DAY 34 - October 15th  2014 (By Nico O´Holi)

Yooo My Beautiful Bloggers! 

Today was one of the most inspirational days of being at The Hip Drop, but we’ll get to that :)

We started off the day by meeting at the park for our weekly jog, it was pouring down with rain but luckily enough I had Cedric & Mike running beside me & music in my ears for motivation so it was refreshing! Incase you don’t know, every week we have to run around this massive lake followed by a park that looks exactly like in the Hunger Games. 

After this we did our normal stretch and prepared for Lin’s class. 

This is where nobody knew what was coming next… 

Mama Lin had sat as all down and explained in details about the tragic story of the massacre that happened in Norway in 2011. 

She did this so we could all feel a deeper emotion when learning and performing the piece. 

Straight away I was ready as I love using specific motives to help me explore different movements.

So now its time to do the choreo in groups… 

*LightsInTheStudioGoOff* & this is when the magic happened.

It was as if the music & the moment took over everyones soul & every single person was just in their own world, I could tell in that movement that everyone had something on their minds as the expression in not only their faces but bodies was incredible. 

I’m sitting back watching my brother Oliver dance with tears coming down his face and it was in that moment I felt tears coming down my face. 

Looking around the room to see everyone in their own corner covered with intense emotion. By the end of class hour Lin had called everyone in a circle to tell us how proud she was of us with Mike then saying ‘and what else’ lol he always has to make everyone laugh haha.

But with this question from Mike followed with our mother feeding us with compliments including how beautiful we are which for sure always builds my motivation. 

It was as if my mum was hovering over not just me but all of us, my new family. 

I know she is smiling from ear to ear in heaven knowing that I have someone like Lin as a mother figure, dance teacher, organiser, director and dream fulfiller all in one. 

As I said, it was an inspriational class hour & reminded me of how thankful I am to have these people around me everyday! 

After lunch was K’s theory class where we learnt the meaning of bars and understanding rhymes which could hugely benefit our creation of choreography. 

After learning an old school rap of Run DMC, K split us up into 3 crews where we had to come up with a four bar rap. 

Off course my crew was the dopest with the best bars.

CREW 1 (Nico, Oliver & Michael)

"2014 & 2Yep’s here

Take over Malmö we don’t f*cking careeeeee

fa. fa. f*cking care

Heading straight to the top you know we’ll be thereeeeee"

We won’t talk about the other crews as they were defeated after our bars ;) 

I always hate this part of the blog, saying goodbye - until next time
