Aluna... It felt really good to have this help from Carmen and Sean and Battery Dance Company of the USA to open our eyes to contemporary dance styles. We have hardly seen anything. We see Western dancing in movies, but I think that much of what I see is made possible by the camera angles. This was different. Carmen's moves were quite unusual for us, and the stretching was really helpful. Some of us do Yoga, so we were ready for Carmen! Sean was really fine. He made us feel comfortable and not shy to try new things. I'm sure we'd get that special kick he taught if we tried it a few more times!
Anouza... This was totally different from what I was thinking. When we say "American dance", we think of popping. When we started this morning with Carmen, I was feeling the beat in my hands, it was giving life to my dancing. I was very happy! What we usually see and copy is on MTV and the internet. Sean showed us how to mix up styles and bring something new to our dance. We'll use this new style when we dance in the Asian competition next time!
