New Dance Next Month?

So I *might* be learning EXO's "Growl" next month! I Love Dance is teaching it on Wednesdays at 7 and Fridays at 8 in September and I really want to go! I've talked to L and S about it, and they're both really into it. It's looking like Friday might be the day for us, but it all depends on their schedules. Of course I've got nothing going on ._. It sucks being jobless. But that's a whole other story!

The problem is if they can't go, then I can't go either. It's really not a good idea to walk around NYC at night, as much as I'd still want to go anyway. We'll just have to see how it goes. If everything works out, hopefully once we learn it we can get together and record it, and then I'll finally have a cover up! That'd be great!

I really hope everything works out, because I REEAALLLLYYYYYY want to learn this dance! It looks like it's a lot of fun! But I'll talk more about how much I love it in my next post (that was supposed to come before this one D: ) when I list the new dances I've added to my list. I'm really looking forward to this class, and if we have a good experience I hope to attend more of their classes again!

*I Love Dance has not paid me or anything to talk about them here. I just think that they've got something really awesome going on and I really hope to join them next month*

I'M BACK FROM HIATUS!...SORT OF

Yay I’m back!  Well, kinda.

Gah I’ve been meaning to post this for WEEKS and then when I finally sit down to do it my internet connection fails.  Like, what?  Really??

So, a looooooot has happened since my last post.  But of course, not a lot of dancing happened.  Let’s see, I was extremely busy with school, graduated college, my laptop crashed, I had issues with moving back home, my phone crashed, and I still have yet to take the NCLEX and find a job.  My laptop crashed just 4 days after graduation, and I was really upset because I couldn’t do much of anything.  I wanted to learn new dances, draw (references), and watch all those movies I bought over the past few years but had no time to watch (my dvd player never got hooked up -_-).  I did do some dance while using my phone, but it’s really boring doing the same 5 dances you know really well that you’ve been doing for several years now, and it’s lonely dancing by yourself all the time in a confined space.  I wanted to learn more, especially SNSD’s “I Got A Boy” that I had been watching and memorizing since January.  Sure I could have used my phone, but with a small and also cracked screen, it’s not easy to see, especially the little nuances and small details.  But luckily, I’m back now, I have a new laptop and phone, and I have a test date.  Still no job yet though :/  But that’s another story. 

So since this is a dance blog, I will now talk about dance.  Now that I’m back and don’t have school to worry about, I do hope to use some of my free time to dance.  Luckily my friends are still willing to learn dances with me.  I just need to find the space first :/  That’s always been the main issue.  We’ll just have to see what happens. 

 

Since my last post, I have added a looooot of dances to my list.  I’ve now got 60 (!), and that doesn’t include the songs that I want to choreograph myself/have someone choreograph for me.  I will list them and talk about them in another post because I feel like if I did it here this post would be too messy ><

I’ve also gained a new appreciation for hip hop.  I’ve always liked to watch it, but now I really want to learn so I can do it myself.  I also find myself doing more hip hop dances in my head to ballad-y songs as opposed to the ballet/lyrical/modern route I usually take.  I think it will really be interesting to see now how I choreograph/will want dances choreographed in the future.

I have a lot of ideas for this blog and my dance covers, and I really hope I’ll be able to put them forward.  One thing I really want to do is review the dances I’m learning.  When I pick a new one to learn, I will review it on here before I get started and blog my progress.  I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now, and I wanted to review the ones I’ve already learned, but I just haven’t gotten to it yet.  First there was no time, then I had no laptop.  I wanted to handwrite them, but you know how sometimes when you have to do something, no matter what it is, you just don’t want to do it?  That’s how I felt with the reviews.  But I think the no laptop thing helped with that.  Now that I have one, though, I should have them up soon!  I will be starting with SNSD’s “Gee,” which was my very first KPOP dance.
