dancing in nyc

ok this post is for all the dancers reading my blog!!!

excuse my sweatiness.
so i took a few classes while i was in nyc! didnt take photos with all the instructors...


jermaine browne... very inspirational
love the way he teaches... u can tell he's really passionate about teaching, not in it just for the money. he bothers to point out what you're doing wrong and is very blunt and frank with u... smth i have to learn.


sheryl murakami. sexiness personified. her classes are always full!! but shes so spunky and full of life, her personality and her routines are super fun


haha act sexy shot


rhapsody... another inspiration. reminded us to live our lives to the fullest. love yourself. really talented choreographer, her routine was really shiok to dance.


LUAMMMM ... such a dream to attend her class. she so down to earth. choreography is SICK SICK SICK.

dancing in ny really puts things in perspective, i really feel (in fiona's words) like a small potato here. it sets new limits... makes me reassess myself. and this is just ny, i haven't even gone to LA yet. you can feel that the dancers here really want it... they're so passionate about dancing. every single time they do a routine its seriously FULL OUT. and their energy makes you wanna push hader too... the choreographers... are just amazing. talented people. think about the best dancers you know in sg...then you times 100. im really so blessed to have been able to attend their classes.

dogpark!

memorial altar at st paul's cathedral -
a place of refuge for the firefighters who were at the scene of 911. entering the church you feel really heavy hearted, it puts names and stories to the anonymity you get from the mass media, makes you wanna thank them for being heroes... and it's touching to see the nation come together to support each other during such a hard time

so we were supposed to catch block party at night, and after queueing in the crazy wind we got in and realized the show was on the 28th of MARCH not FEBRUARY and we were watching some other jam band thing....
it was fun though. finally got to breathe non-west-lafayette air.
