Summary: AGM 28/04/2011

Roses are red,

Violets are blue;
TDC had a meeting,
We formed new crews.

Seniors showed some styles,
Comtemp and popping;
They did lifts and dopeness,
Pfft, they were not joking.

Did I mention the new president?
His name is Shane
Along with sidekick Daren
Warning! they are not sane.

This is as far as my rhyming goes
TDC is family and it shows
And yes this last bit never rhymes
But TDC thanks you for your time.

That was un-needed but since now that I have your undivided attention... :)

Based on the abstract above, Taylor's Dance Club members gathered in Lecture Theatre One on the 28th of April 2011 for the March Intake's Annual General Meeting.

THE MULTITUDES.

It started off with Mark's introduction to the club, naming all the seniors and the committee members. It was then trailed off to the types of styles we perform in TDC. As shocking as news that Obama wasn't invited to Prince William's Wedding, TDC has seven styles.

Later on, the new members were exposed to the one and only TDC's blog, facebook group and class schedule. After TDC's proud moment was over, Mark stood tall and announced his new successor. A pre-meeting was conducted before the AGM was held, it was between the old and current committee regarding who should take on the role as the face of TDC. The votes were in and everyone waited patiently for the results.

SUSPENSE.

Mark attempted to give a build-up-inspiring-speech before the declaration of the new president as Machi held the probational vice president's hands for 'support'. And the moment of truth came, the title of "President" was given to Shane Lee and our new appointed Vice President is Daren Boey.

Lastly, "Shrug" and "Triple Dot Crew" were demolished. Gone. Deleted. *Moment of silence for the crews that allowed to us to meet new friends and gained experience from our respective crew members* INSTEAD, new crews were formed in accordance to the presence of our new members. Give round of applause to the new crews that will roam taylor's college, namely 'Swag' and "Dopamine" (spelling is yet to be confirmed).

Adjourned.

Taylor's Business Alumni Night

On the 8th of April, the dancers from Taylor's Dance Club Subang Jaya blew the audience away...

For those who fancy details, I proudly announce that the dancers were engage in a performance held in Taylor's Lakeside University. Mundane questions of conflict rose the day before the performance itself such as who? what? when? and where are we performing? All in time, everything fell into place. On the performance day itself, the "car-less" gang gathered at the ECA building at 3.30pm or 5.30pm to take a bus to Lakside. In short, no one was left behind.

The dancers who took the 2nd bus.

Shrug Crew performed first, a performance which overwhelmed the crowd's mind, to the extent of them forgetting their own names, and left Shrugging in awe.

The poppers under the tutelage of Alex.

There is many views to this story, but it was best remembered as the performance that caused the heavens to tear. If you didn't get the sarcasm, it rained. As the drama world puts it, The show must go on! Hence, everyone strutted their stuff to the max and in the end the minor mistakes weren't even registered.

After what seems like a obscene amount of time that passed, 3DC stood before the crowd where Shrug has stained it with their victory sweat and continued the second half of 'awesome'. There was some technical difficulties. But due to my extent on electrical knowledge there wont be any elaboration on this :) Bottom line? It went well.

In conclusion, there isn't any better way to put what has happened that night, then to say -->

On the 8th of April, the dancers from Taylor's Dance Club Subang Jaya blew the audience away...

Flash Mob At The Pavilion, KL

CHEVROLET FLASH MOB!

TDC goes flashing! Approximately 200 dancers, which TDC dominated at least 70% of the people, took part in this Chevrolet promoting event. The location set at Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur after the F1 display by DavidCoulthard, on Sunday, 3^rd April. Two practices were organized for the event at The Royal Phantom Studio, The Strand, Kota Damansara. Practices were conducted by Fellest.

Friday, 1st April, 8pm - 12am

Saturday, 2nd April, 4pm - 8pm

There, dancers were given a full briefing on how the whole flash mob was going to be conducted. Dancers were split in to 3 groups, A, B, and C. Group A would start outside and proceed inside to meet Group B and join in their dance. After the joint performance of A and B, dancers would point directly at the floors above where group C had made their way and began dancing. The 3 groups would then

dance and finally join together for one final, “CHEVROLET!”

Shhh!! We're trying to act "normal".

The TDC flashers met up for a bite at KL Central before heading out to the Pavilion by monorail. The event briefing took place at 2pm – 3pm and the flash mob began at 5pm. Each member received a yellow cap and a white collar T with the Chevrolet logo. Dancers were also told to bring a jacket along to conceal their uniformity of their shirts and caps. Right before the performance began, everyone stood by and dispersed around and all acted along well as how a real flash mob would be. The display was a success and it brought joy to the dancers as well as the audience.

For those who missed it...

HERE IT IS!

Congratulations TDC on another successful event!

Update: Ian's One-Week Classes

Chan Jun Ian, one of our eldest seniors of Taylor’s Dance Club was scheduled to leave for Ohio on the 20^thof March. Ian was one of the many people who was involved in the expansion of TDC. He’s a very prominent figure in the history of TDC, as he was the one who “made things happen”.

Before he left, he thought it would be appropriate to pass as much of his knowledge as possible to the new generation of juniors. He had a total of 4 classes, each class lasting up to 3 hours long, his first class commenced on the 14th of March. Amongst the many useful things that he taught, was the waltz, basics in choreographing, as well as a guide to free styling.

On Monday; the first class, he gave us tips on choreography, mainly tips on creating and editing formations, so that the audience could see the shapes that were intended, rather than just a jumbled mess of limbs and colours.

After the choreography session, he gave us a basic lesson on waltz, which both Juniors and Seniors had fun, seeing that not many of them have ever partnered with someone to dance before.

On the second and third class, Tuesday and Wednesday, Ian’s lesson for us was free styling. The main things he taught was to diversify our moves, adding shapes, height changes as well as crowd interaction. Basically training us to be head turners when we dance.

On Thursday, he was cleaning up our freestyle, giving us moves to add into our usual repertoire to add a spark of life. After a short free style session, we were thrown into a Dance Battle, which was severely imbalanced; with nearly 3 quarters of the participants against the rest. It was extremely fun nonetheless.

After going all out during the dance battle, the waltz was a marvelous idea to cool the body down. Ian brought his friend, Melody to teach us the advanced bit of Waltz. We then paired up again, and danced while Melissa gave us instructions on body posture, hand positions and such.

Thank you Ian for everything. We will miss you as you venture into Ohio and make your mark there!
