Philip Sobrielo as MJ in action, in Kuching

All the guests were treated to a wonderful MJ performance. Philip really looks like MJ! The supporting Karar Line Dancers did a good job, especially in Thriller

A very enjoyable workshop with Philip Sobrielo in Kuching

One must congratulate Karar Line Dance Group for their time and effort to organise a very successful function which ended with a Dinner & Dance. All the guests were treated to a variety of beautiful dance performances by Philip http://www.souldancerssg.blogspot.com/ and the Karar Line Dancers.Also see http://sphilipg.webs.com/philipsdances.htm
Our KK line dancers were warmly received by them and they even managed to provide us with a friend, Danny to look after our all transport needs.

Every Line Dancer can relate to Philip, who excels in Hip Hop & Michael Jackson's dance style. He is a good dancer & choreographer in many dance genre and managed to share with us the different dance styles in line dance. After the workshop participants can now try their styles in Country, Latin, Hip Hop and Pop depending on the dance & music. His highly commended instructing skills are such that he makes every dance look so simple and easy to follow.
He taught his own choreographies in the workshop:-
1. Country - I Slipped & Fell
2. Latin - Blood On The Dance Floor
3. Waltz - Can I Have This Dance
4. Jazz - Crush
5. Hip Hop - Do Something.
Our Line Dancers who attended the workshop will share these dances with the rest in class.

Food for Thought - Shall we invite Philip for a Charity Workshop in KK ?

15 Dances from Jamming to be carried forward

In our tradition , we always "throw away" all the old dances and start afresh. However this time it will be different. We are now building our "heritage " of favourite dances that we can keep and remember for many years to come. Just like "blue chips" in the stock market . The winners from the recent jam are:-
1. Martini Moments
2. Dog-gone-blues
3. Something Good
4. Stuck On Elvis
5. Wasted Days
6. Ay Amor
7. Fujiyama Mama
8. Come as You Are
9. Mi Amore
Gradually we will build a long list of EVERGREEN dances like Amame, Come Dance With me, Islands in the Stream, Fanilow Eyes, Wild Ponies, DHHS, Magic Cha Cha and Smokey Places. All suggestions are welcomed. Just make sure it is not a difficult dance and the music must appeal to most people.
The objective of building this list of Evergreen Dances is for us to enjoy them by regular practise so that we will always have a list of dances in our "head" . This means we can party anytime ! While we always look forward to new dances every week, we know we will not want to keep all of them for too long as it will be borring...

We will also continue with these current favourites until we get tired of them:-
1. What U waiting For
2. Undercover
3. Nobody But You
4. Waka Waka, our original version...dance until the World Cup is over
5. So Sexxy
6. Latin Crazy

For for next few classes, starting Monday 28 June, we shall danced the above 15 dances before our new dance for the day. And, Always be My Baby.

Change in Class Venue

From now up to 17 July 2010:-
All Wed classes will be shifted to The Sacred Heart Hall.(30/6, 7/7, 14/7)
All Sat classes will be shifted to John's Dance Academy.(3,10,17/7)

A Healthy 2nd Jamming Party for 2010

Our 2nd Jamming party on 23 June 2010 was indeed successful with lots of fruits to savour and 26 dances to enjoy. A big Thank You to everyone for the healthy and delicious fruits - what a big variety ! Most of us were really exhausted after the jamming which proves that we need to dance continuously more often.

Thanks to Marianna and Michael for shooting the videos of our Jamming. Refer to youtube channels of KKLD2009 and Stepinlinedance

Oop's ! Has Yipee banned all users from using their website?

Well , you can now use http://copperknob.co.uk/ for your stepsheets and video clips from youtube.

I have extracted the explaination fron Jennifer Choo's website:-

"I heard that the real reason for Yipee being down is because the hosting company that hosts www.yipee.sg has banned them. And why did the hosting company ban Yipee? Simply because Yipee is growing too quickly and they register too many hits, way too many for the small hosting company to managed. And so, every other sites that the hosting company hosts, also went down, probably cos Yipee is taking a whole big lot of their limited bandwidth.
Meanwhile, let’s hope Yipee will resolve this asap and get up and run as usual again. I know how Yipee can be a lifeline to many line dancers out there!"
Thanks Jennifer
