A Saturday morning with Sue~

Some may consider this as a very late updates, but as long as its updated, its fine enough for us. So its rather good for you to 'Like' our Facebook page to get quick and fast coverage on our activities and such.

I was so lucky to get the chance to meet Sue and joined her class on Saturday, 12 June 2010. Eventually I already in KL from Thursday night, whereby I went there right after I came back from Sentral Line Dance Jam (crazy, huh(?!!) hehee...) in Taiping Sentral. The main reasons were to attend some events besides sending my kids to my lil' sis' place for them to spend their school holidays.

We were chatting on Facebook the night before. Then Sue invited me to drop-by her class on that Saturday morning. I didn't make any promise yet as I was afraid that I couldn't made it. I thought of surprise her in the first place. But on the other hand, what if I got lost *glurp* So I text her early in the morning. She called back instead when I was in the shower hah! She gave me some directions to go there... Voila!

I reached there in no time at all, with the help of Sue's directions and also some info on Google Map, no GPS, nothing! ;)

The best thingy is that it was the day Sue taught her latest choreography 'Looky Looky' and 'At This Moment'. How lucky I was to get a first hand on the dances from the choreographer herself. So I made sure to learn all the steps from her properly... as concentrations and commitments are important! :)

Looky Looky is a very simple fun dance for Beginner. Its so easy that you will manage to get it in a split second... hiks! Yes, its true! I taught this dance to some of our students last week and they lurve it! Now go and put on the music 对面的女孩看过来 (Dui Mian De Nu Hai Kan Guo Lai) by 阿牛 (Ah Niu) ~

While 'At This Moment' is a slow waltz number to the music At This Moment by Michael Bublé! This is kinda feeling song. I said this cuz I would enjoy dancing it gracefully to the wonderful song, and imagine all the good things in life! Best of all, probably you could imagine that you are a Ballerina! Get more tips on How to Rise and Fall in Waltz? from Sue.

My trip didn't end there. In fact we spend more time together at a restaurant nearby after the class. We had a really good conversations on life, line dancing and many more... Thank you so much Sue for that wonderful morning! Now I know of where/what to expect on a Saturday morning if ever I will be in Klang Valley again; of course with conditions that I do not have anything to do. See ya!

Note:
Luckily I remember Sue's advise to bring my dancing shoes wherever I go! So to all the Line Dancers out there, you too: DO NOT leave your dancing shoes at home, even though you are not going out for any line dance related events. As who knows, that you might bumped in to this same kind of incident too *big grin*

Sentral Line Dance Jam

Today, last week, a group of us Silver Liners joined the Sentral Line Dance Jam at Taiping Setral; organized by Taiping Sentral and Kenny Teh. It was truly an experienced indeed for most of them as its their first at an out-station line dance event. Well maybe one or two of them who have followed Intan and I to some out-station jams before. We hope that you meet our students some day on the dance floor. But, please do not use these events as a money-making, profit in your pocket, business.

Basically we really encouraged our students to go for line dance events once in a while, most importantly to see and get as much skills as possible from other line dancers. From there, at the same time we could learn and get more tips and whats not from them. Besides that of course that's the chance for us to broaden our network in line dancing.

For an example, all this while we have been admiring Nancy (pic above) of Senipadu's dance videos on Youtube. And when Intan told me at the dance floor (yes, we were dancing and talking... I know, thats bad!) that she saw Nancy, I was like, "HAHHH!!! are you sure?". OMG! We were so excited enough that we quickly ran towards her as soon as we completed the dance that we were dancing on to earlier. We had a little bit of chat and of course... camwhore!!!

She also gave me some advised on the way I danced. Tqsm. We admit that both of us are still in the learning stage, even though we have a line dance class. That's why we said that we like to go to line dance events. We shall pick-up good dance moves i.e. body movements, hand styling etc.

We also met Ya'E from Teluk Intan. There were also line dancers from Parit Buntar and of course Taiping itself.

And what's best than capturing all those moments in videos too thanks to our students who brought along their digicams! I don't think my Oly can accommodate all this as its battery has been given me so much problems now hmm... unless if anyone wanna sponsor one, I would be the most happiest gal on earth... woot!

So, enjoy the videos peeps~

And here's my favourite parts of the videos:

• minute 05:37 ~ Kenny walked and saw my hand styling during the song Rio.
• 06:15 ~ He teased me.
• 06:25 ~ Then when he walked through again, this time he danced along me and did his style LOL!
• 12:00 ~ We did Sorry Sorry, while everyone watched.
• 14:41 ~ Earlier Nancy told us that she didn't remember the dance Funky Fire Dance, and that, she would follow us. Unfortunately along the way, I had an accident (mistake) myself hehee... As you could see, that's not a problem at all when you made a mistake in line dancing~ all you have to do is to just continue dancing once you get back the steps... easy-peasy!

We will hope to see all of our dancing buddies again at other events in the near future! We also hope that all is well with all of you on and off of the dance floor! Have a very happy, healthy and safe school holiday season...

Congratulations Sue!

Jennifer Choo Sue Chin (or Sue) found a new avenue for dancing when she was introduced to line dancing in 2004. Her initial curiosity soon blossomed into an all-consuming addiction when she discovered that line dancing fulfilled her childhood passion for dancing, provided her a means to keep fit as well as an opportunity to socialise with like-minded enthusiasts and travel to different places.

In 2006, Sue choreographed Fairy Tale. To her delight, Fairy Tale was picked up by a good number of dancers. This motivated Sue to choreograph more dances. To date, Sue has choreographed 16 dances which were danced worldwide; the better known ones include Hare Ram, Cha Cha Conchita, Love Love Me Do and Innuendo. In 2007, Sue took her new passion in life one step further when she started classes of her own. Later she started teaching her line dance choreographies at dance events. Sue is also a favourite guest artiste at various events where she was invited to showcase her talent as a performer. In 2009, Sue’s contribution to the line dance community was recognised worldwide when she was featured in the February edition of the Line Dancer Magazine.

Sue presently resides in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where she works as a Senior Academic Manager in an e-learning company. She earned her Masters in Educational Technology in 2004.

practicing session with two of our students

Although we have known Sue for quite some time through her great choreography of Love Love Me Do, we started to interact via Facebook only recently. We are of course so proud of her being chosen as one of the Guest Instructors at the WOW Line Dance Spectacular 2010. The event is going to be held in Shanghai, China on September 3 to 5.

Go, Go Sue... Go!
