Day 28 - October 9th 2013 (By Kallum Khaos)

Yesterday my Facebook status read:

“These are the best days of my life. 

I can't even begin to explain how amazing this education is. 

I've taken class with S**t Kingz before, but nothing on this level. 

8 students, 4 teachers, 4 hours a day. 

I'm in heaven!! :-)

...and it's so true. 

Nothing I could say could put into perspective just how privileged I am to be on this course or how amazing every day is. 

Even in the first hour of the day when we were doing our stretches, warm ups, crunches, hip hop foundations and modern dance performance rehearsal I took a moment to reflect on how surreal, intense and freakin' awesome this still is.

The girls getting ready to meet S**t Kingz ha ha ha

So for the first class they taught “JT – That girl” and I think we'd all agree it was a tough routine, but the vibe and mood made it feel so right with our bodies, Moto (Oguri) told us to imagine we were at a bar drinking, and then we break into dance while kinda tipsy....Something some members of the group can really relate to quite easily..

*COUGH*Elina!*COUGH* - Kidding :-)

We also had the question and answer session today. 

Woooooow!! 

We asked all kinds of crazy cool questions and the S**t Kingz had the answers to the various questions...you really had to be there...it was pretty special. 

Though I will share one thing that Shoji told us had inspired him and that was something said by Link from Elite Force crew - When asked by students how they can improve he told them 'by messing up', by messing up you can learn your limitations and each time you do you can identify what it is you need to work on and where you can improve. 

We all focus hard on not messing up, but maybe if we focus on dance and let ourselves mess up naturally, we can better notice where our weaknesses are, and make active steps to make them stronger.

In the second class we split into groups of 4 and learned the formations for the piece they taught earlier in the day. 

It's so inspiring to see how the smallest movement can be so powerful when done in unison. 

Everyone got so hyped watching the other group and it felt so great to perform it for each other, Lin & K and the S**t Kingz. 

The students ended with a big group hug, it was a very proud moment for all of us :-)

Until next time.

Love dance, love life, love Mantas...

P.S. Elin taught the international class this evening and it was awesome! 

She's so freakin' talented it's insane. 

If I end this education even half as good as she is I'll be happy!! If you're in Malmo next Wednesday, you should come take class. I think it's Denice teaching   :-)
