Hip Hop for beginners

Lyrical Jazz

2009-07-28T09:21:00.000-07:00

Lyrical Jazz

was just recently discovered not too long ago. It is a combination of hiphop, jazz and contemporary BUT this has a storyline to it.

'Lyrical' simply means you dance according to the lyrics of the song given. It is interesting because it requires a lot of emotions in a lyrical dance piece.Lyrical jazz is a very passionate and emotional dance style. It portrays certain emotions such as love, and tells a story through every movement made.

Lyrical is a deep, personal, emotional dance that is known by its connected and graceful movements of the body. The rhythm and beat of the dance is synced with the lyrics and mood of the song.

Lyrical dance is often choreographed to a song about freedom, of releasing a sad emotion, or of overcoming obstacles, but can be choreographed to any human emotion-related song. Depending on the given song and choreography, a lyrical piece may or may not be graceful, but will always be expressive and unpredictable, particularly in comparison to ballet and other jazz pieces which may have a more presentational quality.

Music can be of any genre; pop, rock, and even hip hop/R&B styles

For the month of August:

Tuesday 930pm-1030pm

Dancing is a Passion!

2009-05-04T08:27:00.000-07:00

Dancing is

1% Technique, 99% Passion

I developed the love for dance when I enrolled myself in a Jazz class at the age of 17. Yes, right after high school! It never came across my mind that I would take dancing seriously,moreover a job. A dance instructor here in Penang once told me, "Kerry.. you can't really dance..better off quitting". No doubt I took it harsh but it did not stop me from doing what I enjoy doing. At a very young age, I loved watching people dance at girl guide gatherings,parties and such but never thought I'd head that same direction.

The words spoken into my life gave me the determination to give dancing a second try..but this time..somewhere else. In 2002, I went to the States to further my education. I had to fulfill some electives in order to graduate. Dance was my first choice and I've never regretted since.

Although they were electives and were the 'not-so-important' classes, it somehow meant well to me. There and then, I developed a full passion for dance. Nothing feels better than going out there and just being yourself because it is only YOU who knows the real YOU inside.

You know your passion and you're the only one that is able to bring it out.

Nick.Johnson,a dance instructor at WSU said,

'No matter how good a dancer is, he/she will never be the best...Everyday there's something new to learn and we all learn them together.Dancing is a process of learning"

A Dancer is a No-Quitter.. and if someone tells you your fault, take it as a compliment and build on it...making sure you don't make the same mistakes again.

The reason why I said dance is only 1% technique and 99% passion is because

techniques can be learned whereas Passion is what drives out that BIG DANCER in U!

Quitting=Failure *nuff said.
