesn’t get
worse. I don’t really think there was
anything to strenuous in what I learned yesterday, so I don’t know where this came
from.
So today went a lot better.
I did remember pretty much everything and I did not want to stop, but I
had to because I had to give my friend one of my old schoolbooks and then we
hung out. I went up to 2:12, which is
through the second chorus. Again, it was
rather easy, and a lot of the beginning was posing. Seohyun’s part on her line is giving me some
trouble though, so I’m going to have to practice it a lot. I also realized that on Yoona’s line in the
chorus, the first line, I had the wrong arms.
The left is supposed to go front and the right is supposed to go back,
and then the switch, but I was doing the opposite, so that’s why the rest of
that part felt really awkward. I’m glad
I figured that out and fixed it. Towards
the end I started doing the arm thing that Sunny does on the third “Mr. Taxi
Taxi Taxi.” It’s rather fun so I’ll
probably keep doing it even though Seohyun doesn’t. I also started looking at the dance break
more to prepare for next weekend. It
doesn’t seem bad, just the first move on the “Ow!” but I’ll figure it out when
I get to it. I’m hoping to finish it
next weekend. The slow part after the
dance break doesn’t look bad either and I know most of the last chorus.
I ran through Sexy, Free, and Single once, without going on
the floor of course. That muscle is
pretty much healed and I don’t want to reinjure it anytime soon. I remembered most of it, which is not what I
wanted, but I ran through the parts that I messed up again and I got them. I should definitely keep practicing it every
week since I only just learned it, and I should also keep practicing Don’t Don
and Opera as well. I hadn’t watched
those enough to have had the dance in my head before I tried them, and I hadn’t
practiced them much since I finished them, though I was still doing Opera into
July. They’re still shaky, so the only
way they’ll get better is if I keep practicing.
I hope to have them down as well as Gee someday! Hopefully I’ll have
time to run through all three even just once each day this weekend in between
studying and paperwork. We shall see~
9/8/12 - Mr. Taxi Day 1: Riding that Taxi to Nowhere
MR. TAXI TAXI TAXI SUTOU/JIGEUM JEUKSHI JEUKSHI JEUKSHI
Yup, SNSD’s Mr. Taxi is next! I’ve been looking forward to this all week! I will be using this video to learn because it is easier to see than the regular dance version.
So for some reason I was having a lot of trouble. I couldn’t get anything and fell into a funky
mood. I was upset because I was looking
forward to learning it all week but I had trouble with everything. What really bothered me about that was that
the dance is so simple! Not too simple
like Mr. Simple and Opera, where it’s too easy it’s hard, but rather it was an
easy simple! I shouldn’t have had
trouble with it! Aahhhh!
Anyway, I went up to 1:10, which is up through the first
chorus. A lot of the beginning is just
simple posing, but right before I was about to finish for the day I realized I
was doing one of them wrong. I had my
weight on the wrong leg. I hope I went
over it enough the right way to remember it tomorrow. We shall see.
I hope I have a more enjoyable session tomorrow.
9/3/12 - Sexy, Free, and Single Day 4: I REALLY Hurt My Leg but I Don't Care, Or Why You Shouldn't Dance When You're Injured
I was able to get in some dance time today and I FINISHED
SEXY, FREE, AND SINGLE!!! I’m so happy!
I feel really good about it and it’s so much fun! It didn’t take long at all to finish the
ending. I wanted to try Eunhyuk’s little
solo today, but I thought it might be better if I learn it at my own pace. I’ll still learn new dances along with
it. I think if I just watch it over and
over and study what he’s doing before I try doing it I should be able to learn
it better. I’ll shoot for Saturday, and
we’ll see how that goes. I’ll wait until
Saturday to pick the next dance as well and will reveal it in that post. I’m hoping for NU ABO and praying it’s not
MAMA, Warrior, or Sherlock!
But of course it’s not a good dance day without hurting
myself, right? The floor choreography is
killing me! My hip area was already
bothering me a bit before I started, then on the last run through I really hurt
it. I managed to finish it out but I
could barely walk after that, and I’m still having trouble. Oh well, it’s all part of dancing. I should be fine by the end of the week.
9/2/12 - Sexy, Free, and Single Day 3: Dancing at Night is Fun
Today I didn’t do too much dancing. Grandma and I went to the mall at about
10:30ish and came back at about 2. By
the time I was done studying dinner was ready, and then I just chilled until
grandma went to bed at 10. I only danced
for about 45 minutes. Since it was late
I didn’t want to do too much.
Tonight I went up to 2:58.
I had trouble after the first count of 8 (normally I don’t use counts
when I learn things on my own but I really don’t know how to describe the move
and it’s an obvious count of 8). I
absolutely hate a lot of arm movements without a lot of footwork. It’s why Opera gave me so much trouble and
why I still haven’t gotten Mr. Simple despite 2 attempts on 2 separate
occasions, so I think that’s why I had trouble with this little part. After doing it a few times I managed to get
it. Hopefully with more practice I can
polish it. Then the rest of what I did
today I already kind of knew. I’ve
known the chorus just from watching the music video over and over again, and I
worked on the ripple a little yesterday, which I already saw how easy it
was. I was really nervous about
switching my feet on the first “Sexy, free, and single” because it looks
complicated even though it’s so simple, but I managed to not trip myself like I
thought I would. It doesn’t feel as
cool as I thought it would though. Maybe
it will with more practice and as I get more comfortable with it.
