YOGAYUGA

Aren’t they beautiful? They are works of my dad!!

What a great day for working outdoor! May May loves to stay outdoor since Tiger died. It is funny that she likes staying in the area, where Tiger used to be around everyday.

I attended a dance performance at Discovery Bay tonight called Picnic in the Park. It was a local fair with live dance and singing performances. They invited our dance school to do a 15 mins demonstration on the stage. We did the group bus stop line disco dance, Cha Cha Cha and Jive. It was a good time to promote our dance school. Our teacher asked us to grab some opposite sex audiences (it means male audiences, because most of us are girls lol) to get to the stage and do some Rumba Salsa in the end of the performance, however, we found almost no teenager/adult male audiences. The only audiences were kids. The kids were dancing like crazy. They enjoyed the show rather than anyone else in the park. Our teacher told us to distribute some flyers after the show, but not many people we could give to as many were kids. This event was like a western style activity in the public park, which we don’t usually have it in Hong Kong. I guess it only happens in Discovery Bay as most of residents are westerners in this place.

It was my first time to do a public performance, needless to say I screwed up almost all the dance patterns when I was doing solo. hahaa!! It wasn’t easy when you had thousands of people watching you. It was fun though, nothing serious and formal. My parents were watching me. They did have a good laugh of what I did. It was a mess anyway because the stage was too small for ten of us.

The major performers were assistants of our teacher. They won the international competition a month ago. They were doing great, of course!! Oh well, good dance technique requires lots of efforts and time as well as personal passion. You couldn’t do it good if you miss one of those elements. Talent is also one of the critical skills that lead you to be a good dance learner. My talent is limited but I enjoy it for fun and leisure. ^_^

We had barbecue buffet dinner by the pool in Marina Club after the show. The food was great. I ate a lot. I was starving after all the exercises. Everyone asked me how come I could eat so much. I am so thin in their eyes so they can’t imagine how come I could have so much food without weight gained. Oh well, I only know that I am natural born thin and all healthy. We danced non stop after the dinner in the open space. Some did Jive. Some did Rumba Salsa, Waltz and Cha Cha Cha. We did group dance too. We became the performers again of the night in the club. It was so enjoyable and fun. I love it!

I did more practice these two weeks due to the show, so I did have certain improvement, but still long way to go until the exam. BTW, the exam wil be held in May next year now. For some reasons, it had been delayed, but is good as I don’t think I am ready for it.

The buffet dinner by the pool….

Our group dance after dinner…

Our dance teacher was dancing in the dinning place. His assistants were performing in the show.

I had been to Shenzhen with friends today. We had nice lunch, but very unfortunate we had someone sat behind our table with his leg placing on top of his chair. Gosh! What a manner in a restaurant!

I found such a big bottle of coke in Walmart (2 Liter), which only costs HKD4.90, about USD0.60. Anyway, I wouldn’t buy anything eat or drink in Mainland these days due to all the food problems. I don’t want to die yet.

It’s boring! It’s boring! Come on baby! Where is your sex of heels??

Ahahhahaa……everyone was laughing!!

It’s nothing about sex here. It was just the comment of our Aussie dance teacher gave us in the class tonight. We were doing Bolero Rumba. Everyone was serious lacking of relaxation. It’s hard. Latin dance requires passion, motion and all the sexy body and hip movements. You may look sexy if you moves it well with appropriate actions. Otherwise, you would look ugly. I mean it. lol

I am the worst in Samba and Jive. Jive is the worst for me actually. The whole dance of Samba is rather short on the bronze level, so I still can handle it. I am better doing slow dance such as Bolero Rumba. Cha Cha Cha is fine as it’s easy to remember.

Our teacher said no one failed in the history. If he knew that anyone could have a chance to fail in the exam then he wouldn’t let her to do it. I hope he is not going to kick me out at last, in case one day he says “Joyce is going to fail!”

My sister is back from her work trip. She brought me souvenirs from Dutch and Swedish lands. She bought me a pair of jean from her company’s sample sales in Stockholm. My God! She told me it only costs HKD10.00, and the quality is very good. It’s much better than those selling in the store of H & M, Hong Kong. She also got me postcards from Van Gogh museum as well as wood made tulip decoration in Amsterdam. And a very nice metal made plate made in Sweden with Dalarna on it. She got Dad so many dark chocolates as well as some stuff from Paris. Ho! Ho! Ho! What a day for receiving gifts!

What do you feel from dance? (regardless you are a dancer, a learner or an audience)

Feel loved, joyful, passionate, romantic, affectionate, sensational, sexy and hot……….

Oh dear! What an enjoyable night to see such great performance of Latin and Ballroom dance - The Galaxy of Fame 2008.

The dancers are great. They are professional dancers from Poland, Belgium, Italy, U.S.A., Lithuania, Ukraine, England and Russia. There are six couples. One pair of the couples, who have been dancing together for 20 years. How amazing! They must be great friends and lovers. Dances included Vienna Waltz, Waltz, Jive, Rumba, Samba, Cha Cha Cha, Foxtrot, Quick Step, Paso Doble and Tango. All the dresses are incredibly beautiful. The Latin dresses are so sexy and hot!!

Joyful Jive - The female dance, Joanna Leunis, was so amazing doing spin turn without stopping from the middle of dance floor to the edges of it. Her dress is so beautiful and sexy. I love it.

Romantic Foxtrot

Elegant Waltz

Wonderful Quick Step and Passionate Paso Doble

I would love to share some songs here. These are all my love. They are great for Latin and Ballroom dance. I mean to share MUSIC ONLY not the IMAGES as the images were horrible. My camera is too bad.
