It was around 7.30Pm or so by now. All the launch is finish. However,
the next 30min will feature every team from BodyAttack, BodyCombat &
BodyJam to impress the crowd and asked for more votes/donation. Each
of the 9 teams were given 2 minutes to showcase what they've got (
sounds like SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, does it not ?!?!? )

BJ-LICIOUS
|
 |
|
Me running around collecting
last minute votes.. |
 |
|
Begging for more votes....
its weird that we were later
given instructions to collect money for donations too and not
just thru the coupons. It was absurd coz there wasnt any
control. We do not know if all the money went to the right
places. Some members were
saying that they've got no smaller notes and hence dropping a
RM50 in the box and taking out their balance.
Any audit done on this event would be a mess as
the coupon and money generated cant possibly tally up... it
was getting a bit out of hand at this point. I saw some tribe
members each forking out RM50 each for their own tribe...
oppss.. i meant charity!!!.... |

Guess everyone was so darn tired... and needed a rest after that whole
ordeal. THE END
The team received several cartons of
100plus, free nights accomodation to AWANA KIJAL resort in TERENGGANU
and RM100 NIKE vouchers for each person. I just felt they deserved
more. So again.. heres some
post mortem analysis of how the bodyjam tribe challenge was. Just an
honest and personal opinion from me. Also some tips for all those
future tribe hopefuls out there.
-
Know the scoring scheme. Every
percentage point counts. Teaching, patternwork, theme, skill.
Teaching - let the instructors teach the class and
dont get in onto the patternwork too
much. Keep it simple for him/her and let he/she focus on teaching,
previews and side profiles. Felt like some instructors got carried
away on performance and left the instructions behind. Ken was great at
bringing energy into the room. Sumthing
Azie should have done in the beginning.
Know your tracks, the choreo. Visualize what pattern
work looks best. Balance between risks and
impact of each patternwork. Make patternwork concise and
fastpace. The five steps did by XPLOSIVE should only happen once and
was a bit lengthy (10 counts).. which faded away the effect. An odd
number people in a group might seemed best to balance the stage.
Visualize on how it looks and what pattern work enhances your moves.
Think sideways, diagonal, back, front, horizontal, vertical line. How
come DANZ and XPLOSIVE did not do any Criss-Cross??... thought this
could hav been an awesome combo. I would have even tried a step to
move front and fly like an aeroplane as they turn backwards before the
'beyonce'.
Give combo names(it help the team remember them).
BJ-LICIOUS had 'INTRO', ' MARCH ' , 'CHECK IT OUT', 'FREE TYLE' &
'STOP'. Each one with a different objectives... 'spreading the
team' , 'variation of pattern work', 'crowd pleaser' , 'fun mood',
'technically experienced'. However the risk was high and tho there
were several mistakes done it was not obvious. Its all about managing
risk, time and impact. Speaking of time... shouldnt spent much time on
that 2min thingy... it wouldnt hav made much difference as the BODYJAM
was the last 6 min performance. It was more meant for BodyAttack and
BodyCombat. By the way.. since performance was rated highest
percentage.. its all about making it big and impactful. So..
take high riskssss!!! but mitigate it
well. BJ-Licious went all out with the ripping of clothes ..... it
would hav been better if they were more sexy underneath and showed
more skin... but alas... thats not possible.. he he.. :D. In anycase
of any wardrobe malfunction or forgetting to open the tie and lacked
the time, we've even practiced the scenario.
Theme - Know your color scheme.
Find out details of the backdrop and what makes u stand out most.
Its all about colors. Looking like a team.
The theme by DANZ was superb tho I think the robot execution was a
bit lacking. Simon and Ken rocked the house down. BJ-LICIOUS could
have been a bit more childish and woo-ed the crowd more. The
attitude and attire did not go hand in hand
completely. The XPLOSIVE tribe shouldnt hav wore visors as a
highlighting tool, its good to wear only if everyones head is
looking fwd. When anyone start looking at their feet and not turning
the same time.. it appears a bit messy.
The two girls should hav blown their hair big and dyed it
red.(kiddin..).. but thats wat performance is all about...
sumthing to be remembered .... to be loud!!!!
By far... I think the GLITTERS still tops out the theme and outfit a
few years back. That was truly an inspiring cultural performance by
them. The DANZ are 2nd in my list.
Skill - drill the technique and sharpness of the
tracks. Know which moves to enhance and
how to enhance them. Study the DVDs.
Energy and sharpness translates to how
much one has practice. Every move, every step, every arm turn has to
look the same. And if the arm turn is the tracks highlighted.. then
that moves needs to be synchronized
perfectly. Again.... its about practice,
practice.. practice... even the step touch on some teams were
off beat and different techniquely. I've even got DVD shots to prove
it. What I would have done with the beyonce arm swing is to let
everyone where white glooves or arm band.. and had it sychronized.
Imagine the impact it can have.
-
If it
involves votes, get other members in the whole act as well. Make them
feel apart as a group. Promote. Campaign. Choose a color or theme. I'm
hoping for fast recovery for the DANZ girl, heard she's been ill and
had to crawl out of bed to go for practice. My 'never-say-die'
participant award goes to u gal.
It was a tough call this year as we were not allowed
to pick the tracks for the performance and oldskool was definitely
the one we were all scared of. But thru determination and hardwork
it all paid off... our ingredients were correct. An excellent
instructor and enthusiast bodyjam instructor, a dancer and
experience patternwork bodyjam member that understands body
movements, 2 upcoming new instructors who are currently team
teaching/shadowing in Fitness First and True Fitness, 1 elegant hot
mama that grooves smoothly to any sound. I am but only a mere
tool that fuse them together... my gratitude to them for making me
part of their joy. :D
THE
END... :D |
