Dance to Exercise. Exercise to Dance.

Like I promised - here's the song I'm using for next three weeks starting with basic beginners part 1 TOMORROW!

27 April

 4 May

11 May

More - Usher

Since tomorrow is the first week for this song the combination will not be too complicated. =)

It's an awesome track. I love Usher!

See you at 7pm!

Hey Girls,

So, the mystery song we used on this two week dates was... *drumroLL*

Chris Brown ft Busta Rhymes - WHY STOP NOW

Just the chorus. Ahahaha.

8 x 8 counts!

SIX WEEKS

THREE DANCES

THREE DIFFERENT SONGS

TWO CLASSES ONLY for each song.

Britney Spears at her best - some of my favourite dance tracks anyway!

Here's a fun project I put together. Specially selected, three different Britney tracks, learn three dances in ONLY SIX weeks.

Usually, to learn a dance to each song takes around three weeks per song.

I've chosen some awesome dance tracks and shortening the number of lessons for each song from the usual three to only two weeks (two classes for a song).

STARTING

APRIL 23:   I'm A Slave For You - Part 1

APRIL 30:   I'm A Slave For You - Part 2

MAY 7:        My Prerogative - Part 1

MAY 14:      My Prerogative - Part 2

MAY 21:      I've Got That (Boom Boom) - Part 1

MAY 28:      I've Got That (Boom Boom) - Part 2

Okay so at this moment, I would LOVE to record some, if not ALL of the dances after we learn them cos I think it would be amazing. Have a listen, here's the music for you to check out and practice to. xoxo.

Each track is a different beat and different style - I'm going to be adventurous and experiment a little ;)

Don't forget to work out some sexy poses you can use! Hahaha. Don't be shy. =P

Oh and thank **YOU** girls sooo much for the super cute surprise last Monday. Totally worth celebrating my birthday in class! First time and looking forward to doing it again hahaha. Much love. Muahh!

Here's the first one for tomorrow - April 23!

One at a time, this one first. You don't wanna confuse yourself with too many beats lol.

Okay so listen up girls and NOTE these dates down.

Very important so you DON'T miss anything! =)

Below is the class schedule for Girls Club Beg/Int and Girls Hip Hop:

Wk 1:

Friday 20 April (NO CLASS - Birthday weekend XD)

Wk 5:

Monday 23 April - Start SURPRISE PROJECT - TELL YOU TOMORROW!
Friday 27 April - Start NEW DANCE PART 1

Usually, as you know, my dances run in three week programmes where we learn parts one, two and three in three week durations and linked together. However, because of the holiday disruptions I have altered our programme slightly.

For Friday 30 March and Friday 13 April, there will be slight modification, the Girls Hip Hop dance I will teach on these dates will only have two parts and therefore two weeks of learning (as opposed to the usual three parts). After which there is no class on 20 April and from 27 April onwards we will start FRESH new choreography. Come ask me any questions in class if you like. =)

Hey Girls!

Great stuff last week - am super proud we managed to finish Jason Derulo - Don't Wanna Go Home.

Here's the choreographed track of our next project for the next three weeks.....

1. Girls Club Beg:

S.O.S - Rihanna.

Dates for this dance:

Wk 1: March 26
Wk 2: April 2
Wk 3: NO CLASS (Public Holiday - Easter Monday)
Wk 4: April 16 (My Birthday - but cos I love you so much, I have decided to teach - presents warmly welcome =P)

Check out the song:

2. Girls Club Int:

Gossip Folks - Missy Elliott.

Wk 1: March 26
Wk 2: April 2
Wk 3: NO CLASS (Public Holiday)
Wk 4: April 16 (Same as above LOL)

I've picked these oldies but goodies cos I'm waiting for some decent songs to hit in April! - Nothing is doing it for me in March at the moment. What is happening to all the good beats we used to get?! S.O.S/Gossip Folks are GREAT beats to dance to. The choreography I have prepared for class (starting tomorrow) is nothing short of fantastic as well. ;)

In fact, I'm looking to make it our FIRST beginners' Girls Club dance I upload a video of. I'm confident we'll look good! Of course, provided we've done some practice and tidying up. Don't worry this is for those girls comfortable and confident enough to participate in the group recording. =) If you're new - just have fun, enjoy learning the steps and slowly gaining confidence.

Hi Girls,

Hope you all had a great week. Can't believe its Friday already! Nuts. The week starts and ends quickly.

Thankfully we have dance class to pump us up on dreary Mondays and take us into the ZONE on Fridays for a great weekend ahead. =D

We have successfully finished PYRO - T.I. Please practiseeeee! I see yOU!

and so here it is, the latest track we are focusing the next three weeks on. This time it's going to be a lighter, pop based dance track to switch it up from a gangsta style beat. =P The next one after this will be more bass-y. I'm going to alternate both hip hop dance style and music for Girls HH on Fridays.

9 March - covering Section 1 - 4 x 8 counts

16 March - covering Section 2 - 4 x 8 counts

23 March - covering Section 3/ reviewing Sections 1 & 2.

TURN ME ON - NICKI MINAJ ft David Guetta

It's going to HOTT. Off the chAin.

Lemme know what you think.

Peace.

Congratulations to the girls that have completed their first dance last week!

Here's a quick (as promised) message on the music we started learning a new routine to on Mon 5 March - the first week of three.

During Beg -

Don't Wanna Go Home - Jason Derulo

We're gonna be working on the dance for this song for the next two weeks - so if you love the track - come to class!

Really big congrats for SUCCESSFULLY kickin A$$ in the last song! Wasn't an easy one but ya'll making it look reeeeal good. Few bits left to tidy but we'll get there. Was contemp/jazz mixed in with a bit of feminine flair. Was pleasantly surprised!

Hey Girls!

A very big WELCOME back to my classes in 2012! Hope most of you are back in action and getting active again cos this week has already been a blast!

Just some updating of info, my music I used on Monday's Girls Club is...

Beginners:

Bottlez - by T-pain

Intermediate:

Kiss My Lips - Dev ft Fabolous

Intermediates... you know what you gotta do, stick with it, practise the soft and sultry, extended freeflow and contemporary movements.

...and TONIGHT at Girls Hip Hop will also be starting a new song to practise over the next three weeks, there will be a mix of mainly beginner moves with some intermediate level choreography. =)

The track is a favourite of mine...

Pyro - by T.I.             <<< T.I. says it all. XD

That's it for this week - Come check me out at Open Day THIS Sunday 5pm, Studio 1 - Girls Club/Girls HH! Promise it'll be FREAKIN' AWESOME. hahaha.

Watch this space for the name of the song we'll learn a short routine to on Sunday.

www.citydance.co.nz

This is a pretty post for the girly moves this class is all about. We've learned dances to a variety of tracks... Here's some of them!

Nicole Scherzinger ft 50 Cent - Right There

Also for Intermediate -

Chris Brown - Look At Me Now < I think we all know this one!

We also just finished learning verse and chorus to...

Jennifer Lopez - Papi

By the way, you'll notice at the end of the video when JLo is doing the routine... she changes her heels! A quick switch from frame to frame she has on like five inch heels then walks backwards in a 2 inch one hahaha.
