Hello!!

So, on Monday me and some kids from my class (excluding Joy) practiced out full hip-hop dance routine!

some things I think need work:

-Rude boy: I think its the fast speed. I think we all need to work on foot work and there is another part where we do a little chest pop, a lot of us can’t do this (reasons unknown)

-7 rings: I think we could do better at the start and I know that in the middle I get the whole of it wrong. Other than that I think I’m pretty much settled with this dance.

Some things we can do really well:

-Fineness: we have practiced this the most so it’s understandable for us to be a lot more comfortable with the dance as a whole.

I’m really proud of not just me but every one else in the class. We all have come so far in this class, really when I look back on myself last year I think of some one who was not at all confident with themself and I’m really proud of myself for it

Thank you for reading,

On Monday 29th the dance class was practicing the choreography for W.H.A.T Show unfortunately I wasn’t their that day I had some family business but I have watched the dance of my fellow classmate and they are really doing a amazing job but I can tell they are struggling on rude boy the body movements is very fast and energetic is what we need to focus on to practice and do a our full best to get better.As we keeping dancing through out the peace of choreography thank you for reading and enjoy!

Hello and welcome to my blog we are learning Finesse by Bruno bars and the dance tutorial is by Matt Steffanina. We have started learning this dance a few months ago  we are preparing for the W.H.A.T Show that’s happening this term we learning and trying our full best to achieve and get better at this place thank you and enjoy!

We are learning a hip Hop dance. We are going to perform this Hip Hop dance on the stage at at W.H.A.T Show. My favourite part of the dance is 7  rings. l think l need to practice finesse more.

We have recently put all of our hip hop pieces together to perform for the W.H.A.T Show. In this we have combined all of the hip hop dances that we have learnt this term which includes Finesse, Rude boy and 7 Rings. All the tutorials are on YouTube.

Personally, I really love this combination of dances and I prefer these dances to the ones I did last year. I’m also a lot better at the dances this year, because I took dance last year and this has helped me to learn dances better and faster. The one thing I don’t like about the dance is the fact that Mrs Davies won’t let me do a backbend at the end. Apart from that, I love this dance so much and can’t wait to perform it at the end of next term.

HELLO!!,

Today we finished our W.H.A.T show dance! This was so fun! I love all of the dances, but my favorite dance was…Rude Boy! I’m so proud that I learnt this! I think that when I first learnt this dance I was very scared, but I’m so happy I continued to learn this dance! I was so happy when I finally got it right! I wish I went a little bit slower and I need to get my foot work up but other than that I think I did really well! All though I’m not the best at dancing I think that practice makes perfect!

Thank you for reading

What did you learn?

A South Africa dance using different things like clicking,clapping,etc….

What was the purpose of this learning?

To learn the dance genre of gumboot dancing as we will be performing our dance for What Show as it is part of our Level performance assessment.

What was the process of creating this dance?

We looked through videos and also made our own little 8 beat dance using different things like slapping,clicking,stamping,clapping.

What went well?

Everyone participated and had a good time.

What would be even better if?

If we had more time to practice.

What are your next steps?

To combine all of the different dances each group made and put them into one dance.

what did you learn?

we were working on creating a dance based on playground games.This dance was inspired by the footnote dance performance IYKYK an the black Grace performance “method”that were created around the idea of games,video games and playground games.

what was the purpose of the learning?

the purpose of the learning was to create a contemporary dance and go through the choreography process in a setting

what was the process of creating this dance?

First we brainstormed a list of idea’s of different playground games that we have played in our childhood.for example leap frog,duck duck goose etc.

then we in small groups and pairs we created dance sequence that was sixteen counts long. We then order each group’s sequence into a larger dance sequence and this formed our beginning section which we called our our “A” section.

we then looked at our “B” section which we were tasked with taking two traveling movements or figuring out how to travel our two movements. We had to create an eight count traveling sequence that would move across the diagonal of the room; from one corner to other.

finally we performed the “A” section again but changed the direction to have it all facing the front and we repeated the “A” section but took out the hopscotch section at the end and instead exited the stage area.

what went well?

I was learning dances about games and we did a dance video will be included at the end.

these dances where apart of a show about 3 mouths ago IT WAS AWESOME!

I learnt that game mean mostly everything and the purpose of this learning was about the WHAT show the thing that went well was the endings

it would be even better if the games where games that everyone know liked chess or checkers

my next step is to get better at Rude Boy

now here’s our progress right here CHECK IT OUT!!!!!

This term we learned a hip hop dance to the Finesse song by Bruno Mars and Cardi B.

We are learning this dance because we love it and we are intending to perform this dance in What Show.

What went well?  I liked it when we started to learn it slowly and then got faster.

What would be even better if?  Keep on practising the dance to get better and faster.

Next steps are to practice the dance everyday so we can get better.

This term we also learned another hip hop dance piece to the super bowl version of Rude boy by Rihanna.

I have not learned this dance yet as I was away.

My next steps is to learn the dance from the YouTube tutorial in my google classroom.

Hello today we are learning rude boy by Rihanna super bowl remix the dance tutorial is by Matt Steffanina. A few week’s ago we have started from learning the movements of the choreography to try and get better at and memories the dance better.we are prepare the for the W.H.A.T Show for primary and intermediate kids the tutorial we used is based off from YouTube On Matt steffanina YouTube channel.

I”m getting at it each day as practice at my own time or even with my classmates.but I need to work more on my footwork I hope I can manage to to fully learn whole dance of by heart.

A couple of weeks ago we started learning a hip-hop dance to the song Finesse by Bruno Mars and Cardi B. The choreography was made by Matt Steffanina and we got his tutorial of Youtube. We decided to learn this dance so we could learn the genre of hip-hop and to hopefully perform it in the W.H.A.T Show near the end of term 2.

We ended up learning this dance quite quick and had it memorized, which was really good. Something that would be better is if people gave me more space while dancing because I keep on almost getting hit in the face. I hope to improve my movements and define them more.

Today we are learning the dance Rude Boy.

We are learning this dance because it is cool and we are learning hip ho

p.

I just started learning this dance today and i’m already kinda good.

Rude Boy was made by Matt Steffanina and he has a YouTube channel that you can learn off.

I think the ending Rude Boy was made by Matt Steffanina and he has a YouTube channel that you ca

n learn off.

I think the ending went well for me

ot so well.

watch me and more of waipehu students

I could make some wild improvement on the dance and make great progress on the ending

I would be better if the music was slowed abit but not to slow

my next steps are to try and dance to summertime by tursty meg

Hey,hey,hey Bloggers!!!!!

welcome!,

Above is the dance that we are learning. I love this dance so much!! This dance is very easy and it didn’t take that long for us to learn. This dance is one of the dances we are going to be doing at the W.H.A.T show (Waiopehu has awesome talent) I never thought that I would be dancing to Bruno Mars! It was so fun!!!!  One thing I found challenging is the speed because after learning it very slowly it came as I guess a shock? for the music to be so fast  but this was a very fun dance.

I really do hope that if you learn this dance that you find it as fun as I did ^^
