D2MG Presents Back to the 90s Workshop Part II

March 26th 2008 00:00
So now that the word is out about my new dance studio, I'm gonna be posting our events and stuff here more regularly just to try and help us out. This Friday we're holding a part 2 of the Back to the 90s workshop we held a few weeks ago, special (i.e. FREE) for UNSW ARC D2MG members (because they're probably broke as balls as most university students are), and normal class prices for everyone else.

It's during the day on Friday since it's university holidays, and I'll be teaching a partner routine to No Diggity. The theme is the 90s, which means all the classes will be taught to music from the 90s, since it was the best decade for R&B/Hip Hop IMHO, and watch out for our next special workshops, starring the Prince of Pop, the legendary Michael Jackson, in late April. I'll be teaching Hip Hop/Funk to "Smooth Criminal" ooo yeah can't wait.

My new dance studio - D2MG Hip Hop Academy

March 25th 2008 01:29
Well I've kept it on the low but I thought I should write about it now - my dream of running my own dance studio has come true Since the beginning of this year, I've opened up my very own D2MG Hip Hop Academy, as an extension of a university club I used to run, now with our own base in a handy location right in the middle of Sydney CBD.

Starting out with dance classes and then expanding into DJ courses, MC sessions, graffiti and beatboxing workshops, it's a humble and very ghetto place hidden away like treasure with a gold mine of Hip Hop dancing resources. We're one of the few places that teach real street style dancing, more like America's Best Dance Crew than Australia's SYTYCD (boring!)

We like to focus on the development of students with our intensive performance courses, with a range of casual classes for those who aren't so serious about dancing. Check us out at www.d2mg.com. If you want... you don't have to you know, it doesn't bother us, I mean there are things outside of dance anyway...

Doppelgangers win Looze Control 2008 Sydney Heats 1

March 24th 2008 11:48
Doppelgangers win looze control 2008 sydney auditions 1
Doppelgangers


The first heats of the Looze Control "Urban" (hate that word) Crew competition held last night at Wenty Leagues Club dragged on but it was worth it to see my bestfriend Lenny's crew take it out in a well deserved win. It was even more special as it was their debut performance as a crew - Doppelgangers (look it up). I was supposed to judge but because of some dramas I stood down and will judge the other heats and finals but for those who care, here are some of my comments on their performance.


[EDIT: Video has been removed until after they compete in Australian Hip Hop Champs]

1. They were really tight, more synchronized than all the other crews who would try to balance this with impressive tricks and funny skits.

2. They were entertaining and had a lot of stage presence, while doing large amounts of choreography, instead of too many skits, formation changes and tricks here and there.

3. I liked:
- Chux's high kick
- Chux sliding onto the floor grabbed by Lenny into perfect formation
- Chux and Lenny's kissing skit; their disgusted faces were hilarious
- Raymond and Roni's partner spin
- The punching line where Raymond gets knocked out by either Ella or Roni (can't tell)
- the Ne-Yo partner routine; all I could see was Chux's "Prince" face and the way he was looking at Jessica, it was sex. It sent shivers down my spine and elsewhere. They are the partners second from the right.
- The cheesy SMILE. So Lenny, so love it.
- Locking to Gym Class Heroes' "Clothes Off". Love it, and Jet flashing his abs.

Review - 360 Freestyle Crew Battle Competition, UNSW, March, 2008

March 12th 2008 02:32
360 freestyle crew dance battle critical hype roundcircle trina d2mg


I have to say that the 360 Freestyle Battle Competition last Saturday night was the best dance event I've ever been to. Brought by Critical Hype in conjunction with Round Circle Entertainment, these guys did an amazing job with the event, especially for their first time, with room for improvement, but hey that's how it usually goes.

I was asked to judge at this event, a bit skeptical at first because they wanted to factor in crowd-judging in the criteria, and dancers know that would be a big mistake. We were a panel of 5 judges and we made a few unpopular decisions but were supported by the majority of dancers so there wasn't too much controversy.

I guess this post is intended for those who went, or heard about the event; for those who don't know anything about the event, just watch the videos. It shows how amazingly talented the underground street dancers are - don't waste your time on SYTYCD

Shout out to Jerome and El, MC Tuppz and DJs D-Kutz and Xile for their awesome effort.

Couple of comments/feedback:

1. Just to let everyone know there was a miscommunication with my Judge's showcase - it was a style demonstration, where all the teachers from D2MG Hip Hop Academy showed their specialty, after my student showcase from my Intermediate Intensive Performance Course.

