DAY 43 - November 4th 2014 (By Malene Rasmussen)

Hi blog

Wow, it has been a while since last time

(Lin forgot to put me, Mike and Michael in the blog list! HAHA)

So YES we are all back on track hungry and hard working after our small break. 

I missed everyone SOOOO much so it’s nice to be back. 

You can feel everyone is full of new and fresh energy.

Today we started with a 45 min. warm-up with some of our usual programs. 

Lin really corrected us in how we do our push ups and crunches which was great and everybody was working harder on getting stronger. 

The girls are alowd to do the push ups on the knees but all of us are trying our best to do the normal ones. 

But I look around and I saw some of the guys on their knees…. Hmm….serious guys, you need to step it up :-)

After the warm up Cedric taught us his part of our piece for our X-MAS show. 

We have an assignment where we all need to choreograph a part of the song that has been given to us all.

I REALLY liked Cedric´s part (sad I’m not going to do it, because I m not in that particular part) but it was nice to learn. 

It was great.....some of the other parts in the piece are more smooth and slow, and this one was sharp and fast. 

But it also had to be because of the part in the music that he got. 

A LOT of beats but only a few lyrics.

Then we started our weekly Jazz class. 

We went through the warm up without music first, and then with music to make sure everyone got it right. 

Today we also did some small jumps so we were ready to do higher jumps later in the class. 

After the warm up we did diagonals, and we did turns, jumps and kicks.
We didn’t have any choreography this time because we are focusing more on the technique, which is really good and needed for some of us. 

But I can see that everyone is improving in our technique, and we are all starting to figure out where in the other styles we can use and get advantage of this technique.

Then LUCH....everyone seemed hungry today! HAHAH.

After lunch we did a short warm up and then it was Michael’s turn to teach his piece. 

This one was a couple piece. 

Because of the big group of boys and only 4 girls the boys had to dance together. 

It was hard to keep the focus in the beginning because almost everyone was laughing because of the “boy couples.” 

But after a while we went serious again and everybody made it work.

So this was one more day at THE HIP DROP studio that’s still amazing.

The time is flying....we have already been here for more than 2 months. 

It’s crazy….. but that means LA SOON!!! 

(or in April but still) ARHHHH CAN’T WAIT   :-)

Sorry, digress. 

But yes thank for reading dear blog readers.

WE <3 U

I’m out.
