DAY 78 - January 8th 2014 (By Marilena Maouni)

Happy new year nice people! I'm so excited for 2014!

It's the year I'm going to LA with my 1yep family for 6 weeks, experience Winter Drop, be in a big production for our final show, graduate 1yep and a bunch of other stuff that I can't tell you yet!

If we were training hard last year....this year we are working our butts off! 

Lin is determined to turn us into little dancing monsters.

This semester with Lin we are focusing on stamina and picking up choreography reaaaaaaaally fast!

I can already see the results! *clapping for myself*

This week we have Jeppe from Robot Boys and we are doing popping/animation. 

I won't even try to explain how sick he is just watch this ---->

My coolness level just went up after his classes! *cheering for the classes*

I wish he was choreographing for our final show... Oh wait! HE IS!!!! *clapping and cheering for this Education*

If you are awesome add me on facebook.

DAY 77 - January 7th 2014 (By Elin Karabuda)

Ladies and gentlemen, and others. 

The break is finally over, so let the fun begin! And hi by the way :D

After the warm-up we had theory class with K. 

But not any theory class. 

No no. 

We got to extend our rapping horizons! Finally :D He taught us about the history, and we even got to try out our rapping mojo ourselves. 

I liked this class. It was, as we swedes say, ”kul”.

But the kul didn’t stop there. 

Jeppe from Robot Boys taught us the whole afternoon!

I’m so happy we get to learn the techniques of popping, animation, boogaloo etc. from a human robot (which ofc is meant in a good way, Peppe)

He teaches us the basics and even lets us scratch the surface of the reeeaaally cool, unhumanish, and difficult stuff. 

Since I’m a people reader I can already smell your curiosity from here. 

So here’s a clip of what we did. 

Enjoy.

Holy macaroni I just watched it again! Still blows me away... 

Can’t wait for tomorrow!

DAY 76 - January 6th 2014 (By Kallum Khaos)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


We are back from a well deserved rest and raring to go. 
I think most of us wanted to come back almost straight after we left. 
For me I couldn't wait to get back in the studio and start training again – especially when I heard who we were going to be learning from this week! 
Jeppe from the Robot Boys!! 
I used to watch him and Nick before I even started dancing so it's crazy to be learning from him. 
His technique is insane, you can tell from videos but to see it in person is a whole other level.

We started the day as we do all days – with a warm up. 
We are renewing our warm up/work out schedule from last year so we were learning some new routines and doing some old ones too to get us back into the swing of things. 
It really felt like the first day again =D

Afterwards we had a speed class with Lin where she teaches us a piece of choreography in 45 minutes to improve our ability to pick up choreography quickly and under pressure. 
I really enjoyed it, I pick up choreography super slowly so this is exactly what I need to improve and raise my confidence for workshops and auditions. 
After the lunch break it was time for another warm up and then JEPPE! It was so good!!!
He is teaching us Popping, Animation and Effects and giving us so many techniques and exercises that we can practice in our own time in order to improve our isolations, popping, body control etc. 
Here is a glimpse at some of the things we worked on during his warm up:

I'm sure you'll get to see more as the week progresses =]

See you soon.
