further - my new dance - Only Girl

this is just a sudden.
when stefi listened to the song and asked me if i like it, i told her 'no'.

then i listen to the radio, i hear it at least 2 times every hour in 2 stations; then i think, huumm, it's really not bad though. so i just made up some steps and danced with my students, outcome was good. hope you like it.

ONLY GIRL - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWr7kQCInRo

Enjoy the dance =)) Happy Dancing \:D/

christmas is getting closer & closer

it scares me a bit, how come the time flies so fast ?

jonjon got the newest iPod, stefi got the biggest size iPad, at the same time, i'm still using my outdated sony cel. phone and 2nd generation iPod and non HD canon camera, hahahaha, i know, even my computer is outdated with the limited editing program, that's why you see my videos with standard editing, no graphics.

i'm planning to do the 'JibJab' holiday dance again, will do it next week.

December 1, 2010

can't believe december starts today, haven't prepared anything, shopping, ahah, gift, ahah, christmas letter, ahah, i used to write a long christmas letter for friends & families each year updates my family, ahah, no more no more. too busy and nothing to write, kids grow bigger, in which grade, what they are learning after school; tony keeps busy, where we went for vacation, every year the same, me, same lah.

it's pro and con, since i line dance, i turned so happy and got no time to get depress; the other way, i'm not interested in anything, don't want to leave for vacation.

kids just get used to my dancing life; tony ? not yet, still piss or cold war or mad for my line dancing, sometimes is tired. i even think of should i give up, it's not that easy, road is hard & difficult, from recruit to keep students, not that i like to do, be honest, i don't like to please others, i just love to be myself and let you see the 'real me'

200%, i love to dance and love to teach, when i see the students' progress, when i dance with them, that's priceless, speechless BUT other than those, especially administration, borders me a bit :P

had 2 lessons last nite, now get ready to go class, talk to you later.
with love
regina XOXOXOX

hi there, i'm still alive =D

did i forget the blog, of course not, but i was a bit down in october, what about it ? mostly line dancing, i've told you my life is pretty flat out of line dance, take care of kids, in and out between home and studio, ooops shopping & beauty spa too, haha, not much =))

in october, all a sudden, things turned upside down, a bit upset; could be too much work, too tired. whenever i get stuck, i leave it to god, i know he'll show me the way, luckily, same this time, things back to normal, gradually.
you may say i'm 'ah Q' spirit to think it that way, but whatelse can i do when things are not under my control ?? huh ??

anyway, thanks to my students' support, some return to class, some bring in new students; thanks to my dance friends/students continuous support and god's taking care of me, i'm fine now.

you'll see me keep doing my dance demos, please visit my youtube channel : rclinedance, rclinedanz2 often; hope you like my videos and please share them with your friends.

talk to you later. you take good care.

HAPPY FALL

aiya, halloween's only a week from now, can't believe the summer ran so fast, next year will catch it tight ...

all my new classes started, the number of students are good, guess my teaching skills getting better or the students' level are higher; both basic beginners and beginenrs classes are doing great, students pick up so fast and well, i've also up the high beginners to intermediate level. look forward to do higher level dances with the students.

when i taught 'J HoAB' in the UHS basic beginners class, that was their 2nd lesson but they did so well; and i was really happy when the students picked up the dance and showed their excitment, that's speechless and priceless, and that's also the reason why i love to teach, i love to see the happy faces of my students LOLOL

getting sleepy, have to go to sleep, have 3 classes tomorrow, ZZZzzzzzzz

HAPPY BELATED THANKSGIVING

hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving long weekend. i had classes on sat., sun., & mon. during the long weekend; thanks to my students, they are same crazy in dancing like me to continue the lessons.

i ate a lot in the thanksgiving day, turkey, beef and vegi, and deserts. i have gained 7 pounds since my brother came in august and weight never go back down. oh well, i'll watch my diet later, later, and later ... LOLOL

my second co-choreographed dance, Over it (Cry Baby) with Sebastiaan Holtland, NL was launched last friday, we got good responses. so far i have good relationship with the co-choreographers.

