Organization and growing

I realized that dancers are usually not very good organizers but i guess its because of the artisitic and freeform nature? But it would be stereotyping to put all dancers into this category.

There's a very important point in getting organised especially in dance. Taking the example of Kaba modern which is one of my favs for the moment. It is not easy to organise a rehearsal for so many people.

Getting everybody down for practice is already not easy. To hit together with precise timing will require even more effort and time. Lots of Respect for that.

Also another thing is the passing on of knowledge. Also from the example of Kaba modern, i see that they have grown much in their 15 years of history. I believe they have been passing on both the values and knowledge. Both the techniques and passion. Growth happens when the things are accumulated as a group over time. Something for us to think about...

Studio and Street Dancers

Had a great night at Hip Hop Nite 2008.

Some thoughts that came after after a friend mentioned about the difference between street and studio dancers.

The thing about studio dancers are learning techniques and movments which are sort of part of the "syllabus" whereas street dancers have more creativity and the perfomance element in them. Generally the 'feel' for the music is the basic element in dance but the visual point in the body movement has also an important role in creating dance. This groove or "feel" for the music which some dancers generally lack is something for us to think about.

"Music inspires the movements" - food for thought
