This Week Is Crazy
Sunday, we had rehearsals.
I came late and we stayed later, felt like we got a lot done.
Monday, we had the Master Class workshop.
Kolanie's class was dope again. His second time at DREAM and he taught another fun class. Glad he came back, loved his choreo and energy.
Stephane's class was pretty cool. His style is like Nick Wilson (plus he's tall and white, too). His musicality is unique in a way, I didn't expect it. Fun class overall.
Jayson's class...hella' tiring. Even though the movements were easy, it was all about how clean you danced it. His class was pretty much everything Jenn said about it. He teaches you how to dance clean. I was nervous at first, I thought he'd teach fast and call people out for their mistakes (which he did, just not personally). His choreo was somewhat simple, someone difficult, overall fun. I would love to train under him, he really seems to know what he's doing.
Shit, we also had rehearsals before and after the workshop...you can imagine how tired we were.
Tuesday, first day of Free Dance Week.
It was fun and a great way to start the "free week" off. Me and Joe started a piece to What It Is by Sophia Fresh and Andrew assisted us which was cool. It was hard to make choreo because we're used to making stuff hard and...I guess somewhat intricate with a lot of energy but this is Hip-Hop 1, it has to be easy. The choreo itself starts off hard but slows down at the end which I personally thought was cool. All the new faces pretty much got the choreo, I was impressed. Andrew will be continuing the piece next week (the crazy beats start to kick in from where me and Joe left off)
Deerawk taught next...his class was HARD! Really advanced and energetic. His musicality is on-point as usual. Pretty gangster class, I'm excited to learn the rest of it. I fluked like half the dance and ended up in select group. Yezzur! Always kill the parts you know, if you forget something, get back into and KILL the rest of it!
The rest of the week is gonna' be tiring. Fortunately (and unfortunately) I'm not working tomorrow (I need money though) so I get to sleep in. Have rehearsals and classes, too. Thursday is gonna' be hella' busy. Friday...should be chill. Saturday might be interesting. It's all rehearsals from there.
Whatever, I'm tired. Fred ut!

Make That My Top 11!
I downloaded this song called "Quickie" by Miguel last night. I gave it a listen today while waiting for my bus and my creativity just went off choreo wise; very slow, simple and Shaun Evaristo inspired. Not that I try to mimic his style or moves or anything but the song reminds me of Estelle on "Come Over" which Shaun taught at DREAM. I love how he captures the mood of the song so I'm inspired to do the same with this one.

Top 10 At The Moment
Here's a few songs I'm feeling right now (not in order).
1. Unstoppable - Kat DeLuna ft. Lil Wayne
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N959CL56uU
I'm excited to perform this song as an opener for an upcoming performance. It's so hard and in your face...like a blow job. HAH!
2. Quickly - John Legend ft. Brandy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjRyAVdg7kA
I started choreographing to this song. It's different, very slow and somewhat emotional.
3. If I - Justin Timberlake ft. T.I.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXqP1BMiy2g
Also choreographed to this song, pretty dope. T.I.'s verse is sick.
4. No Competition - Ben Jacobs ft. Lil Wayne
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGgjjagvSq0
Beat is insane...don't know or care about this Ben Jacobs dude though.
5. Supernatural - Ciara
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KcMvRbtNps
Choreographed to this with Darryl, pretty sick.
6. Click Click Click - New Kids On The Block
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pVTGHXnpMU
I want to use this song but Axel already killed it. That tall ass handsome motherfucker!
7. Out Of The Blue - Ryan Leslie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPwLXaGquOY
Beat's dope. I wanna' use this song some time.
8. Be My Vixen - Miguel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPt15Xebk4o
Jenn killed this song with her choreo...I love it.
9. Come Over - Estelle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY1czW5YbN0
I couldn't find the actual song on youtube so just watch Shaun Evaristo dance to it. Probably my favourite dance so far.
10. LTLP - edIT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tWbv_ffNfo
This song is so sick, it inspires me. There's so many different sounds to hit, it just sparks my creativity.

Yezzur
I haven't been using this at all. I just checked in today and noticed I have "followers" or something on here. Cool!
I don't know who's going to read this but whoever does might find out something interesting about me as I'm using this as an outlet to express what's on my mind.
Also, I'll be posting dance videos, graphic art, pictures, music, etc...anything that I think is dope at the moment, I'll throw it up on here. Be sure to check it out!
Anyways, I'm excited for the Master Class workshop with Jayson Wright, Kolanie Marks and Stephane Charbonneau on March 2nd. Kolanie's class is hella' fun and apparently Jayson teaches you how to dance clean. Never seen anything from Stephane so I don't know what to expect but at the same time, he said not to expect anything which I guess is a good thing.
Everyone seems to be going places...Anne moved to Montreal, Jenn partially lives in L.A., I went to Norway with Ian, Elwin & Jenn, Gerwyn went to L.A., Simonne went to San Francisco, Dom went to Spain, Melay is in Winnipeg, Min is um, moving houses...one of my best friends lives in Thailand...WTF?!
Speaking of going plcaes, I hella' miss The Vibe! They're all such good people with positive energy, and I'm one of those people who vibes off positivity. I'm excited for Lars, Siri, Bao and Santos to come...and whoever decides to tag along with them!
Ok that's enough for today. It's only 12pm-ish, got a long day of dancing ahead of me.