tuesday, no lesson today, there's a new dance released yesterday, i wanted to do the demo but can't, loads of work at home, my husband started complaining (well actually, his complains never stops on my line dancing ;P)
SO, i have to hold my horse and not to do the demo, i'm sure it will be popular, oh well, i'll dance it at home to entertain myself

take care everyone, you have a wonderful day =D

HAPPY BELATED MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL =D

moon cake - i didn't like it when i was young, thought that was soooo old fashion; then we migrated here and mom started to buy from 'Kim Moon', an old style chinese bakery in china town, then i think 'huumm, not too bad'.

could be i'm getting old, could be a matter of feeling, that became an event for me to drive mom downtown every year to buy several boxes of fresh order made '4 eggs in 1 moon cake'. YES, i eat 4 eggs, so 2 boxes of 4 cakes @ with 4 eggs; i eat over 32 eggs in september. cholesterol, could be a problem, i'll do more dancing to burn it .....

i had 2 classes today, reviewed 1 dance & taught 2 dances in the morning itnermediate class, good that students like them, i'm happy when they like my good picks

HAPPY DANCING \:D/

LOBSTER SUMMER

without BMF & BFW, life is so bored, hahahaha, i know, you are cursing on me; hey, don't forget BMF's best friend, alwaysbedere ...... oh well, she doesn't need to spend so much time at home so she likes to stick her nose to others' butt .....

my brother has conferences in the universities and visiting us with his wife; they both like lobsters so we keep eating feasts ..... 8 lbs lobster feast, steaks, 9 lbs king crab .... too tempting. i have eczema, not supposed to eat seafood, who says ? i join the group with the medicine along side and my skin so bad like ..... hummm, sand paper or alligator skin

i should consider making an 'alligator dance' ....

DANCE - i co-choreographed with sue ann an easy intermediate dance - my first kiss, that was great, got good feedback, also feel like having company to work/dance with ....

still working on some projects, stay tuned ....
HAVE A WONDERFUL SUMMER

Friday, August 6, 2010

WOW, WHAT'S HAPPENING ???!!!

2 years ago, when my instructor wanted to train me as one of her assistants, i got all the bad treated from a few members of her group; then i started my own line dance class out of her group, then the 'few members' cursing me betrayed my instructor bla bla bla .....

nowaday, world changed, to what ? SIGH, still the 'few members' think i'm so good & lucky to have my own classes, i do & teach on my own will, get to choose dance to teach; WHAT, heehee, yes ........

BMF left the group, i knew it 2 weeks ago, waited and waited for the confirmation, and BFW is leaving for good ....

I WISH THEM ALL THE _____ ....... filling the blank, you figure out =P

SO, i don't and can't care of them too much, i'm in some projects and thanks to my students & assistants support me, i'll keep going ..... holding on to my line dance dream

love you all except the 'few members' ...... =D

Friday, July 30, 2010

HI THERE

GREETINGS

hi there, how are you ?

if you are my dance friends/students, then you know i have lots of videos posted up in youtube. i was too busy in june so i taped only a few, then keep doing tapes after the parties.

thanks to my againsters, since some words about my 'hand movements' in flashdance, then i do lots to show them 'what is dancing with the whole body' =O

the most i like are :
'love is blue' - danced a bit stiff coz. the shoes and hard to meet the choreographer, mike's demand, he's very precise and makes me nervous, always dance better after the dance demos :P
i showed the dance to my classes, love it a lot, hope you also enjoy it =D

'everything i do' - my advance students usually pick what they want to learn then i teach, do i spoil them ? no lah ! i take it like training, i can only prepare the material on sunday late nite when everyone goes to sleep, before i go to the class the next morning, it is kind of test, i love the way to push myself :-?. i taught 2 dances that morning, i took the video but didn't intend to post out, then i see everyone enjoyed the dance a lot, so decided to post out just the dance without walk through, there are many demos out there already.

other than a bit stiff in 'love is blue', i'm happy with both demos, want to show them how beautiful can be a dance when you dance with 'heart' but not only feet.

by the way, next week will be my last week in the studio, it has been sold, sure you and I will miss the beautiful background and the chandelier.

stay tuned. =D

PHEW, PARTIES OVER

4 parties in 8 days

JUNE 19 - Crystal Gala 2010 hosted by Toronto Elegant Lions' Club in Sheraton Parkway Hotel. Met lots of friends in the gala, i love the atmosphere with pretty girls in beautiful gowns. i felf so pretty when i danced 'Waltz II' in the evening dress.

