28th May 2010, Fri.

I had a day of very mixed classes. Both groups were preparing for different competitions with very, very different attitudes and approaches.

Klang, 9am - the 5 girls seemed very keen to be together but didn't appear to understand the amount of work that would be required for a competition and seemed completely lost most of the time. I hope they realize how much effort has to be applied to make their routine passable in less then 2 months time. I'm looking forward to a more productive session next week.

YMCA, 2pm - the 12 boys gave me a very pleasant surprise when I walked in and found them able to dance their brand new routine to the music without too much trouble. Way to go boys !!! This is what determination, dedication and focus can achieve - WOW!! Non of the boys are dance trained, they are all just very keen to participate and do their best. We spent most of our time polishing up yesterdays routine and the first two routines of their medley. After a brief break, the boys were raring to go again and we managed to complete the entire 4th sequence - I am SO proud of all of them. They took every challenge thrown at them and only ever asked - 'HOW' but NEVER 'how can?". Happy sigh...................
