DAY 92 - January 28th 2014 (By Kallum Khaos)

*Runs around the room kicking everything and screaming*

JILLIANNNNNNN! JILLIANNN MEYERSSSSS!!

*exhales*

Hello everyone!! 

So today started with a team building exercise, we all helped stick the Hip Drop logo decal onto the floor ready for Winter Drop!! 

Just 2 days to go, and everyone is noticeably excited, we were back to our usual press up competitions between the guys during the warm up, which only happens when spirits (or temperatures) are high…in this case it’s definitely spirits.

Our morning class was popping training with K which is always awesome, we get to drill our hitting as well as some popping combinations to train and work into our freestyling (or choreo) if we wish. 

It’s good because it really improves our muscle control and body awareness because you’re focusing on tensing different muscles at different times so you get to see how to isolate and use each part of your body efficiently which is really useful for all styles of dance.

Next came the lunch break and the camera crew to do some 1YEP filming. 

Lately lunch break is half eating/talking and half dance training. Some people freestyling, some teaching each other different dance styles and some working on choreography ready to teach on our Wednesday class (19:30-20:30 on Wednesdays ;D).

Then it happened…That’s when…

JILLIIAANNNNN *throws the laptop off the table and screams*

Jillian Meyers came to teach us for the next 2 days, and then 4 days during Winterdrop. She began with various movement exercises aimed to improve our creativity and get in touch with the various ways of using our body. 

Followed by partner exercises and contact improvisation. 

It’s so good to get these classes by Jillian, she has such a wide variety of knowledge and can offer us so much it’s incredible. Afterwards we got into some choreography:



Such a varied and awesome piece to learn (we’re not in heels though hehe), it’s really technical but at the same time really free and fun to dance. 

I had such a good day =D

Speak soon.