JUNE 22 - a review party in the class, students brought in the food. we did most of the dances i taught in this session; food are great, as usual, some are home made, the are the best =D

Did demos of 'Blue Rose Is' and 'Flashdance' with my students.

JUNE 25 - thanks to Bonnie Wan invited me to lead line dance at Michael Lai Art Centre anniversary event; i went with Tony and about 20 students, together with the table of Amy from In Beauty Spa, which was a big company.

i led the line dance part in the event, thanks to my students and the guests accompanied me, that was awesome and my students danced so great, i'm very proud of them.

sorry guys, i'm too busy and got no time to edit and upload the videos, will do it in due course
click the highlited flashdance and cha cha below, you get to see the videos of our performance =)

i had a line dance performance of 'flashdance' with my students, right before we started the dance; the MC asked if i could do one more dance coz. Bonnie needed more time to change for her ballroom performance; so we decided to dance 'cha cha' right at the spot, that was great even we didn't do the rehearsal before.

the nite was great, earned lots of compliments.

i was very lucky to get the prizes, there were 3 table prizes and i won 2. tony bought some raffle tickets and we won 2 prizes one was the big prize.

THANKS TO TONY AND MY STUDENTS STAND BY ME,

I HAD A GREAT MEMORY NITE.





JUNE 26 - a wedding banquet in Hilton Hotel.











Tuesday, June 15, 2010

con'd Flashdance =)

further to my previous post

Trouble Is - my new dance demo, i got 3 versions of the script before i took the video
Flashdance - i found 3 versions from different dance sites

in case you don't know there is a part of intro to do the steps & handmovement
in case you don't know there are different scripts in the dance websites
in case you didn't read the description of my dance demo
in case you just started to source dances on your own without your instructor's assistance

lesson #2
the world changed, the trend changed, there could be several versions of one dance; some choreographers like to revise their script on & on & on, it is hard for the dancers to find out which one is final. the outcome ?
you can wait for a year then the script can be steel firmed, no one care if you do it right or wrong =D
or dance it fast like me, give a chance to your againsters/haters to attack you

i slept around 4:00 a.m. this morning for 3 hours, now have to go back to sleep

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND =)
HAPPY DANCING \:D/

Feedback for Flashdance =)

FLASHDANCE

First, i would like to thank you for watching my demo
Secondly, thanks for the compliment from mike, the choreographer, several instructors from vancouver (tim), LA (linda), malaysia (michelle), singapore (cecilia) and a very good friend, who's also an instructor from Hawaii (auj)

as mentioned in my dance descriptions in youtube then you know there are different versions of the script - i) copperknob; ii) yipee iii) the choreographer's site.
thanks to mike taylor sent me the 'official script' which was downloaded from the choreographer’s site

from her site, i learnt that she's is a very experienced dancer and started line dancing several years ago. of course I admire her; she started her dance career long ago not like us, gave birth, raised the kids, became a 'sei lai' and started line dancing.

there was a feedback of the dance that i have to bring up here, a comment about our hand movements in the intro of our video; an instructor from my instructor's dance group commented the hand movements weren't in the script and 'WRONG' =O

oh, does the script say 'tie your hands at the back' and walk out the steps like walking ?

thanks to my friend reminded me, your dance group have 'added' to - things that were NOT on the script, i.e. 'am i ?' with the arm movements - they are not in the script; wooly bully diagonal shuffles instead of forward... AND your boss's own dance - 2 butterflies, the rock recover, side receover with hand movements, you better not to say she's wrong or she'll fire YOU =D

watch Rachael McEnaney in her own dance - Sentimental, note her body & hand movements, my gosh, a piece of art, i never felt the beauty when i learnt the dance until i watched her. we, are far from there, learn more, feel more, dance more WITH THE HEART .....

there're lots of knowledge about music, dance, hand movements, can't teach you all here, that worth money unless you pay and join my class; listen to the music - let it 'speak' to you.. go with the flow as they say (not with 'everybody else' - but with the music)

SIGH, i'm happy for you coz. your student same naive like you and listened to you, other than that .......
my only advice - NOT JUST WALK OUT THE STEPS and call that 'dancing'

