DAY 29 - October 8th 2014 (By Heinrich "Henry" Herrmann)


Today was a beautiful day - fortunately. 
Because we started with "easy" jogging in one of the nice parks of Malmö. 
And yesterdays weather was so bad. 
So we were all lucky to run in the sun. 
Right before we left to the studio, we repeated the choreographies and the names of all the Old- Middel and New School moves which Huyen taught us the last two days, because we were all scared to sit on the wall again. Asian drill style. I love it! ;) 

After that, we went back to the studio and had another awesome class with Huyen. She taught us a really nice choreography to the song "Wiggle" by Jason Derulo feat. Snoop Dogg. Although we all have heard this song a little bit too much in the worldwide charts, Huyen´s choreography was more than dope to it. 
And she taught so fast. At the end of her class we could dance the whole song! 
When we danced in groups she gave us really nice assignments to increase our movement. 

After Lunch we started again with her. 
In this class we didn't learned choreography but a lot of freestyle. 
First there was no real assignment. 
And than she added more and more. 
Her way of good freestyle dance should include the terms: "side to side, up and down, travel, turn and stop" 
I totally agree with her. 
And maybe some of you guys who reads this agree too or don´t know it yet. 
After she gave us her "rules" she added situations in which we should try to be in. 
First we should imagine that a huge storm is blowing us away, in our freestyle off course, and a massive earthquake shake us to the ground, and then aliens attack us and we must fight against them. These were the first three or four rounds and then there were: claustrophobia, ants attack, jungle and trapped in foil. 
It was so helpful to imagine a situation and dance in it. 
You create moves that you never think about that you can do. 
It helped me a lot and I guess I was not the only one.

The last minutes of this class was freestyle in a circle which was very small. 
We all had to stand shoulder to shoulder while one of us danced in it. Also a really nice experience. I can not say it to much. Huyen is more than DOPE! If you are in Oslo/Norway go and check her out. 

Afterwards Zhian had his test class with us and he did it so well! 
For me it was the funniest test class of all of us. 
He is such a funny guy and taught really good. 
He reminds me a little bit of Anthony Lee. And Lin and Karsten also liked his way of teaching.

Than we had a twenty minutes break before Luise started with the first regular YEP2 Hip Drop class. We all were so tired from this long day, but we forced our last strength together to rock with her and of course with Simonne who had the class right after Luise. 

A hard but good day is over, and I guess we all got to bed very early today :) 
Can not wait for the next two days!
