Happy New Year =D

I hope everyone had a great Christmas.

what a wonderful holiday, i had a good rest, didn't sleep for that much for long time; except EAT TOO MUCH AND DANCE TOO LITTLE; i've gained several pounds

keep thinking of dancing, source new dance, what dance to take in next video, prepare the new classes, do a new dance etc. etc. heehee, just thinking but do nothing .... oh well, holiday holiday, take a good rest before anything

look forward to the new year to have a new start
ALL THE BEST TO YOU =)

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year !!!

Dear Family & Friends,

I wish you & your families,

the very best of the holiday.

Merry Christmas &

Happy New Year !!!

BUSY BEE IN WINTER

hi guy, have to make it short, very busy, will go party tonite; no time to play with BMF, don't border me, i only do the dances i want to, no time & no energy to review at all, will go out in a short while to entertain my kids & mom

mom slipped in the street this monday while i was teaching, took her back & forth between doctor & x ray's office, then emergency, took 6 hours, she broke her right wrist & has cast, now living in my house, everything is fine, just inconvenience, will take her back to hospital next monday after classes to recheck

still have classes on sundy, mondy & tuesday, have to buy decorations for parties and prepare gift for students
tones of work .......... MAMAMIA .......

BE RIGHT BACK

hi guys, very busy these days, i sleep only 4 - 5 hours a day lately, will update the post in due course, you have a great evening =)

PART OF PREVIOUS POST DELETED

GUYS, I WROTE SOMETHING MEAN TO BMF & HER FRIEND, a student came to me after the lesson today and suggested me to ripe it off; ok, i'll be nice this time

i've kept the rest of the previous post, well, everyone knows she's crazy ..
i don't have to know/remember all the dances, i have family, i have to source new dances and practice and teach and tape; not like you, spend all your time in 'screwing' others and practice what you only learnt, too bad, still bad job =(

sorry guys, i have to write the above, from the recent attitude/activities (what they did to me), not to ATTACK but to STRIKE BACK ......

have a great day =D

My NY Cha ... disappointed

WHY ?

i love the dance, NY Cha so much, i did it the first time, watched the video and found my new mini skirt, i didn't wash it, just ironed to get rid of the wringles, then the skirt looked short & bounced out like a little fat ducky's bum but i danced smooth;

so i washed the skirt and retook the video which was sunday after the class, but i had very little time coz. i had to rush home to take lunch with my family (well, that's the deal, tony doesn't like me to go out so i promised to go home as early as i can after the class, so i don't screw up his 'lunch time'). as i mentioned i'm training myself to talk in front of the camera, so i said how much i like the song and having the memories & friends in new york;

i uploaded the 2nd video in yipee, they posted out the video in the new dance page, i earned 72 view hits in the first hour; but then i rewatched the dance and still think the 1st one danced better so i requested yipee to switch the videos (i know that was my fault not to think it twice, 3 times, 4 times) =(

they were very nice to switch the video for me (millions thanks) but not this time in the new dance page

what i disappointed is i should dance a few more times to make the dance smooth when i retook the 2nd time SIGH, no return

HEY, there are still many more chances, i'll wait for another dance that i really love it ....... i will wait, even if it takes forever, i will wait .......

HAPPY DANCING \:D/

My Dance Demos with walk through - HAPPY ^_^

once again, i enjoy and treasure every moment in dancing, love ya !!

A BIT EMBARRASED =p

WHY ?

my new dance demo - The Last Nite, the first time when i taped it, something wrong with the restart due to miscommunications with the choreographer; so i had to retake the next day, i wore the latin shoes for 2 days and kept dancing, you can see i was wearing heels in the walk through part, there was a final version with waltz technique but my face shows the pain; then i got changed and thought, ok, buddy, i'm naughty this time then i danced with my sneakers, and that was my only 1 shot 1 version - 'waltz in sneakers'.

you can even see my 'witchy' smile in my eyes when i looked at the camera and i danced free & relaxed BUT without the ballroom feel. be honest, that wasn't bad in 'line dancing', most line dancers dance like that, but in a waltz, that was bad. also, at the same time i taught my class the waltz technique and that reflects in their excellent demo 'the first waltz', i am shame of myself =(

oh well, i am just a naught girl ^_^ and HAPPY DANCING \:D/

i've been learning 'ballroom' basic technique for a while, i picked up the technique & steps well, BUT once i dance with partner, i get nervous & stupid, guess i was born to be a 'line dancer' and dance solo =O

ok, stay tuned, will update my new demos in next post
have a wonderful weekend =D

kids' talk =O

mamamia, i taped a waltz today and the editing was killing me, couldn't watch myself anymore ..... had advance lesson this morning, we have good company =D

we had lunch in a small restaurant yesterday, my girl is pretty & skinny, i said to her 'you should eat more to gain weight and look prettier', my son buzzed in right away 'it's too late', why ? he said 'she was ugly, no turn', SIGH, quick response ..... sometimes they piss me off, fight/argue almost every 5 minutes but love their conversations .....

stay tuned, will update the uploads in youtube
you have a wonderful day ^_^

my second youtube channel - rclinedanz2

A big round of applause to my Tuesday nite beginners class. They had 8 lessons after the open house and they did extremely well. I’m very impressed that over half of the students were novice and more than half of the students have gotten use to my cue instructions now. My dear dance students, I’m so proud of you. Keep up the good work.

My second youtube channel - rclinedanz2.
as per request, i have recorded some of the beginners dance in the class so students may follow to practice. the dance videos will be uploaded in my second channel, please click above to view the demos. so far i taught 12 dances, taped cleveland shuffle, samba 1, first waltz etc. etc.

My first youtube channel - rclinedanz, is mostly for the newest & higher level dances with dance & walk through, hopefully, i can do more in youtube. thanks for your watching & view hits.

i started to do walk through in my videos from end of July, i learnt a lot. why actors go to acting school even they are good in acting in daily life, it's different in the expression; same as dancing, the way you talk, the way you dance. as always, i'm training myself, i don't let myself stop; the beauty of learning is to enjoy the process - from source dances, dance, take videos and edit, it's very time consuming but i'm lucky to get the enjoyment =D

have a wonderful day =) HAPPY DANCING \:D/

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
