MAD DOG BARKED AGAIN

the mad dog BMF barked again with her friend, BFW, tired, need a nap, will continue this posting when i have time.

CON'T ......... hi there, can't believe it's been a week already, there was an incident happened in the class last wednesday; oh well, not to repeat it, you'll get bored coz. incidents repeat over and over, and the BMF plays the same tricks ...

BMF, criticizing my beats & steps, take the following instructions :
i. take a moment to watch my dance videos in youtube, check beats in the dance part and steps in the walk through part;
ii. don't get it ? make yourself dance in front of a big mirror to check your own counts & steps, if you find yours are off beat & cheating steps (as you quoted others), then you know what is mirror image and your eyes & ears are perfect;
iii. still don't see your problems ? take a video of your own dance and show it in public, you'll get the impartial comments from outsiders
SIGH, too bad you don't understand what i'm talking about =O

glad to receive positive comments from foreign instructors/ choreographers, comments from peers are treasure and i will keep up my work, for the haters, sure you will be disappointed

WHAT DANCE I LIKE THE MOST ?

3 dances that i like recently :

Paloma 2009 - a very cute dance; and my dress was a tight lean dress but i thought it was too plain so i put on the tutu and the outcome was great, have bought lots of beautiful outfit for videos; why don't i wear them everyday ? well, just not use to since i became an instructor, i feel like i'm selling my technique but not what i wear, you may agree or not agree, that's what i think =)

Break your heart - a great dance, don't know why it's not that popular; i love it whenever i looked at my video collections, SIGH, now dance running so fast, it appears, then it's gone. what a waste on such a beautiful dance, it was by Shaz Walton, personal opinion, i think it's lot better than 'Beautiful' ;P

Big Girl Now - my latest own choreography, of course have to mention it, i spent very little time on this one but the outcome was great, knew that other group did my dance and posted in their website, very happy =D

Uplodes in YouTube

hi dear, i have uploaded many demos with dance & walk through in youtube, if you click the title, you will be directed to the dance :

Why So Serious - fun dance, i like the 4 counts alarm tag, good settings;

Playing With Fire - good dance, lots of dancers like it;

And I Rumba 2 - mike's new dance, recall my rumba steps, very feminine;

010101 - Jo Thompson's 2001 dance, she taught it again in windy city;

Straight Thru .... - ok lah but love to do the walk through, kind of complicated so i have to be very detailed, love to talk detailed =)

Break The Dawn - 2009 Windy City Line Dance Mania, Professional Choreography Competition 2nd Winning Dance; very new, why didn't i do the 1st winning one ? coz. i like this one better =)

Little Rumba - i taught in tuesday nite class and the novice looks like having difficulties to do the dance, so i called out the cue then they get to follow my instructions;

The Kinser Influence - easy version of 'bad influence', also taught in windy city, it was so new that i even had to submit my dance with the step sheet, tried out in sunday class, students picked up fast and had fun, great =D

Paloma 2009 - a line dance instructor in LA sent me the material and asked if i want to do the dance demo, i listened to the song, oh my, very good song, so i did it the next day, very very interesting dance, you should try it out .....

so, that's all about it, checking a few new dances but will be busy in the coming days, will go party tomorrow nite, classes in the week, halloween party next saturday; SIGH, hate to see BMF, she bugs me every time in the party, have to remind myself 'be taugh, be taugh' .....
if you go to winne's party, i'll meet you there, but i'll be very late, wait till kids come back for the trick or treat ..... late is better than never, SEE YA

YOU WON'T GIVE ME A BREAK, WHY SHOULD I ???

BMF (bad mouth fly) - keep your bad mouth shut

can't believe she's still the same no matter how old she is and how much she grows older

i didn't care of her for long time
very busy since last friday until this moment,
my body is aching but can't stop my anger to write her before i go to bed

what i did last saturday :
sent kids to chinese school; picked up my mom; went to shopping mall to exchange a tank top; did grocery shopping; bought lunch; went home prepared the soup; picked up kids; had lunch at home; drove kids to abacus; had a line dancing open house in unionville high school;

then my kids off from abacus, i went to winnie's afternoon party with TWO kids, what i thought was i like my instructor, just want to show up to show my respect, once i arrived, they danced the 'roll with the wind', i haven't even sat still so i didn't dance, then she yielded out with her damn voice
(so easy and you don't know the dance).

let me tell you
i dance when i want to, i don't dance when i don't want to
i'm not you, you have no choice, you have to do whenever your 'boss' tell you to do so, oh, almost forget, you still DO even when your boss tell you not to

BMF, you'll be forever like this, keep this way to think you are the best, wish you be happy all the times with your outstanding outfits until ....

OH, MY DEAR ......

can't believe it's been 2 weeks from my last post =O
busy busy, don't think i forget my blog, i didn't but have no time to write, give me 2 more days and hopefully, i'll be free to write details in the following topics :

- i was overwhelmed by the responses of the open house of my tuesday nite class, 30 students signed up the class;
- did some dance demos, will post out each link; you can go direct to my youtube channel : rclinedanz and check out all the demos;
- went to a wedding this afternoon after the dance class;
- will have another open house tomorrow;
- will go to a ball for tony's business, he will be upstage and be presented a plaque for the years' support to the event;
on & on & on, so much happenings ........

my dear friends & students, sure you feel my happiness LOLOLOL
BMF, we still meet in some classes at the same time, but my eyes don't see her much only when she plays those tricks, i.e. yield out the cue; exgerate body rolls like cramping; bugging others for beats too fast; it's alright, same old tricks .......
will detail the above later, stay tuned ........

HAPPY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL

happy mid-autumn festival everyone, hope you had a great evening =)

i have received a good present for this festival, had received an email from an oversea's line dancer/instructor, who complimented my dance style & technique; very happy, who doesn't like to be praised but the point is i have been struggle & strike back for over a year, like the holy war, fighting on my own, thanks to my family & students' support, i still survive till now.

things happen on & on, never stop, good and bad, but, wait a minutes, isn't that life : ups & downs, like comfy walk on beach sand and bare feet walk on stones, those make life fascinating .... i still have hard feeling and hard times from someone but with the kind words from my students, how they learnt from others before and didn't like line dancing until now they like my way of teaching with technique and details, that's worth to suffer from those 'unnecessary friends & enemies'.

i will run another trial lesson in a short while and have one more class on saturdays, same like last trial, depends on the majority and start the lessons. to me, i run from beginners to advance classes, any level fits me perfectly as long as i get to dance with my students; i'm now focusing to teach them with my heart, looking forward one day they dare to dance with me with no fear no hesitations ..........

my dear students, i will wait, even if it takes forever, i will wait ..... (quiz : lyric of a song, tell me if you know =D)
millions thanks to my very very good friends, audrey & mike
and my students, i love you all