I pulled a muscle in my hip yesterday the second time I went
down on the floor for the floor choreography.
It didn’t hurt much after that but it was bothering me today. Hopefully it’ll get better soon. And today during the first “Sexy, free, and
single”, on my second run through of the whole dance, I hurt my ankle. I don’t know exactly what happened but
suddenly I felt pain. I finished up to
where I went up to then did another run through one last time. It didn’t really hurt until I got to that
part again, so I think it’ll be alright.
We’ll see how it is tomorrow.
Tomorrow I’m hoping to finish it up, including Eunhyuk’s
little solo. It doesn’t seem too bad so
we’ll try it. Grandma is going out
tomorrow so hopefully I can squeeze in some time between studying for my
community and math tests.
9/1/12 - Sexy, Free, and Single Day 2: Thankful for the Long Weekend
So I took a break from studying to learn more of Sexy, Free,
and Single. I didn’t think I’d get to
learn more today because I’m at my grandma’s house, so I just expected to
review the other dances in my room. But
grandma went to church, so I was able to learn more! I went up to 2:23, again still skipping over
Eunhyuk’s little solo. I didn’t want to
do too much and overwhelm myself, so I just went up to the second chorus. I felt that I knew most of it already just
from watching the music video over and over again, so I didn’t have too much
trouble with anything today. The only
things were the feet in Donghae’s part and the part right after that. During Donghae’s part I kept picking up the
wrong foot for the little hop. It didn’t
feel right picking up my right foot when I went to the right and picking up my
left foot when I went to the left. Doing
it that way made it feel like my body was going back in the other direction
instead of continuing in the same direction.
It took a few tries but by the time I was finished I got it. Let’s see if I can keep doing it right. Then the part right between that and “Uri
time for romance” I had some trouble with.
It didn’t seem that difficult but the camera angles were awkward so I
couldn’t see what they were doing very well.
It still feels very awkward when I do it. Hopefully once I do it a lot it’ll click and
feel a lot less awkward.
I had a fun time dancing today and I hope I can find some
private time to learn more tomorrow between the mall and studying. I have a little over a minute left to learn!
8/26/12 - Gotta Get My Butt Into Gear
So school just started on Thursday, meaning limited dance
time. I decided I’d like to dance for
1-2 hours every Friday and Saturday, if possible. Of course today is Sunday. Yesterday I really needed to go food
shopping, but before that I went to lunch with my roommate and her
parents. We left a little bit later than
I thought we would, and service was very slow.
After shopping I was just exhausted, so I didn’t do any dancing. I know, I’m lazy.
Today I decided to run through all the dances I’ve already
done, except for Lucifer. I really need
to relearn it. I used a tutorial but it
probably wasn’t the best way to go. I
did Gee, Oh!, Genie, and Run Devil Run without the videos as usual, though I
messed up Run Devil Run in a few spots.
I used the videos for Don’t Don and Opera just to refresh my
memory. I remembered a lot more of Don’t
Don than I thought, which was pretty much the whole thing. Opera, though, was a huge mess the first
time. I totally forgot the trio, which I
kind of expected, and I messed up a lot.
But I went through it again and I did much better. I hope to do these every weekend, even if I
don’t do the others, so I can get them into my head. After that I reviewed what I learned last
month of Sexy, Free, and Single. I
remembered everything, which is good because I’ve been doing it in my head ever
since I learned it. I fixed Sungmin’s
part. I don’t know how I couldn’t get it
and got so confused last time. It’s so
easy. I’m glad it clicked so
quickly. After going over that a few
times so I would remember it I learned the next 3 seconds, skipping over
Eunhyuk’s little solo. I’m saving that
for last.
I really can’t wait for next weekend so I can learn more of
it. We have a 3-day weekend, so I’ll
have more time to dance! Hopefully I can

I'M READY TO BINGO!!!!!, Or I Finally Decided to Do This, Plus Sexy, Free, and Single Day 1
Hey guys! Welcome to my first post! I came up with the idea to start a dance blog over the summer, but the only thing stopping me was a name. I am not very creative so I had a hard time coming up with something. So what I did was write my posts in Word so I could have a record of what I did and I could go back later and post them. My first posts will be all of those, starting with the one I wrote on 7/19/12:
I thought of this last week and I’m finally going to do it!
At this point I already have finished SNSD’s Gee, most of
Super Junior’s Bonamana, SNSD’s Oh!, SNSD’s Genie, SNSD’s Run Devil Run,
SHINee’s Lucifer, Super Junior’s Don’t Don, and Super Junior’s Opera, in that order. On Tuesday 7/17 I started learning Super
Junior’s Sexy Free and Single.
I will be using this video to learn, courtesy of learnkpopdance. I went up to 1:35, which is through the first chorus up to the second verse. Let me just say how excited I am to be learning this dance right now. Actually, I can't. I can't put into words how I feel about this dance. It is just so amazing and crazy good. Anyway, I don't think I did too bad. The beginning has a lot of little movements and arm movements and not a lot of footwork, which I don't like, but I seem to have gotten it very well for the first day. I did, however, have trouble with the footwork on Sungmin's part. I don't know what happened, but I just could not get the moves on "Nae saram-a saram-a nal deo mid-eojwo/Nan deudieo" for some reason. It just did not click for me. Hopefully with more practice I'll get it. I cannot wait to finish this dance!
Videos will come later when I have actual space to dance.