HAPPY DANCING \:D/.......
Have a wonderful day =D

TO MY ONE STAR VIEWER

i admire your persistance to keep watching my videos and rate me the ONE star
DAMN YOU very much for the view count anyway

a wish to your students, don't dance like you;
and don't talk like you

Tuesday, May 25, 2010

FLASHDANCE

Flashdance - my new dance demo, mike taylor promoted the dance on sunday, i printed out and checked at nite, hummm, wait a minute, the script was totally different from the choreographer's video; i then checked another website, mamamia, another version !!!

then i thought, that's ok, same like 'push it up', as long as there's a video, i can do it, then mike sent me the 'official script' the next morning, SIGH, what is official and what is unofficial ??? anyway, steps are still a bit different but 95% close to the choreographer's video

yesterday was victoria day, a statuary holiday, tony was home, i had to run home after class to have lunch with the family and i got no chance to go back to the studio to take a better dance / walk through video =(

anyway and anyhow, that's how the dance came out, hope you enjoy it

you have a wonderful day =D

A BIG THANK YOU

My dear dance students,

A BIG THANK YOU for joining my BD party last Sunday !
Also for bringing in all the delicious food.

Look forward to dancing with you in the upcoming parties
Hope to see you again in my next BD PARTIES and the ones after…..

It was a blast! Thank you.

sorry to my dance friends that i didn't invite you, i held my BD party in the studio and the space is limited so i can only invited my students, that was a great night with all my students. another surprise - my husband, tony, and the kids also came to cut the birthday cake with me.

i ordered my favourite cake, black forest, and 2 more cakes from the students; other students bring in lots of delicious food, especially those home made ones; we spent lots of time to take pictures, enjoyed the food and lucky draws. thanks to my student's sponsor for the prizes and congrat to those who won the prizes.

thanks to some students' praised & complimented me in the party, now tony knows i'm serious in teaching and that's not an easy way as he thought that i just dance/move around, he also impressed to the students' appreciation; i can see he's happy that i got so much support from the students and he will let me spend a bit more time in teaching, this is really a big BIRTHDAY PRESENT to me

thanks again for the students who joined me and those who couldn't join me this time, hope to see you next years and the followings ......


HAPPY DANCING \;D/ ......

Friday, May 14, 2010

hi there

it's been awhile, i have been sick for weeks, no big matter, just flu & cough, on & on like a never ending story .........
i tried everything, no help; last sunday, i gave 2 lessons in the morning, then 2 lessons on monday, i lost my voice, i finally took the last step, went see doctor and got the antibiotics, feel much better now ......

my sister visited toronto from maryland 3 weeks ago, i drove her to the airport for going back home today, i miss her a bit; these weeks, we didn't do much both together coz. i was sick and she was busy in her projects.

she's a freelance translator; she left many years ago to get her master degree in states, then married an american and stays in maryland. good that she comes back here once every year to file her tax return and body check and so & so, then i get to see my lovely sister once a year ....

my brother is coming in august for meetings, he has a doctor degree in business administration, a professor in the university, holding chairs of several worldwide academic programs. he runs academic conferences around the world, i always say he works like a tour guy more than a professor, indeed, he teaches very little in a year, more in talks and conferences

another brother in australia, a physiotherapist specialized in kids' area.

me, major was legal administration, was appointed by the law firm be an executor to take oaths; i got the less education amongst my siblings, but they all say i'm smart, clever, sweet .... heeheehee, just kidding, i quote myself 'the black sheep in the family' and i think my mom is proud of us, we all have strength in different area

may is a bit quiet, i will get busy in june
stay tuned for my moves =D

15002 view hits

can't believe my blog meter reached 15002

when I started, i made this blog to release the steam from BMF & BFW
didn't expect to generate so many readers, glad that they are getting well known; especially BMF says she's proud of being 'well known' like 'Edison Chen', a bad reputation star in hong kong

BFW told her friends/students she knows the meaning of BFW, so, what ? that's a humble calling not the courtesy to you but to keep my manners in my blog, if you wish me call you 'little’ instead of ‘big’, i can change it to LFW (how's that ?) =D

my viewers, come back in a month time from now, i need to think about my future steps. quoted BFM aka LFM, i'm a conspired person and well planned and know how to promote myself =P

