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.



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.



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.

Firstly, thank you all of you for joining TDC and attending our AGM. Here are some quick updates to serve as a reminder for all those present, or all those who weren’t able to make it today!

General Studio Days
The studio is open from 9-6pm from Mondays to Fridays, with the exception of 4-6pm on Thursday - Yoga classes take place then. Peak studio hours are from 2-6pm, where most of the seniors will be in. If you don’t see us in the studio, then its your luck - you get the whole studio to yourself. The studio is open to everyone, so don’t hesitate to step in!

Classes
We showed you sample videos of each of the dance styles we currently have in TDC. The permanent class schedule and details will be up very soon *based on your votes!*, and we do hope to see you guys there. We do currently have trial classes that are going on for the next two weeks. Check this out under the Classes section.

Labels: AGM, classes, crews, meetings

I'm thinking. That we really should have taken some pictures at the AGM. But basically went down was this.

Previous Activities
A brief rundown of TDC-organized events (Dance Arena 2009, Dance Fest) and performances (KL Tower, Sunway Lagoon, Sg Wang Plaza etc).

Dance Styles Demonstration and Voting
We showed you all videos of Breaking, Popping, Hip Hop, Latin, Jazz, Contemporary and Ballroom. You voted for Hip Hop and Contemporary as the two styles you want to see brought to campus. So now we're going to try and contact a few instructors and see if we can work something out. Stay tuned!



Short Classes
Throughout the month of February, we're going to have a series of member-taught short classes that are absolutely free. Everyone is welcome to come for these sessions and what we're hoping to achieve is give you all the chance to discover new interests and learn a little foundations with no cost and no pressure.


Remember, the classes will run from the 8th to the 26th of February and are completely free to everyone.

Future Events
Our plans for the year.

Crew Training Program
For those of you who couldn't make it, the program works like this. We're going to split you all up into crews, and each crew will be assigned a dance club senior as your advisor. The program will run until April or May, and in that time you will train and perform together with your crew mates.

Now we said we'd tell you on the blog when and where the first session's going to be:
Tuesday (9/2), 3:15 - 4:45 at the Taylor's ECA Center Dance Studio
(if you don't know where this is, it's on the 2nd floor opposite main campus; above the international office).

What can you expect? Well, we're going to sort you into groups, assign you a senior, and maybe start on some training. Once again, this session is open to anyone who's interested.

So that's all for now guys. If you have any questions, or if you're interested in being a part of the TDC 2010-2011 committee but didn't approach us on Friday, you can call us, email us or leave a comment in the chatbox.

See you all on Tuesday!
