thats really cool pavlova, all the best =)

the haha part was meant for dancingangelz' comment. i said jacek and ms tucker are cool.. seen them dance before.

I think it's so cool that a former principal dancer has been teaching here for so long. R

Ya it is cool that she's teaching here but...bad news...she's living in june for america...to teach in mississippi.

Yeah I heard that she left La-Salle. I think the Singapore audience has under-appreciated her. She's leaving for good?

Ahh, I'm going for an audition class this friday at Laselle, kinda scary thought.. would I be meeting anyone of you there? Ballet and contemp class, within 9am to 12pm...

Anyway can anyone give me directions for the fastest way to get there? I live in tampines.

Thanks all!

hi.. so how did the audtion go? i went for mine in march..

hope you found your way there!

I'm going this friday.. haha

you went for the audition before? Was it scary? are they like really good?

Oh! Brandon! You're auditioning? How come so late? Haha. All the best eh. You'll do fine. just relax, and try not to let your nerves get the better of you.

well, during my audition.. we took ballet and contemp class with the lasalle foundation students. so it can be quite a pressure, but just focus and you'll be ok.

there was this guy who danced with the beijing institute auditioning and some other foreign students.. they were good..

however, i dont really know what you audition will be like.. so all the best to you! just remember dont be scared and loosen up during contemp.

and to go to lasalle..

you can take mrt to kallang and change bus.. (ask the station control master for further directions..)

or take mrt to city hall or orchard.. and take bus 14 or is it 16? (check the direction boards..)

haha. im sorry im not so clear with directions..

hey you could take a train to aljunied, and take 158 from the same side of road as the station. You'll alight right outside the building. It's about one or two stops after the School for the Deaf. All the best!! =)

Heyhey, I live just 5 min walk away from that place! Anyways, u can take bus no 14 from Tanah Merah (or Bedok,can't remb! pls check)bus interchange all the way there. Alight when u reach Mountbatten swimming complex at the junction of Mountbatten road and Fort road. Alternatively u can count 5 stops from Katong shopping centre. Then walk in the direction of the swimming pool. Or u can take 15 (it goes to Tampines) to Marine Parade and change to 196. Alight at the same stop as the 14 bus stop. If coming from Orchard take 14 though the direction will be opposite from if u're coming from Tanah Merah. Or u can take mrt n drop off at Kallang. Then take 12. Basically 12,14,196 and 608 all go to Laselle. Let me know if u've anymore queries. Hope this helps!

ahhh i'm lazy! =X they all seem complicated... transfer transfer and transfer... hmm, I'll take a cab for my first trip and figure out when I've finally gotten in. =X

Hi guys i'm kinda new to dancing would be glad if i could have some advice from u guys.
i'm thinking of joining SDT but not sure if i should join jazz ballet or modern dance! i'd like something that's a little intensive that can push me to really dance. BTW is jazz ballet like lyrical jazz or something??

Thanks alot!

Look no further, Join modern dance!

I'm in it myself and I think its a really great class to really dance, since that's what you want. Its somewhat a half-half of ballet and contemp, and its still in the pretty beginner stages of the class, you shouldn't have any problem catching up, and neither would you find it boring, because its still quite fun nonetheless... and the instructor (Dan Kwoh if you know who) is a really nice guy.

If you want more info you can add me on msn ( o_brandon_o@hotmail.com ) or pm me... =)

haha =X Just trying to 'sell' my class a little..., do hope people join though.

Yups. A cab would solve all your woes! but most cab drivers don't know where La Salle is! So yups. Do be careful. And don't ever take bus 16 if you have to. Take 14. I got lost taking 16 and had to take a cab, where the driver thought i referred La Salle as Laksa and didn't know how to get there.

hmm. PebblePlay, you should take up ballet too! ballet is like the foundation to all types of dances. X) i think modern dance is cool too!

bubblebran me n my fren are joining the trial class for modern dance next week but now i'm not sure if she can make it still =x. Do tell me more about it i'm really excited!

oooh n dancingeorge thanks for ya advice im thinking of doin ballet at some CC too.. any recommendations?

next week? meaning this friday or next friday? haha... why not come this friday? We're having a 2 hour class this friday, its gonna be lotsa fun... and the instructor promised to "kill" me... so... I'm gonna have a tough workout there =X

pebbleplay, where do you stay? if you stay in the west, i can reccommend my cc, bt batok east cc. or bt panjang cc, as well as bt batok cc. they have a wide range of grades.

aww i stay in e east so bukit batok is SUPER far for me haha thanks anyway!

oh my 2 hr class thats super cool! u mean he can just extend it if he wants? usually its only 1 hr right.. i always find that u can't really do much in an hour.

haha, its usually only 1 hour, but he extends them almost every lesson.. like 15 minutes more at least.

Its 2 hours this time because he was otherwise held up so the last lesson was cancelled, so its like a replacement class...

I'll be looking forward to see you next friday though its a pretty small class and I'm the only guy there so you'll definitely know who I am =P

If you want to do ballet, you can do it at Le Grand school of dance, which is situated at Tampines st23. You can PM me for more info.

Hey all, I got in! =)

Though I messed up quite abit during the auditions though, my weight was all over the place... too nervous I guess... totally freaked out on one of the enchainments... 2 pose pirouettes , 2 chaines, repeat all the way.. I kinda went off the path and I was dizzy after all that ... =( oh well, guess I managed to bluff my way thru, grand allegro was nice and fun =) Ms Tucker sets some pretty good enchainments, but alot of advance steps that I've only seen once or twice.. had to do many of them impromptu =(

Finally,
Thanks to those who've been giving me constant support!