My new dance

i did 'give me one reason' last year; this time when i confirmed my birthday party then i thought what to teach in the party, ok, i'll make one

actually, my classes tried the new dance already, most students like it, it's in pop music, lots of dances in the same song, just another one came out recently, PHEW, steps are totally different

my students warned me i should post out ASAP
oh well, wait till my birthday month

Tuesday, April 27, 2010

hello there

my birthday is coming up in may, will have a birthday party, just confirmed, have to prepare lots of things, my assistant is in hong kong so i have to get help from other students

why i care of my BD this year ? there were incidents happened 2 years ago related to BMF & BFW, i mentioned a bit in my last year post, so not to repeat again

anyway, thanks to both of them and a couple of their friends i.e. alwaysbdere
without them, i won't work that hard to achieve my goal =D
from them, i get examples to teach my students :-??
heehee, you know what i mean =O

now have to cook before i go for the 2 classes tonite, stay tuned =D

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

MY VIDEOS

further to my march 30th post, don't think that i'm complacent of what i did; in all the videos i posted in youtube, i only like a few

i'm training myself to reach my goal of 80%, for now, far far away from there .... rush ? no lah, i still have time =)

see you around =D

'I LIKE HER, I DON'T LIKE HER'

not the puppy love - 'pluck a freshly daisy' quiz

BFW, not BMF this time ? noop, BFW says this time
for i said i like the instructor - fake ? real ? shoe shine ? standout myself ! conspired ! blablabla, whateverrrrr;
my honesty made me a liar, i became a silly again =(

think it this way, when you like someone or something,
you think of real, fake, purpose, return, favour, conspiracy ..
your life must be hard, sour, and sorrow;
i like the instructor, i don't like the instructor - my choice
you believe me, you don't believe me - your choice
my students know what she says, i was told not to be bordered ........

Life is too short to wake up with regrets
love the people who treat you right
hate the people who treat you wrong
for what i'm doing make me happy, that's good enough, more than enough

furthermore, i've never commented in your videos, WHY ?
you deserve no comment from me, we're in different planet, different world, different level =O
you don't believe i never did ? well, absolutely 200% fine; glad that there're so many out there hate you 2, care to leave you bad comments, i wish them all the best;

anyway, file closed, am busy to do my own business,
mind your own TOOOOOOOO

April 1 - APRIL FOOL =D

April 1 = April Fool, i used to be very excited when i was young, who doesn't, a kid could be excited for a candy or a dance =D

that was a thursday, which can be a relax day for me (no lessons at all)
or can be a busy day for me (take dance demos for no lessons worry)
i took 7 dance demos in 3 hours - sorry guys, that's a bit rush, don't question me the quality, even i'm always a quality keeper

DN Waltz - a cute little waltz, like the lyric. did that in the class, we were a bit rush that nite, learnt and reviewed dances in the last lesson

Gossip Girl - i uploaded the dance in youtube, my students asked why didn't i do the walk through, so i taught in the class, that was really a new experience for the beginner students to do 3/4 turns, 2 tags & 1 restart; i'm very proud of them to do the dance in such a short time of practice

Night Owl - a new dance, i did the demo, that was the only one shot, you could see i wasn't that serious (see below for the reason), thanks i did it proper, especially the walk through. after i sent to the dance websites, one of the site owners sent me email :
I was discussing last night If you would be the first one for this dance.
And you are


trial for fun :P - i like the steps of night own, thought that it would be fun if i can dance it fast, SO, i did it, that was great, just one shot, i posted out in youtube

3 more dances, will edit later for future use, that means i have lots of 'inventories' =D

one reason that i don't like to take several videos in a day, i wear the same tee in the videos =O

HAPPY EASTER
wish everyone has a wonderful long weekend

TO : MY ‘ONE STAR’ YOURTUBE VIEWER

There’s a viewer, who chasing all my videos in youtube and rates me ‘ONE STAR’; also sent me challenging comments in some videos, i.e. no salvation, I’m alive, and no more tears; sure she watches my movements and glad to have such a ‘loyal’ follower =O

alwaysbdere, of course, a fake name, opened a separate account to challenge me and dares not to use her ‘real name and account’; figured out who she is, if I’m wrong, hahaha, too bad, blame whoever wrote me and gave me the impression =D

One of the comments from her to ‘no more tears’, which I was too happy to get her ‘no sense’ comments again and too excited to respond to her then I accidentally deleted the comment in youtube:

just so boring, i will not learn this dance if i watch this demo, no style, just walk around, i am sorry!

