The Aftermath

Been about a week since Funka Finals. As what a fellow dance-mate mentioned, it was a big night for hip hop locally. This will definitely go down as a major event in the dance history in Singapore.

Great dancing, great music but there was much to be improved on the organizing part. This competition is one of the longest running in the dance scene in Singapore. And i believe with the history of over 10 years, there should be a minimum standard maintained. Quite diappointed in the management this year...

Kudos to all the dancers for the great show though.

There's another competition coming up in Feb this year.

Some inspiration from the east. Time to work hard!!!

Getting Inspired

I believe there were many in the audience which are inspired in one way or another after the funka prelims yesterday.

We never fail to be amazed with dancers who have superb techniques, charismatic stage presence and “feel” for the music. At a point or another, we have set our benchmark on a group or if not, an individual as to where we want to end up.

This kind of feeling has always generated enough thoughts to get us wanting to work harder and push ourselves over our limits. And usually due to a performance we watched or someone we saw. This would be categorized as the “pull factor”.

However, I believe we should also have this “push factor” within ourselves to want to grow more and be better than the day before. We cannot be too dependent by external factors only.

Anyway, finals will on the Jan 27th at youth park from 5pm onwards.

New Year Post

First post for the new year.



A very belated Happy New Year to All!!! hahahaha



Been complained about again....



Just some updates for this year.

Helping a team do some choreography for Funka. Apparently, a lot of teams have choreographers to help them this year. It's becoming more of a choreographers' showcase rather than just a dance competition. The items will be something to look forward to but there are other aspects of the competition which require some much needed improvement.

Also, i'm looking forward to sessioning for this year ahead. Lots to learn and lots to train on.
This would also be a busy year ahead with the number of dance productions, showcases and competitions that will be coming up. Things are really looking up for the dance scene this year.

New quote for the week, sadistic but its part of the growing process.

"Enjoy the hardship, Love the pain. "