2. The reason why Juse Crew lost against Treble, Bass & Soul was that our criteria consisted mainly of musicality and versatility. We felt that Juse Crew did not have much of these, it was entertaining but not what we were looking for in a battle.

3. I do not agree with one of the other judge's comments about Krump Etiquette being applied to the freestyle battles. These battles have time limits, they are BATTLES which means you don't wait for someone to get ready to get in the middle to do their thing, they miss out. It's called COMMANDO and demonstrates presence and battle skills. Besides, battle criteria should have been stated at the beginning of the event, so that's another thing to learn.

4. To the guy from a certain crew who claimed that I was biased because one crew I voted for had teachers at my studio, get your facts straight because I had teachers from my studio in most of the crews, same with the other judges and we all have ties with most of the dancers because it's such a small community so stop bitching and start practicing more.

5. No one likes sore losers. You're all winners until you start talking sh*t about everyone and everything else to avoid thinking about why you lost in the first place.

6. I just gotta comment that there were many times during the night where dancers had the most appropriate part of a song, and really used it to their advantage. We like that. It makes us wet our pants.

7. The final decision was UNANIMOUS, it was such a close battle but the winning team, Toilet Funk 9 showed more versatility within individual dancers as well as within their crew, they had slightly better use of musicality and had a bigger presence as a crew.

Just some advice for crew battles in the future (take it or leave it, agree or disagree):

- DO NOT count in your routines, it's a freestyle battle. Many crews did this after I had told everyone not to. Lose points for not listening.

- Integrating routines in a freestyle battle is ok as long as it is balanced with freestyles (and one person at a time per crew please) and I find that this works well after someone's solo, or if its a large number of people then anytime is fine but just make sure you're synchronised.

- This takes time, but the more you spend time with your crew, the more you know what they're capable of, their moves and their sets so you can read them during battle and play along. The winners, Toilet Funk 9 did this really well, as well as Watermelon Bandits at some stages, but everyone in the crew should be paying attention to the battle, to support their teammate or to diss the other team. Be alert!

Videos and pictures will be posted in the part 2 of this review (when I have time please bare with me!)

Valentine's Day... single or not, love it or hate it

February 14th 2008 01:02
penguin love on valentine's day


I don't really get excited or make a fuss about Valentine's Day and believe that celebrating love and romance should be done regularly over your relationship and not just kept to your significant other, but with family and friends also. Like any other special occasion or holiday, it's become so commercialised that there's more money than effort (and sometimes thought) into presents.

If you're single don't dread today, or future V-Days because you don't have a partner; look on the bright side - you may or may not have family or friends that you can devote time and energy to on this day, instead of moping around feeling sorry for yourself and looking on Ninemsn for tips on how to avoid lovebirds this evening. If you see a sweet couple don't roll your eyes in disgust or slump your shoulders in sadness - just think, that'll be you someday with the perfect someone and they'll be worth the wait.

Read the next section and if you don't have a 'significant other' then apply it to people you're close to.

If you're in a relationship sure, use today as a day to start making an extra effort for your significant other, whether or not things are going smoothly or you're hitting some rough patches. Try and do things that you can't just buy, or that are more practical like...

Write them a list of "101 Reasons Why I Love You" (as inspired by an article I read today about a bride dying during her first wedding dance - it might get you a bit teary!)

Sing them the song from the Wedding Singer that Adam Sandler sung on the plane, and use their leg as a guitar if you don't have one to play or to use as a prop. If you don't know or can't remember the song then make one up similar, it doesn't have to rhyme and should have some funny moments also e.g "Hello my sweetie, you are so pretty, I like you so much and you make me feel witty..."

Make them some chocolate-dipped strawberries and feed them most of the strawberries (don't be selfish!)

Give them a really good massage that actually removes the knots and tension in their shoulders , neck and back, not just a sensual body-to-body one with massage oil

Slow dance with them in your room/lounge/kitchen spontaneously (try and put some music on, Lionel Richie or one of my boyfriend's favourites "I Finally Found Someone" by Barbara Streisand and Bryan Adams).

And most importantly, make this level of effort MORE OFTEN. You can create a 4 line song everyday, slow dance after dinner once a week at least, and give a massage when they give a big sigh and slump their shoulders after a hard day's work.

Thinking, Reading, Writing about Dancing

October 24th 2006 23:50
“True Ease in Writing comes from Art, not Chance,
As those move easiest who have learn’d to dance.”

