DANZATION 2008 Part I

Hi Guys! Alden is back!



Alright, pardon me my ultra super lagness in blogging because i work everyday since this Monday till now. I'm dying already. Haha. Real Sorry but I got lots to say about Danzation! If you don't mind my duper long, script-writing, thousand island words post, pleas read on :D

Danzation, It was a BLAST. It was amazing, It was wonderful, it was just ____( i just can't find a word to describe my feelings for it). Everything ended but to me, things have just only begun, and I can felt that the 3000+ over people for the two days that come to watch NRA, with all the external guests' showcases, everyone bring back something which they would remember, and would felt that Danzation is some what they would never forget. I hope they have enjoyed through the three hours, cause I did myself and really thanks for the audiences for making this production a very successful one.

It have been truly an awesome journey these past few months, since August, when we began our very first training. Still remembering we have to practice at the studio without the Air-con and everyone sweat like mad, but hey, thinking back, it was some how memorable and funny. True enough, there was ups & downs, we don't have a hundreds percent attendance all the time, we managed to pull through it. Times to times, we done self prac's and only like 8 people come only. Haha. One more thing, when we make studio 16 stink like a rubbish chute. It was all very precious memories now.

But there is one person that really, make us think that anything is possible, that keep pushing us on, and motivated us when we are down, and that person is none other than our Freshie guys Choreographer, FARID! Man, I seriously don't know how to thank you. Mad Respects to you. You are another dancer that I look upon on. Really thanks for all the encouragements and believing in us, that we can do it. From the first time, I hear you pissed off and shouting at us that & I can rmb you saying" Hey, this is not funny okay, stop clapping." It really made me stop fooling around and be serious about it. You are real beast, you are on your final year and you really pulled out alot of your time to clean our steps and correct our mistakes. Adding to that, you had like 10 over items on your own, and man, looking at you dancing on the stage, like the stage is all yours, it was really inspiring to be like you one day. Alright, Thank you for everything that you had teach us and I know that all 49 freshies guys too, wanted to thank you as much. " SO NEAT THAT IT'S SCARY " I hope we live up to this but I felt that we had did it!

Next up, NRA freshies girls! Wow, you girls are amazing. I still remember the first time I saw you all full out, I was truly stunned by you girls. It was just too clean, too neat to be true! I was amazed. At that point of time, I was quite disappointed with our guys, me as well, that if we all compared to the girls, we are fall from apart, not saying the guys is not good, but just that the neatness we had is two-different. I know I do not know all of you, but when we return to the studio, I hope I can get to know more of you all! It was a great opening item you all have put up! The extensions and all the angles, I would really had to admit, you girls are as strong as the guys. Big shout out to Alexis, Karen, Wenmei, Clover, Calista, Joyce. Thank you all much. The bus ride and Wenmei, thanks you for helping us to source the pants for us, I really want to thank you but I don't know how. You really put alot of efforts in it, and try to get the size we want. Thanks man.

Freshie Guys! To each and one of you all! I can feel all of you on the stage! Thanks to Benzo for always carrying out self-pracs, and if you are not there, we are not here as well. Thank so much. Thank much to all the peoples, that corrected me when I am wrong, like Yansoon, louis, Zach, XiaoQiang, Clement, and much more. Most importantly, to A4 guys! Wow, it have been a great journey with all of you. JiaJie, Lester, Zhiyuan, Wei Liang etc.! It was great these few months. And of course, this guy,my classmate, my bro, KAIXUN aka OM, Thank you very much. Without you, maybe I would quit NRA soon. And Thanks for pulling me into A4, haha, if not I am no where now. Be a dope BBoy and I believe that you can do a powerful 2000's at Danzation 10' & be the next Baek. XD

Orange & Becca, although I don't know much about you two. But your choreography to the girls and your routines is so sick! Mad respects to both of you as well. I can still rmb vividly how Orange chest pop in her " when i grow up " showcase. It was insane.

Last but not least, Ann Tan, our principal Choreographer. You inspired us, and really hit me hard on it, and keep pushing us to the next level. Really hate to see you participating for your Last Danzation. Your talk are always motivating and made us dare to dream big, your " I BELIEVE, WE BELIEVE, THEY BELIEVE " really made me and the rest, believe that Singapore dance industry, together as one, one day, would INSPIRE THE WORLD THRU MUSIC & DANCE. To me, Danzation 08' is in the 'I believe' evolving to 'We believe'. Danzation 10' is gonna be 'We believe', evolve to 'They believe'. Although you are strict at times, and I would get so stressed up when you are teaching, it was still a wonderful experience. Thank you so alot much for everything.

Alright, I would end here with part one here of cause, I will post some pics up in the next post! Congrats to you that you can read up till here. Cya in Part two later! =]