MY REPLY TO YOU (alwaysbdere) :
Thanks for watching ALL my videos and comments.
Don’t feel sorry for yourself.
I expect to receive positive and negative comments as long as they are constructive.
To a non line-dance-viewer, I would enlighten her as to what is line dancing.
To a line dancer like you, and based on your queries of my "No Salvation" and "I’m Alive" demos, obviously "I’m Alive" suits you better but you have not reached the level to learn this dance yet.
Anyways, dance more to go through the steps so you can pass on better techniques to your 'students'.
Look forward to seeing you do this dance demo in your other channel =)
GOOD LUCK in your teaching!



My dance demo ‘I’m alive’ also received challenged comment from her, glad to receive the supportive comments from the choreographer

MY REPLY to the choreographer
Hi dear, thanks for your sweet comments
Being experienced instructors like you & I
We know what we can/should do
being an immature instructor like ‘alwaysbdere’
She chases me for my videos and leaves me bad comments
She can only read the script and pass what she sees to the students
It’s a long way for her to reach higher level
I respond to her based on courtesy
Good Luck To Her Students
And thanks again for your support
HAPPY DANCING


Let me tell you, you are not insulting me, you are insulting yourself, your instructor and the youtube viewers
SIGH, oh well, you and your friends have no integrity .... anyway

furthermore, i don't click & rate myself (except the first few counts to make sure my clip is OK); to me, youtube is a playform to train myself in dancing & talking, i need to know the fact to improve myself. glad to receiving numerous comments via emails, open comments, and in person and 200% sure i will upset you coz. this is just my starting point to do better and better; to you - keep/lock yourself and your world will be forever 'huge' inside the small WELL.

So, sorry to my viewers,
if you are not interested in this topic
Reiterate, this is my open diary ….
Thanks for your reading
Have a wonderful day =)

ENERGY BUNNY

hi dear, how are you ?

it's been 2 weeks from last post, mamamia, so busy, kids' march break, i thought i would have more time to clean & clear up things in the house, i was wrong, didn't do much except lots of videos.

because of the march break and there was no class from my instructor, i kept doing tapes, i also taught my classes, skipped only saturadays for room unavailable.

from mid august last year, i started to do dance demos on my own from source dance, study the steps, practice, take videos, edit, upload; all by myself, proud of myself.
thanks to my friends and students' support to view my clips and keep email me to compliment and encourage me. i'm confidence that i can do better each time than the last time.

first lesson today from my instructor after march break, BMF & BFW are the same, talked and teased so much; when i looked at them, i felt a bit pity on them and reminded myself, i should learn from them, one day i'll turn old like them and i make sure myself not be so harsh to the younger ones like me =O

my new classes, very good response, most students continue the lesson, i have to split 2 classes because of the different levels and too many students.
my students, if you are reading this, i'm very proud of you, you guys are doing great and get to follow my instructions and technique, i promise you'll be one of the best groups in town in line dancing but not line walking =D

oh well, 1:00 a.m., my first time in these 2 week to go sleep so early. stay tuned. LOVE YA !!!

SERIOUS STATEMENT

With respect to the recent emails spreading around about BMF, I hereby seriously declare that I received the emails but I NEVER RESPOND TO ANYONE OR SEND OUT ANY EMAIL TO THE HEAD INSTRUCTOR about this matter.

Everyone knows how she had been treating me from 2 years ago, nothing has changed ever. Same before, same now, I don’t have to get involve in this matter, I don’t have to tell the instructor how she treats me. From my august 9 2009 post in this blog, I mentioned that she told me to get off the dance floor; the head instructor was 2 feet away from us and saw the whole situation and yet no one did anything to her.

I started teaching line dance in In Beauty Spa 2 years ago with only 1 class and now I have 5 classes. I recruited all students by myself with my hard work and own effort, I stay away from their group and try not to get involve of their politics.

