Dance workshop

Thanks all for today. Think many of us denied ourselves and 'throw face' at the reception doing the publicity. Do give me feedback if you have heard any. I can assure you that your efforts are not in vain, because I have received several sign ups already. Of course quite a number came from my own cg and the east district, so do remind your district-mates to sign up soon before all the places are filled.

Once again, the details are as follows:
Date: 20 June (Wed)
Venue: America Room
Time: 12-1.30pm OR 2-3.30pm

Get them to register by sending their Full name, Caregroup, Contact number, Email and Preferred Timing to my number.

And thank you also for the training session today. Every one really deserves to be applauded for their choreography. For some of us may be the 1st time doing something like that, but I think it is good that we don't just keep copying others' steps but try to input some of our own ideas too. God created us all to be Creative! :D

Oh and for dancers, you guys should really mark out 20 june. It is not just the workshop day, I am planning to have our retreat after that too! Something happy to look forward to as we all work hard to make this a success.

jiali :D

Last week of school

Hoorays to the high school and jc students, for you're finally into the last week of school! For the poly peeps, tahan a bit more and we will all celebrate together in camp! :D

All of you should have received my sms to prepare 4 eight of choreography to the song 'get up' by ciara. We will present what we have prepared on sat training. Those who still have not got hold of the song can find me on msn. I will try to 'appear offline' less these few days. haha.

And for those who remember the service announcement on MINISTRY MADNESS, we will be taking pics on sat. Dress up cos we will be doing our publicity for the workshop too! Erm I'm not supposed to be in charge of sending the entry in, so maybe someone passionate enough for this ministry can take the lead. *hint hint* :D

Please pray for yenli, kangli, xinru, denise, mingyi and myself as we prepare ourselves to dance on sun at faith methodist church. Pray for us that we can be a blessing over there, as well as good health for our dancers.

See you 10am at america rm on sat. I will provide free morning call to EVERYONE at 8am unless u opt out. :D

agape, jiali

Trademarks of a youth dancer

This was during training on 5th may. Instead of the usual warm ups and short routine, we sat on chairs and someone commented that it was like caregroup. Sure, we are a group that cares. We care more than just how long you can stay in a split (or if you can do one in the first place) or how many crunches you can do in a minute (though the more the merrier); in this team we care about your attitudes and other aspects of life too. After a time of testimony, I asked those present to pair up and answer the following question with a tableau (something like a freeze in a scene).

The question was: what do you think are/ should be the trademark of a youth dancer in Hope?

Humility (Matt 23:12)

Teamwork (Eccl 4:9-12)

Mutual support (similar to team work. I actually thought of 'encouragement' when I saw this picture.)

Stretching beyond limits (moving out of comfort zone)

Spiritual ('I will read my bible and pray': All Day by Hillsong United)

Visionary (Joel 2:28-29)

Touch from God (THIS also shows another trademark: creativity!)

Loving (Love God, love people - everything boils down to Matt 28:18-20)


Last but not least, Cool! (Afterall, we are reaching out to the youths! 1 Cor 9:20-23)

Just want to summarise it by quoting from Rick Warren, if we have the right attitude but no skills, that's sincere ineffectiveness; but if we have skills and not the right attitude, that's menace! Let's continue to grow in our skills and attitude.