- Alexander Pope

Even if you're so passionate about something, and can't imagine life without it, there are times when your enthusiasm starts to fade, and the interest starts to wane - what gets you back up on your feet? What keeps you going?

Nobody cares if you can't dance well.
Just get up and dance.
Great dancers are not great because
of their technique,
they are great because
of their passion.


- Martha Graham


Express yourself. Don't mind those that tell you that (they think) you can't dance. Say nothing, OR "I'm dancing to the beat of MY OWN drum".

Those who danced were thought to be quite insane
by those who could not hear the music.


- Angela Monet


Stop being so hard on yourself. Only you are holding yourself back. Listen to the music and let it carry you away...

Dance like no one is watching.
Sing like no one is listening.
Love like you've never been hurt;
and live like it's heaven on Earth.


- Mark Twain


If music moves you, don't hold back and stay content in your seat. Enjoy it. Celebrate it. Express yourself, don't repress yourself.

The truest expression of a people
is in its dances and its music...
Bodies never lie.


- Agnes De Mille



We should consider every day lost
on which we have not danced at least once.
And we should call every truth - 'false',
which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.

- Friedrich Nietzsche


Think, feel, dance, love. That is truly living.

Only the wise can dance the rhythm of life.


- Unknown


During times like these - reflective periods - I like to call them, I find inspiration in the wise ones before me. Life certainly does go on.

Life is not waiting for the storm to pass,
but learning to dance in the rain...

Dancing: the downside (back from hiatus)

October 23rd 2006 21:30
Yes I know, I'm sorry. Several people have wondered if I had fallen off the face of the earth after the lack of posts on any of my blogs for a while (that is, about a month). What brings me back from hiatus is ironically, a broken back.

When I first got into blogging, I was enthusiastic, passionate, dedicated like a first year university student who wouldn't miss a class or lecture, ask for an extension on an assessment or plagiarize.

Then you start getting busier and busier with extra curricular activities that your parents don't find any potential in, career-wise, but you do them anyway because you've convinced yourself to follow your heart or be stuck with a life you absolutely despise. The frequency of your blogging decreases as you adopt a more "less talk, more action" view on life and you find yourself on stage with a drag queen in front of thousands of half-naked gay men and women (wait for future post "SLEAZEBALL" to be written after my rant).

All of a sudden, BAM, you crack your back, having what is described as a hernia of the spinal disc in your lower back and you're told it takes on average six months to recover (although it's never cured and you'll be stuck with back problems for the rest of your life).

Spinal Disc Herniation (Wikipedia)
Spinal Disc Herniation (Wikipedia)


Spinal Disc Herniation (Wikipedia)
MRI scan (not mine) of a spinal herniation
With doctor's orders to avoid sitting down at all times, besides abstaining from most physical activities, you find yourself at the computer again, thinking now what the f--- do I do? So back to blogging it is.

I never thought I'd ever take dancing as more than something fun to do once in a while; I never thought it would take me this far, to becoming a somewhat professional dancer with no technical jazz, ballet, tap training; I never thought I would perform along celebrities, win competitions or travel because of it; I never thought it would become my life.

Still, there's no use crying over spilt milk (or in this case, my spilt spinal disc) and it's not like I lost any limbs or had severe spinal injuries preventing me from walking, let alone dancing again.

Maybe it's just a sign that it's time for me to take a break anyway, after going all hard out for the last two years, and it came at a time when DJing is just starting to make its way into my life (although I can't bend over so changing the vinyls can be a bitch).

A friend of mine suggested I focus on Popping (old school funk style of dance) - not a bad idea but my first choice would be Hiphop or Locking, or some Breaking.

The timing does suck though, since I've had to pull out of the national Shakedown urban dance competition in Melbourne, next weekend, but regardless, I'll still rock up with my crew, in uniform and all, cheering them from backstage.

This experience has made me thankful that I have things to fall back on, like my university studies in non-dance-related areas and it makes me wonder what full-time professional dancers do when they're physically injured to a point that it completely stops them from dancing...?

On another note, my physiotherapist is extremely hot, but I'm pretty sure he's gay. Not that I'm looking anyway...

Also, we have just recently been informed that we can now add forums to our blogs. I'm gonna test one out on this Dancing site, for those looking for classes of all styles in Australia and New Zealand, so please post if there's any information you would like to share, or any questions you want to ask.

