Behind The Dance…

The dance was conceptualised for Wynette and my Arabian Nights themed LDF event held in Klang on 19 Oct 2019. So Philip Sobrielo and Winson Eng came by my place on the eve of the event to finalise the dance steps, until wee hours of the morning.

About the Song & Phrasing

We chose the music 1001 Nights Arabian Nights by Ch!pz, a pop group from the Netherlands to fit the theme of the event. The dance is called 1001 Nights with signature moves from the artists themselves, showing the 1-0-0-1 arm movements which are really cool. We had the dance phrased to fit the different melody and tempo and lyrics of the music, but the steps are fairly simple and repetitive in nature. The music will tell you when to do what, it’s pretty obvious.

We hope you will enjoy this fun dance, esp the arms bit. We did and the music is catchy and awesome. Do take a look!

On a side note, we raised RM8000 from ticket sales, donations and proceeds from stalls, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who have contributed in one way or another, making the event a great success. Love you all <3

New Dance: Run Run Runaway

Jennifer Choo Sue Chin | August 28, 2019

Dance name: Run Run Runaway
Description: 64 count 2 wall intermediate phrased line dance
Choreographers: Adeline Cheng, Winson EWS, Jennifer Choo & Philip Sobrielo
Music: Runaway by Sebastian Yatra & Daddy Yankee feat Jonas Brothers
Stepsheet: https://www.copperknob.co.uk/stepsheets/run-run-runaway-ID135810.aspx

Behind the dance…

Philip got us together on a Whatsapp group to create a dance for his Glitz and Glam event as we confirmed our attendance (roughly 2-3 weeks before his event) so we were throwing in some music suggestions. In the end, we chose the song Runaway by Sebastian Yatra & Daddy Yankee feat Jonas Brothers due to its catchiness. We provided some parts each and so a new dance was born, which we thought is FUN and FITTING to the lyrics. Hope you could feel our choreography too 🙂 Can anyone guess which part was choreographed by whom? 😀

About the song & phrasing…

The song is a mix of English and Spanish lyrics. It’s catchy and the song gets into your head. Part A is the verse while Part B is the chorus (runa-runa-runa-runa-runa-runaway). You will be able to know which part to dance from the song. Just in case you can’t, just remember these for the phrasing: AA-BB-AAAA-B-AAA-B-AA

  1. 2-4-3-2 as the number of A’s in sequence
  2. B’s always starts on 12:00 except the 2nd B which starts at 6:00.

For the ending, just run another 1/2R (4 counts) instead of the press slides to end on 12:00.

Videos of the dance

We taught the dance during Glitz and Glam 2019 but completely forgotten to video the dance teach/demo. So we did a little mock-up after the party. Here it is:

New Dance: DIAMOND LOVER

Jennifer Choo Sue Chin | June 17, 2019

Tracy Hoo had organised a yet another successful event on 16 June 2019, this time the theme was Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend. For this event, she has again suggested for us to collaborate in a choreography. We were trying to find an interesting song that matches the theme, and found this easy going song, not too fast, nice beats,and slightly funky. It was the theme song for a Chinese drama serial Diamond Lover and sung by the lead actor, Rain from Korea. Name of the music is also Diamond Lover. The music was perfect for us to work on!

The dance we choreographed is 32 counts 4 wall and rated beg/int to keep the easy going stress-free feel of the music. We also name the dance DIAMOND LOVER. The dance would end exactly on the front wall, so we were ecstatic!

Later on, we found that Rain had a Korean version of the music, titled Marilyn Monroe. It has the same music structure and can be used as the alternative music.

New Dance: Sexy Baliye (Sexy Lover) 32c4w Improver Line Dance

Jennifer Choo Sue Chin | October 23, 2017

Stepsheet: http://www.copperknob.co.uk/stepsheets/sexy-baliye-sexy-lover-ID121263.aspx

Another new dance this month! In the festive mood for Deepavali, I’ve been asked to share a dance at Seremban Prima’s Purple Bollywood event. And just a day before the event, I came across the current trending music in Bollywood, SEXY BALIYE from the OST of Aamir Khan’s SECRET SUPERSTAR. [I’ve always been a fan of Aamir Khan’s movies, if you remember another of my Bollywood dance Zoobi Doobi from 2011 – also from Aamir Khan’s movie Three Idiots]  Anyway, I wasn’t going to let a good song out of my slip, so quickly choreographed it just in time to teach at the event. I was still playing the song throughout my journey to Seremban to count where the tag and restarts are!

The dance is a 32-count 4-wall improver line dance with a Bollywood flavour. Steps are simple, but do add in some groove and bounce to radiate the Bollywood energy. There are 2 easy restarts and an easy tag which is a repeat of the last 8 counts of the dance.

Enjoy!
