Went for dance camp today and missed Happy Day in church! still very sad about it =[ but nevermind! Dance camp was fun though im dead beat now. Wobbly wobbly hahaha.

The strength of camp was huge. HCI, SRJC, NJC, HSS, DeyiSS. Sooo many people! So everywhere we danced we were hitting people along the way haha.

Alright, we were split into groups first, then to our seperate classes.
Our group did Pilates in the black box first. Pilates was tough, tested lotsa strength flexibility and perseverance. Good experience though. I think yoga and pilates are one of those very underrated activities. Because the pros make it look so easy but it is really very difficult to do it well. Especially the weird poses that look so easy but actually cant be done by normal civilians haha

Then we went to the dance studio for Fever Latino! I thought that was really fun because the instructor was so happy and she really looks like Miss Yeo hahaha! It was very energetic and we were jumping non-stop the whole time. haha really tiring but fun =] Everybody does the dance so awkwardly that you dont even care if you look super stupid haha!

Then was lunch. The food was terrible but nevermind its camp. Then we had group bonding session! haha I finally got to know my group and their names :D Played some games that finally got our group talking, then later we had a mass game with the dance. And then we all danced the friendship dance! :D it was super cute
As we walk to the left
As we walk to the right
As we walk, as we walk, as we walk all night
With a heel and a toe, and a half-turn around
With a heel and a toe and a new friend found!
And we did variations like hope, jump, plie, passe and all kinds of dance stuff to fulfill the dance camp theme. haha really fun, made new friends by face! =]]]

Then we stayed in the dance studio for Alfo Brazil Jazz, which was african contemporary in simpler terms. Fun but even more tiring because he just made us dance non-stop with the music. Some of the moves were kind of awkward too but its a good new experience! :D

Last class, wushu! when we were all dead tired already. Recapped alot of stuff i used to do!=]
After that we were really all tired. Debriefed then home sweet home!!

Okay tmr is going to be an even worse day. 4 hours of technique, 3 hours of choreo and theres still a lecture at the end of the day hahahaha! Wow really dont quite look forward to the exhaustion, but it'll be fun! With so many people dancing together :)
