Behind the dance…

I heard this beautiful “bom cha cha” Cantonese song on radio one day last year and found out it’s sung by Eason Chan, a popular Hong Kong singer. Being so busy with my work, I forgot about it then, but had casually mentioned it to Wendee Chen to check it out early this year. Like me, she loved it “at first sight” and quickly put some steps together and sent me. And it sat for the longest time in my inbox waiting to be unveiled. After the success of Diamond Lover (co with Tracy Hoo), I began to feel more energized and motivated to choreograph again. Wendee reminded me of the dance in my cold storage and encouraged me to complete it. Within several days and amidst our several trips out of town, we finalised the dance. Taught it to my classes and, thanks to the song, they all loved it too “at first sight”. Not often, my students would clap their hands instinctively after dancing a dance for the first time (not even my dances) but they did, and the feeling is absolutely satisfying.

About the song…

Several people told me (at different times) that all of Eason Chan’s songs are very nice. Wow, I think we should look into his songs for more future choreography! This particular song Chim Chim (cantonese) or Jian Jian (mandarin) means “gradually”, and the artist sang about the nostalgia of a gradual lost love. Lyrics of his song can be found on his music video MV.

Videos of the dance

I taught the dance at Sally Mak’s party in early July. Here are some videos taken on that day. Before the party ended, they requested for the dance once more.

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!
