DAY 66 - December 8th 2014 (By Malene Rasmussen)

Hi blog!!

So we are back after a needed weekend. 

I feel like we have been going on for 2 weeks or more because of the show last weekend. 

But whatever, we are busy with dance and we all LOVE that so that’s definitely ok! 

This weekend felt like it went on forever though, and I missed my 2YEP family :-)

Now about this lovely Monday, which started out with the girls getting a Spice Girls flip. 

I have no clue where it came from but it was fun.

Today we started with a normal warm up with Lin and the awesome warm up programs

(Btw these programs are going to be changed for 2015 so it’s almost the last time we are doing them :-( or for the next 2 weeks but still sad) 

After the warm up we had K for about 20 min. 

And I can tell you my arms and neck are dying!!! 

Popping is crazy hard and difficult for many of us but we have a lot of fun doing it. 

Off course this popping warm up session is more a “show off” for out popper Henry but he is also sick so that’s fine. 

When Henry starts to freestyle some of us is trying to do the same things but I can tell you it doesn’t look good YET! 

I’m sure that we will be great some day at popping. HAHA.

After warm up we had a rehearsal with Lin for the show next week, woop woop. 

She taught us the combo crazy fast because many of us already learned it in her weekly classes. 

I feel sorry for the people who didn’t learn it before.....or actually I don’t because they caught it quite fast so they are good. 

She did groups in the end of class where she on purpose putt the people who hadn’t leaned in one group to push them selves more. 

She asked us all to practice at home so it will look super clean and nice tomorrow. Off course everyone will do that :-)

Then BALLET!!!! 

Yeeesssss we all missed ballet (and Laura) since we didn’t had it last week. 

And this time we had it in another studio. 

So exciting! 

More space for jumping and better floor for turns. 

For the first time in a long time everyone was in this class. 

No injuries, which is good. 

And best of all, “mama Lin” posted on Facebook that she is so proud of us and that she can se that we all improve in ballet. 

 Haha no shit Sherlock, if you saw some of us in the beginning you would think it would be hard for us not to improve because of our level. But I’m not talking in general because waow some of us is craaaazy good. (No, not me, don’t worry)

Please note the #proud!!!!

Ballet is over for today and we went back to the studio for class hour. We were all laughing our ass of. I don’t know what happened or I actually I do. 

K is the funniest man I no. Every time Lin said something he answered back like everything was about him (you should have been there) but you were not. 

What ever all in all it was a hilarious class hour talking about the performing coming up, what will happen next week (our last week before Christmas) and the most important thing of everything THE CHRISTMAS DINNER/PARTYYY!!!!!! 

But yeah that part stays private :-)

So this was the Monday. Hope you had fun reading it maybe not as fun as I had writing it.

Thank you

I’m out.

DAY 65 - December 5th 2014 (By Luise Knofe)

Hi dear readers,

It’s my turn again to write about one of our Fridays here in the Education. 
We started our day with a nice and long warm up with Lin. 
I am always happy to have a long warm up. 
I feel like my body really needs it to be prepared and ready for the day. 
Lin let us feel our arms, butts and abs very intensively this morning :) 
I really like to see our boys biting their teeth together when we do some butt-exercises haha. 
After our Fitness program we had a nice stretch, and I felt more than ready to start our last two classes with Mr. Sho Tyme. 
His Vibe is so impressive and everyone really enjoyed the time with him. 
This week I felt as groovy as never before. 
The two classes this Friday were really challenging, since we went through a lot of different dances and styles with him and repeated what we learned from him this week. 
I can tell you all: 
IT WAS FULL OUT! 
The first class was an ATL routine, which was really strong and full out. 
It was really nice, and I had to push myself through the class. 
After the class, we had a well deserved lunch time which was not really interesting so, let’s skip it. 
The second class of Sho was about all the different style that we learned during this week. 
We went through House Dancing, Hip Hop, ATL…..and we were drenched with sweat…it was fun. 

We finished the day with an Q&A with Mr. Tyme and Henry went full out with questions, which I have to say, was interesting! 
Shotyme´s knowledge and wisdom as well as his life story was really inspiring and we were all paying attention to every single word. 
Well, there’s always a time to say goodbye or better see you soon! 
That’s how the Sho Tyme experience ended.

Ready for the Weekend, 
Lots of Love 

Luise

DAY 64 - December 4th 2015 (By Heinrich "Henry" Herrmann)


Hey Dance World,


It is me again. You wonder why? Me too. But anyway ;) 

Today we had another great day with the legendary "Sho-Tyme" if you ever have the chance to take his classes do not miss it! 
It is pure dance and so much fun. 
Before I forget....you also will loose weight in his class because you are dancing the whole time, like a cardio dance class with total focus on dance of course. 

Today he also told us how the industry of dancing works in L. A. and it is not at all like you would expect.
He was very critical in that point. 
He said that, as a dancer you totally have to respect the dance as an art form. 
If you do not respect what you are doing, why should other respect you as a dancer. 
I really liked his "speech" about dancing. 

Afterwards we had a special class with Super Dave who also performed at our X-Mas show last Sunday. 
The first half of his class was choreography to a remix of "Rihanna's Diamonds", and in the second half we did a lot of freestyle. 
Personally I liked more his way of teaching freestyle than his choreography teaching......because in the freestyle class we got different exercises while we were dancing. 
For example we should not use our legs, or not the upper body and only the legs. 
That was fun. 
And of course he is so freaking funny while teaching. 

Right after we had lunch, and we had a little time to rest before we started again with Sho-Tyme. Before the next groove class we did a hardcore sit-up program with him. 
After that he introduces us to the south side Hip Hop dance styles. 
And we danced the last power out of our bodies. 

Today was also the last day of Lin's weekly Thursday classes and we had such a good time to dance to her choreography. 
Charlie and Gabriel roasted her pice. 

And that was it. 

See you next year party people. 
Have a great christmas time wherever you live. 
And think about dance as an art form.

DAY 63 - December 3rd 2014 (by Gabriel Goux)

Bonjour à tous !

Today it was Sho-Tyme day, a groovy day. 
Even if I don't always understand his grooves, it's a real pleasure to just play the music and dance.
It seems maybe cheesy but after all these chorepgraphies, which I really love, it's so good to dance and groove with everyone. 
I was happy to find this happiness in these simple grooves, if that makes sense. 
I aready thank him for the rest of the week which is coming really soon, if everything happens normally.

Now, I want to dedicate this blog to our XMAS CHARITY SHOW. 
I thank every single dancer who was there and I thank the cool audience that we had. 
But I thank especially my family, the 2YEP'ers. 
They made me feel this thing that I am so addicted. 
These goosebumps that my friends gave me.
No words, just a lot of feelings. 
THANK YOU MY FAM !

I have to leave you with these words.

Next time I will try to be less emotionnal.

See you my dear readers !

Gabriel
