Day 48 -  November 13th 2013 (By Elina Yako)

Another awesome day, started off with another awesome class of music theory with K.
Like we did in the last music theory classes, today we were about to dissected a song of choice by a student. 
This day though wasn't like any other day.. 
Today was the day I got to chose a song MUAHAHAHAH! 
Okay, i might be exaggerating but I just like evil-laughs, sorry guys. 
Anyway, I picked "Sleepyhead" by Passion Pit. 
Since it was a rushed last minute song-decision, I realized a little too late that the song wasn't composed as complex as I thought at first, so everyone new the musicality already after listening to the song 4-5 times. 
BUMMER! 
Mantas even called the song "weird" (one day you will regret that you said that). 
But anyway, check out this artist guys!

After that, Lin's 1h warm-up-routine was on the schedule. 
Being the perfect behaved students we are *wink*, we went through the exercises like pro's. 
Sweat-soaked we moved on to the next class of the day which was the musical assignment.  
Since us girls teamed up & the boys form the other group, it's not possible for both to stay in the studio & use the stereo - so we decided to switch classes. 
The guys were weerrrrrking their Bob Fosse-ish step-tap-jazz-walk-thingy & us girls were working on our christmas solos (I guess eating lunch is considered working as well).

Short lunch break or sleep-time, how others like to call it.

Filled up with new energy we were all ready to get going with Lin's rehearsal for the showcase on the 13th of November.
But before we started the class, we gathered around the couch-area & Lin told us about her struggles dealing with the situation in the Philippines. 
The devastating consequences of the typhoon are affecting around a million families. 
We can't close our eyes when things like this are happening to other people, so Lin announced to us that she's planning on doing a dance-charity-event to donate money for the victims of the Typhoon. Of course, all of us were in!

   Let´s dance to help others in need

                            

The following class was very emotional after this talk. 
The song Lin chose is a very intense song so it fit the mood perfectly. 
So far, the show looks DOPE! 
Stay tuned for more!

Alright. I talked a lot.
It's 1:42 in the morning. 
I gotta get on a plane to Japan in 6h, I better go to bed.
Or maybe I'll watch an episode of Scrubs.
Well. Whatever.
I love you guys.
Good night!
