DAY 24 - October 1st 2014 (By Simonne Kraigher)

I sit here exhausted trying to get all my thoughts under control because today was such a HYPE HUMPDAY! First off, let me just say, holy s**t where has the time gone? We have been here for one month, as of today. Holy moly, we have done so much already, and I am so stoked to see what else we will do in another month’s time.

Anyways, you are here to read about what we did on this glorious Wednesday. What didn’t we do is the question? Well, it started off by biking in the rain, to make it to our earlier than normal class, since we had a last minute class with Lee Daniel and Jian Pierre-Louis. They are here doing a project in Copenhagen, and our Momma Lin, was able to steal them for two hours so they could train us. DAAAAAAMMNN , first off, may I say that these two are not only teachers; they had some super inspirational things to say about taking class. They gave us pointers and direction that will help us majorly, as we all grow.

 Lee taught first and he did his choreography to “She came to give it to you” – Usher ft. Nicki Minaj. It was a mix of commercial/hiphop and had a lot of feeling (Luise explained it like this to me right now - I needed help from my German roommate, cause English is my first language and I have a hard time with the English vocabulary.) This was a super fun dance that everyone was able to play with – and that’s what Lee wanted! We decided (Luise and I – as I live with her and shes helping me right now) to call Lee Daniel a “funky monkey with a groovy moovy man-tittude” I will let you figure out what that means but in short words … he’s AMAZING.

 Right after Jian taught his class which was choreographed to, “Rap Around” – By an unknown artist (I asked everyone and they don’t know who the artist is). His choreography was more in the commercial/house style as Jian is a DJ as well. Damn, that man is TALENTED – as Luise would say he dances like a cat .. meeeoooww! (our definition of how a cat dances means he is smooth but sassy at the same time – he woke up flawless.)It was a super upbeat and fun morning, I really wish we would have had more time with these two as I feel like they could have pushed us really far. These two men are super talented and I can not wait to dance with them once again in Los Angeles!

 After lunch, we had a KILLER WARM UP WITH LIN. I might add, she a maniac. She killed our arms with an “80’s styled arm work out” then continued with a freaking cardio, jumping, arm pumping bouncing all over the place cardio routine. Everyone was sweating within 10 minutes and screaming to boot. “PUMPPPP IT”

 If you have been following the blog, you know its teaching week for us. The time where we pretend we don’t know anyone and we teach a class – to each other. Cedric was up. He killed us with cardio … yet again – but with some booty pops. His choreography was dope and we all had a good time! After his evaluation, it was Nico’s turn. Nico taught us his African ways and made us wind our hips, shrug our shoulder and bring out our African side. It was a feel good, have fun and sweat kinda class.

 This is one long ass blog, and if you made it all the way through, props to you – you love us and you love reading our blog! HOLLA!

Until next time errrrrooonnne!

Love