For the one who made up and accused me sent out emails -- MOVE YOUR ASS, don't sit on your brain, let it grow, hopefully, one day it will grow up to your head and you could THINK
LEAVE ME ALONE.
I HAVE NO TIME AND
DON’T WANT TO GET INVOLVE INTO THIS MATTER

greetings

FIRST, i'd like to tell all my students that i'm very very happy to see you in the classes and dance with you again; glad that i received emails saying they were having lots of fun in my classes =D

i've been keeping busy since my last post; i took video of my new choreograph IF WE EVER MEET AGAIN last thursday, i had the song over 2 months but never had time to do the dance; i checked before i left for vacation and there were none out yet, i did the steps in the last day of the trip, we got stuck in the airport so i final the steps and entered in my ipod; we were waiting in front of the counter for hours, people knew i was dancing but i looked funny for only moving in the same spot =P

i came home and checked, my oh my, that was one by a 'brand name' choreographer; i had a few seconds hesitation 'should i release my dance', then 'what the heck' no one do my dance anyways, i do my own dance; 'brand name' is 'brand name' no matter what

well, i'm happy with my own version, you may or may not agree =D

i started my regular classes on saturday, i went to winnie's party at nite while kids had the church program. BMF was same high profile, and brought along her hugh group of students (less than 10) in uniform, NO COMMENT

unpack, laundries, grocery shopping, classes, taking videos, editing, all together made me headache. i'm now editing the final video of this week, then i will have a good rest, i promise you - my students and myself.

i took lots of pictures during our vacation, uploaded a few 'bikinis' pix in face book, heehee, only my friends can see them, will upload more and public the album when i have time, yeah right, when i have time, WHEN ??

looks like i will not have much time today, my next line dance party will be held on March 21, students sent me favorite dances, my gosh, according to their requests, other than the recent ones, i have to practice some 'old dances'

OK, have to stop here and go back to my editing, will forward you the link of my next new videos if you are on my list .......

HAPPY DANCING \:D/

SHAME ? NO SHAME =O

just came back from vacation last nite, slept for only a few hours then went to class this afternoon, bit tired ... didn't expect to write so soon

BMF -- GRANDMA HAS NO SHAME =D
if you know what's going on, then you understand
if you don't know what's going on, then i better not to tell you
i saw BMF in the class today, she's so proud of being 'well known' and said it's good to have several emails talk about her everyday, well known like 'Edison Chen', a bad reputation star in hong kong

SO, guys, you are wasting your time, she's hopeless ......

HOLA AMIGO

hello my friend, i'm back from mexico, just got off from plane tonite
had some tan, ate alot, and lots of mosquitos' bites =(
took lots of pictures, will update in a short while.

BABY ON FIRE - Happy Valentine's Day

hi there, it’s about time to update again

i'm not lazy but busy instead. i feel like i'm killing myself (ha, someone must be happy), lots of work, loads of work, keep going & going, every time i tell myself ok, finish this one then you'll have a good rest then something (mostly new dance) comes up, then i have to work on it, first read the script, practice a bit, take the walk through (for the first few videos i danced then took the walk through, then i was panting and viewers thought i was chicken, hahahaha, the fact was i couldn't breath to talking continually without pause) now i know how to breath between.

it doesn’t take too much time if I have enough warm up, the most painful part is editing, I spend hours to edit; huuum, I should consider to buy a new edit program

the new dance BABY ON FIRE, was really a last minute thought to choreograph my own creation =)
yesterday, i looked around for good songs to dance warm up with my nite class students, i was checking the bmp of 'pop, lock, & drop' then i thought why don't i just choreograph a new beginner dance as valentine gift for my students, so i made up the dance, wrote down the steps in the scratch paper; then i sent email at 11:30 a.m. to tell my students i have a new dance and told them to wear red outfits if they want to add a little touch of the dance. that's how the dance came up. i taught them the steps, danced once, i taught them what are tag & restart, then we took the video, i should have dance one more time before we took the video but the outcome was great anyways

last nite, i edited the tapes that i took from the nite class until 4:00 in the morning; then i couldn't hold myself and fell asleep on the computer table, i went sleep until 7:30 a.m. got up to continue my computer work & uploaded in youtube, took care the kids to school ......

hey you, who's reading this post, i have a few more videos to be posted in youtube these 2 weeks, stay tuned

WISH YOU A HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
& CHINESE NEW YEAR !!!