Chux on the Definition of a Dancer

June 15th 2006 03:33
Hey It's Chux back again, for another little bit of information on dance. My specific focus is usually on styles of hip hop dance, but this will be a more broad range topic.
Just to let people know, since someone asked before, I'm located in Sydney, Australia, and I have been dancing for 2 years now. Current styles i practice are popping, milking, and krumping.
Heres a clip of my group at work

Sneaker Pimps Performance, Chux, Raljk and BJ


My focus is on individual dancers. What makes someone a dancer? what draws the line between someone who happens to dance and a Dancer?
In my (humble) opinion... I see it this way.

in HIP HOP dance, dancers originated as soloists, that is, individual dancers with amazing skills, some that often banded together to form extremely well known crews, such as Rock steady crew in NYC, or the Electric Boogaloos in California.

To consider yourself a dancer, to do routines is not enough. you must have individual ability to move to the music. You must have personal skills, wether good or bad. if you cannot move by yourself when music comes on, then you are not a dancer. you do predetermined moves to the music, moves that can be "cut and pasted" to other songs. You must let the music move you, dance with a personal connection to the music you are dancing to.

i find it strange how people assume that hip hop dance is all the same. that movements cannot originate anymore. People thought for decades that new dance styles could not emerge. a perfect example is the recent emergence of krumping. a definite new style to each other hip hop style, yet influenced by all styles. Why can i not find inspiration for my own moves? why must i have bitten moves from video clips? the truth is that a lot of so called "dancers" give true dancers a bad name. By biting and reusing old moves from movies and videos, instead of letting their own skills influence them. True dancers, although some times their moves may resemble others that you have seen, it is on a personal level that they create those movement sequences. This is not biting, this is (to borrow from biology) something i call convergent choreography. dancers interperet music and move their bodies in similar ways, and thus similarities occur.

A Practice Clip of A Guy Located in Cali
Practice, such as this clip here, is very important. it proves your dedication to a dance style, and your willingness to work at it to improve. That's one of my guidelines for being a Dancer.

So far we've got 2,
Individual ability Ability to learn Choreography
Practice & Dedication

My third guideline is a short one. Humility
It is important to understand that in the dance world, no matter how good you get, there will always be someone better than you. and if by your extreme hard work and practice you do get to the top, then there are unlimited dancers under you that could be better if you slack off for a day. So my idea is to approach it like this.
All dancers will continue learning forever. True dancers always remain students to the art, and are not overconfident, or cocky.

if you don't really do any of this, then you dance, that's cool, but i don't really think you have the dedication enough to call yourself a dancer. its like i called myself a basketball player because i play once in awhile.

These are my guidelines that i set on myself, and i've found a lot more people respect me as a dancer when i abide by them.

Chux on Battle Guidelines

June 15th 2006 03:30
Hey Guys I'm Chux, friend of Katrina and a fellow dancer.

By most accounts, I'm a Hip Hop dancer. I use the style of popping as my base style, explained by Katrina earlier in one of the posts, read up on that one if you haven't already. Also, I do milking, otherwise known as commercial hip hop, and lately i've been training up on locking and krumping, some more styles that Katrina has written about. Good to see that most of my work here is done.

My Group - Sneaker Pimps. Performance at a Dance comp.
My first order of business here, is to Put up some battle rules for those dancers that like to participate in battles. Usually this is for Hip Hop dancers, but it's mostly just a code of respect.

Battle Rule 1: Patience.

When in a battle situation, the prcoess is that one side will come out, usually for about a minute and a half, then go back and wait as the other side shows their skills for around the same time frame. This also means you do not interrupt an already ongoing battle or the other side's turn.
Battles are not about who can take up the dance floor longer, or who can go for the longest without having to stop. Its about a display of skills, so both sides must give the other a reasonable amount of time to perform, and wait unti lthey are done. Be patient, the time to show your skills will come soon.

Battle Rule 2: Respect.

In the battle, you can intimidate, you can get in the persons face, you can insult. But if the person is a stranger to you, or is not a good friend, dont touch them in the battle. For example, get in my face, thats cool, I'll get back. Grab my hat, don't think I won't grab it back or grab yours. But if you push me, you've crossed the line. Dance battles are about dance, not actual physical contact. Bear that in mind and the next battle you have will be a lot more interesting.

Battle Rule 3: Match-Up.

