New Dance: What Makes You Beautiful

Jennifer Choo Sue Chin | August 13, 2012

I heard the song “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction early this year and got attracted to the catchy beats and tune. The song was often played on the radio, in the malls, and I heard the song everywhere until I told myself, I just got to do this one. I especially love the part where they sang, “The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed”. So there I go, fitting the ‘hair flip’ motion into the dance every time that part was sung!

The phrasing is a little tough though as there are 3 restarts and 1 tag in the dance, in order to fit the ‘hair flip’ part. But the good news is that all the restarts and tags happened at 3:00 wall, so that should be easy. The 32-count steps are fairly simple but the dance is rated intermediate due to the numerous restarts.

I taught the dance at Daniel & Cindy Leong’s Autumn Line Dance Extravaganza on 12 Aug 2012 and received a tremendous response for it. Thanks to Daniel & Cindy for inviting me to give a little workshop, the dancers at his events are always amazing, they picked up the whole dance (including the restarts & tag) in less than 10 mins!

Watch the video of the demo and teach. I hope you’ll enjoy the dance and flipping your hair! 😛

p.s. I don’t normally choreograph to dances that my friends have choreographed to, but Yu Puay (Kuching) and I choreographed to this song at about the same time unknowingly of the other. Though she had released it earlier, I had to wait till now to release this weekend. We laughed about it as I almost clashed with her in another choreography too. Do check out her dance too. Split floors are always welcomed! 🙂

Ivy and I finally got together to make a demo video of our dance! We put in some simple styling so if you would like to add more flavour to the dance, you can use ours as an example. Enjoy!

New Dance: Qing Fei De Yi

Jennifer Choo Sue Chin | June 11, 2012

I’m releasing Qing Fei De Yi first as I taught it in the MTLDA Line Dance Carnival early June.

This is the Teach & Demo video taken at Melaka on 3 June 2012. The dance was very well received and people enjoy the relaxing pace and simplicity of the dance. Not forgetting the relaxing music by Harlem Yu, popularised in the Taiwanese Drama Serials “Meteor Garden” starring F4 in 2001.

Have fun and chill out in the dance!

Tips & Techniques: Cuban Hips

Jennifer | June 22, 2008

Have you ever wished you could do the hip twists like the Latin dancers do? You can do it too, just need to know where and when to twist  your hips and some practise!

Here’s a breakdown for Cuban Hips for Right Chasse. You can apply the same techniques for Left Chasse and Forward/Back Lock steps.

Note: Remember to keep your body upright and face the front all the time. Only the hips will do the twisting!

  1. Twisting your hips to the left diagonal and keeping your left knee straight, bend your right knee slightly and bring your right ball to the right side. Generally, the weight is still on the left foot and slightly pressing to the right foot. (pic 1)
  2. On count &, quickly shift your weight to the right foot and at the same time twist your hips to the right diagonal. Also bring your left foot towards and next to the right foot and press on the left  ball slightly. When this happens, your right knee is straightened and left knee is bended. (pic 2)
  3. On the next count, quickly shift your weight to the left foot and at the same time twist your hips to the left diagonal. Also bring your right foot to the right side, pressing slightly on the ball. When this happens, your right knee is bended while your left knee is straight. (pic 3)
  4. At the end of the count, quickly shift your weight to the right foot by twisting your hips to the right diagonal again. This time your right knee is straightened. Weight is now entirely on the right foot.

Practise is the essence to success!