BMF - you deserve the # 1 =O

went to my instructor winnie yu's BD party last sunday.

party started at 5:00 p.m., i arrived at around 6:15 p.m. and missed the dance part, they started the guests introduction, speech, lion dance, performance etc. etc.

thanks to my student emailed me and asked "Did that BMF give you hard time ?" yes, she did, she won't miss a chance =)

BMF didn't say anything bad or make any big movement, i thought her lips were sewed by someone; HAHAHAHA, i was wrong, once the guests left, she carried the mic. & led the dance, she yelled at the mic loudly in chinese (eat banana) which is very cheap and lowest-class way to speak in public

SIGH, the lowest class instructor - you deserve the #1

why do i mention that, did that bother me, NO, not really, i was far away from her, that shouldn't be me, well, she hates most people, then WHY do i bring it up here ???

when she led the circle waltz, i don't like couple dance at all, so i did 'waltz II' in the middle, she danced with her buddy next to me, with her damn dirty look and said in the mic 'not all instructors know how to teach this'....EXACTLY, whoever says it can't do it - that was you; what's your waltz technique ?
i don't waste my time and pay for nothing of my ballroom lessons in the last 2 years ....

i got comments & feedback from her/my/others students asking me not to be so harsh on her so i did, even though she is mentally ill, it doesn't mean that she can play anyone as she likes, doesn't mean that i have to stand a brainless .. MAD, no lah, but i'm not the little see mui anymore; let you play me and cried at the corner so her buddy BFW could say that i played pitiful ......

huummmm, let the steam out, feel a bit better, see you next round =)

Busy Life ......

hi dear, how are you ?
can't believe it's been a week since my last blog

jon jon had his 10th birthday on jan. 3 last sunday after my class in studio
he invited friends to come over, played and ran around at the house, ate pizza, then we drove in 2 cars to 'dave & buster' for the machine arcade, i feel like a gambler whenever i play those machines, so do the kids, oh well, what else can we do for birthday parties, no more kids' climbing and running in the playland ....

busy schedule the whole week, everyday lessons except thursday, that's the only day free to do a bit house work

kids got 3 activities on saturdays and i teach 1 lesson while wait for the kids attend abacus; cooked for family. i went party at nite but i was exhausted, almost lost my sense, i felt like dreaming the whole nite. and yet had to prepare for sunday lesson before sleep.

have lesson on sunday morning, then entertain my family whole day after class; even tony doesn't like me line dance and sometimes makes me upset for that, he's a very good family man and runs around for me & the kids which i truly appreciate him for doing so

it's almost 2:00 in the morning, will go sleep in a short while, will take mom to hospital tomorrow early morning to take away her cast (she broke her wrist 3 weeks ago and stays in my house for the wholetime), ballroom lesson, line dance lesson, cook for family .......

i still think i should cut down something but what :-?? don't know ... ??

2010 New Year Resolutions : Line Dancing, Line Dancing, Line Dancing

Hello Everyone, Wish you a Happy Happy New Year, have a new good start ....

in 2009, other than the unhappy from BMF & BFW;
i've gained a lot, friendship from overseas, students, experience, technique, much much more, oh, one more, finally my husband let me have ONE nite freedom to teach line dancing, i treasure the nite time to hang out with my students a lot

my new year resolutions ? all about line dancing =)
from taking videos, i started to get use to the way to dance & talk, well, it's a bit embarrassed when i watched the old videos, and yet still love to keep them, those are good proof of my progress; i always say i dance better on the dance floor, now getting used to the camera and dance more natural

in videos, you can't dance big like exaggerate, you can't dance small like walking, you have to dance clear to show every single steps and use your body movement/language but not too much like shaking ..... aiya, just love taking videos, like training, to make myself dance natural, so much to learn;

i've uploaded several dance demos, check out my youtube channels : rclinedanz & rclinedanz2

i will have 2 trial lessons next monday & tuesday, hope to meet you there, look forward to dancing with you in the classes/parties =D