Battles can only really be judged between 2 opponents doing the same styles. A recent battle I saw involved a krumper against a guy who does every thing BUT krumping. Was going to turn out bad to start with. The krumper only krumps, while the other guy would be shaking, milking, popping, doing even house and new style. So it was badly judged by the crowd, who reacted more to the visually pleasing styles of new style, shaking, house, and popping.
Battles are a show of skill of 2 different dancers, each in a specific style. Breaker battles, pop battles, krump battles, all of that. Battles of the best kind are of 2 of the same styles.

Battle Rule 4: Originality.

In a battle, use your own moves, sets, and routines. don't use someone elses move that you learned for fun, sure you learn it, but you don't use it to battle. You haven't participated in the battle if thats the case, Only the moves you used. Too many times have I seen guys try to battle me using moves straight out of Usher clips, Omarion Clips, or more recently, Chris brown Clips. Stick to your moves, you won't look like a biter. People hate biters, while they respect people trying to improve their skills.


That's all for me today, Just some guidelines to help make your next battle experience more enjoyable and entertaining.

Are you wack? 10 ways to become a better dancer

May 12th 2006 18:06
Most people are too shy or scared to take a class by themselves, or at all. I know people will stay in the comfort of their own homes and try to themselves how to dance by looking for clips or instructional sites on the Internet without physically taking several classes first. *shakes head*

For those getting into dancing or wanting to improve... you HAVE to:

1. Take a dance class - this way you get the feel of things and are taught the RIGHT way how to do things otherwise you'll look wack.

Jackie teaching at D2MG, UNSW
Dance classes are fun, friendly environments

2. Practice - all the time, everyday if you can, with and without mirrors. Videotape yourself if possible so you can see what you're doing looks good or not to you, (but also seek other opinions).

3. Listen to music - get used to the beat, rhythm and lyrics so you can start feeling the dance to the music and not just doing set moves.

4. Freestyle - as much as you can. This means listening to the music and dancing to it however you choose to interpret it.

5. Specialise first - Concentrate on one or two styles of dance at a time and when you get better at them, you can start adding other styles if you wish while still improving your skills in the first dance styles. A lot of people tend to switch their focus, depending on what appeals to them the most.

For the beyond beginner dancers:

6. Be versatile - this is for those who have been dancing for a while and have trained in a few styles to get to advanced level.

7. Socialise with other dancers - easier said than done, but dance classes, clubs and such are the best way to do this; once you start hanging around dancers their passion and enthusiasm will keep motivating you to stick to it.
(c) Universal Studios

8. Don't be afraid to dance - I'm talking mainly about parties and clubs; who cares if people are watching you. Focus on having a good time, but in some ways having others' attention is a great way to whip you into shape so you'll practice in fear of looking like a fool.

9. Join or make a dance crew - the best way to improve and stay motivated. Make sure you're all friends first and socialise out of dancing otherwise it won't last. Trust me.

10. Watch dance movies, clips - a great way to keep motivated. Michael Jackson by far has the best dance videos. Also check out his sister Janet, Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliott, Aaliyah, B2K and even Britney's concerts and clips.

Don't worry guys, every dancer had to start somewhere; take the risk because you're the only thing that's holding you back (or lack of finances). Stop being a lazy ass, get up and move!

Confessions of a Serial Dancer

May 11th 2006 18:30
Nu Skool Club
I have always loved to dance; I come from a background of pure freestyling – raw and untrained, mostly to R&B. It was only just a year ago that I started taking classes, mainly for my health and for fun, highly doubtful that it’ll become more than a hobby, let alone a passion that I’ll dedicate my life to.

After taking classes in Hiphop, street funk and street jazz, I ventured further into the worlds of specialist styles like popping, locking, boogaloo, breaking, new jack swing, house, punking, wacking, shaking, reggae/dancehall, clowning, krumping, and milking. I even went outside Hiphop styles to try Bollywood, burlesque, Latin and, yes, pole dancing; I have yet to take a class in tap/ballet/jazz and classical/traditional cultural dances.

D2MG
Street Rehearsal @ World Square, Sydney


Why not? To be a good dancer requires dedication and lots of practice; to be an awesome freestyler it is essential to have versatility, foundation, controlled power, precise technique and confidence.

Battlegrounds
Freestyle dance battle, Sydney

Now, I specialize in freestyle dance. It is dancing without any prepared routines or ‘sets’ that combines a variety of different dance styles and influences. It is highly useful nowadays in popular culture and especially in the ever-growing Hiphop scene.



So stick around and get educated, be inspired, take action and keep motivated!
