My Dance Journey- Modern & Hiphop
Okay so in Primary School, I was in Contempt for awhile in p1.
But I have no idea why did I stop.
I even bought the ballet shoes and I have no idea why did I stop.
It was for quite a short while.
So after that I've not touched dance until I touched Latin.
And then I've joined Modern Dance in Secondary school.
Hougang Sec's modern dance is a modern version of Chinese dance. /get it?
Our instructors are all china instructors.
And so our modern dance's a more modern Chinese dance. Yes jiu jiang.
During secondary school other than Hs modern dance, I've also joined my darlings in RMD.
It was supposingly Representing Modern Dance but we didn't want to use our cca name so Ardella quoted Rhythm Meets Dance. 🎉
Tada, RMD is formed.
Our first performance was for Teacher's day, when I was in Sec 1.
We'll do all sorts of crazy things for our trainings.
Meeting up in classes during recess for training, going all the way to queenstown for training, hogging the Music room during recess for training.
Oh wow the memories.
Then as we go along, we've joined different competitions and performance (more like Teacher's Day only).
And it was the first few times that I had trainings till late at night.
We're now too busy in our lives that we only meet once/twice a year.
Other than those in TPDE and Ophila, I rarely meet the rest.
And we're forever saying that we're going to have steamboat at someone's house but we forever cannot make it.
Awwww, miss them so much 💕

Okay so after HS, I got in to TP.
I registered for Modern with Colleen and I registered for Hiphop alone.
I have no idea what did I do for modern auditions lmao.
For my freestyle I just turned and turned and anyhow whack. Lmao
And for Hiphop, I went alone.
Sighs what is life.
Again for the auditions, I didnt know what was I doing.
And I can still remember it was a public holiday for the auditions. AHAHAHAHAHAH.
Who goes for an audition in school on a Public holiday? /me
So I got into both TPDE modern and hiphop.
And I swear the commitment level is crazy.
The first was STL, I really had difficulties in both genres.
I didn't have any modern/hiphop basics.
(HS modern is not literally modern dance)
So I was thinking of pulling out of my hiphop item.
I couldn't really pull out of my modern as there was only 4 people including me and I'm so happy that all 4 of us stayed through tpde. /hugs M4/
But like after talking to those in my hiphop item, I decided to stay and thus I cried a lot after STL when the choreographers 'debriefed' us.
And so after STL, everyone in tpde had cliques and all while I was a lost sheep.
Colleen by then had quited modern and I had to go to modern classes alone.
I was really NOT motivated to go for classes alone since modern had 2 major cliques and I'm not in either of them.
And so I didn't.
The same goes for hiphop, even though the hiphop side is not as clique-ish but erm how to say, I don't really like to socialize so I'm a awkward turtle. /awkwardddddd
As time goes, I slowly didn't go for hiphop classes and I didn't attend Modern classes at all.
After STL was gem8, my first dance production.
I was only in one hiphop item, and not in the year 1 modern item.
Because of my attendance lmao.
Oh well, embrace it because that one hiphop item was good.
So through that item, I kinda clique well with the item people and yay I've closer friends in tpde!
/lmao
Hi YiTing and Limjing I love ya'll, ya'll know right. 💕
There are other closer friends as well but not that close.
And so after gem 8, I started to went for classes again.
And then Insync, was my first dark themed modern item and my second hh with Jeremy and co. 😂
In the same hh as Yiting, Limjing and Stef again. Ew. AHAHAHHAHAHA. <3
And was supposed to drop insync due to my world issues test which was happening on the same day as insync but insync was in the morning while my test was in the afternoon.
Where all the year 2s batchmates come together and put up a performance for dreams, a production with other tp performing arts.
Dreams was short and sweet.
How we get to bond more as a batch, the trainings, crazy quick change and etc.
The quick change is crazy.
Like crazy.
On the actual performance, I didn't even get to wear my socks out. Lmao.
After dreams was Gem9, voices.
I had two items, hh and joyan modern.
When I knew I had a modern item and especially in Joyan's item, I was really happy.
Like I really really like Joyan's style and their choreography's really nice. /fangirls
And I was in Yoshi's hh item but it got cancelled also I was in Junwei's item.
Gem9 was truthfully not as fun as Gem8 but the experiences was great.
And especially the mass part of Joyan's item, can feel everyone on the stage, the feeling is omg one.
The feeling is really really touching and nice and can cry.
I cried inside a little because can feel that everyone in the item was together at that one move.
Thanks Joyan item people. 💕
And so after gem, I've been going for oschool's street jazz classes with Karen-ly and I've been wanting to go for Ryan's modern class but that burden abit don't like. Zzzzz.
Anyways, its a new AY and I can't wait for modern classes to start. Its been so so so so so long.
Ooops, sorry.
Lots of Love; Joey |
