San Diego pt. 2

sunday: URBAN LEGENDS - DAY 2
it was bananassss! here goes the recap:

Mike Song:
WHAT. THE. FUTCH. seriously, how sick can he get. i've always been a fan of his & big time [pre abdc] kaba fan. so to finally, after all this time i get to take from him... wow. i love to think i can do that kind of stuff... but in actuality, i suck! ha! but i try. his piece was so much fun to do tho, definitely something different.

ps: kaba came to surprise me at my debut about 3 years ago. & mike song came along my favs from kaba at that time... jia, cindy, clarizel, cio, mikey, rogel, allibons, ughh i can't remember the rest.. BUT! he totally remembers! & i thought that was cool. after all this time. =] & he knows be by full name. ha! crazeh. that made my day.

in the second group. -_- lol why oh why would erik put that clip up. please excuse the mess! ha!


LUAM:
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH HER! honestly, she is stuuupid [& that's meant in a good way]. omg i love her teaching style. & her 'take it as direction not choreography' philosophy. i mean she really just gave the liberty to feel & dance with her class. i loved that east coast vibe she gave. & it definitely feels soo good to finally be able to just DANCE like that. it really felt like that's how the song would look like if it were concrete. & her teaching 1 & a half pieces. soooo sick. =] i'll let the video speak for itself. but honestly, i need more of that & her!

i'm in the very last group! white shirt & grey sweats. =]


Lyle Beniga:
so he really is as reeediiiccccsss as he is in his videos. i really could not get that dance for my life! sooo fast, intriquet movements, etc! geeeezus. lord help me. but man suuuch good training he has been one of my faves so it was amazing to take from him. hopefully next time, i'll be more well equipt & prepared to learn. ughhh! he makes me want to improve, improve, improve!

oh & lyle & his girlfriend's dog charlie is soooo cute!!!!!!

ps! these japanese guys ARE AMAZING! i wanna be japanese! lol



after the workshop :
stayed & watched luam teach hifi & form. couldn't learn it because we had to talk to erik about things. but yeah. =] i really appriciate this company for all that it is. the opportunity, the training, & most importantly the people. so many talented, well rounded, amazing dancers on this company, its so inspiring. & i thank god each and everyday for giving me such a family to be a part of. i am alway reminded on how blessed i am to have such an amazing gift everytime i am around these people. =]

so to end this blog...
i'll end on this note.... oh dmagic. lol! one of my favorite memories from the trip. =]
