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.
