From the previous weeks, we've been discussing of editing our music since we think that the audience will get bored with just the same song and the same rhythm for several minutes so we ask Larry, our friend to help us. We discuss on what songs to put in and what timing. With the edited song, most of our choreography will be cut and we might have to find new movements to follow the new songs. Even though we still need to revise some part of the edited song, we started using it today. We showed Ms. Risa the song and we decided to make some new movements and see if we can put in some of our previous choreography. We managed to create new choreography but I face some problem. Kristie and I have a misunderstanding of our movement. I have difficulties in actually doing the movement itself so at that particular part, i keep on reminding myself not to make mistakes and that took half of my concentration to my power and facial expression. Other than that, all of us were immersed with the new movement. So, Nihal and I paired up and we do this (sort-of) couple dance where Nihal will be behind me and doing this hand movement. We hope that this movement will entertain the viewer for our performance in February. We don't realize that the time has gone by so fast. We've been practicing for 3 hours - 3,5 hours. We were concentrating so hard and try to make our first performance a huge one.

Today, we learn so many new movements. Ms. Risa also contributed 2 times 8 beats for the dance movement. We also decided to dance taking turns. So Kristie and I will dance first then Nihal and Carissa will dance their own choreography. I contributed in making the new choreography for Kristie and I. I also help Nihal to find a better choreo. I love the new movements especially when we line up in a straight line and just spread our hands in different levels. I think that it's amazing to see our progress in our cooperation skill. I'm just hoping that we can do the dance well for our performance in February.

Todqay, we don't have the opportunity to learn our new dance moves for this week because we want to focus on the prepared choreography first and make it nice and clean :)
We change our opening style and keep on practicing it. Ms. Risa want us to add details and make our movements clear. We practice on being cooperative so that our dance will be better. All of us think that today's practice was very tiring since we really try to use our power so that we can improve our dance movements. Since we're planning to perform at Art-fest, we have to do the best for this CAS. I think I have improved my power but i still need to work on at following the beat.
The learning ourcomes: increased awareness of increase and areas of growth, worked collaboratively with others, shown perseverance and commitment to the activity, and also developing new skills.

Today, Ms. Risa can not attend the lesson because she is sick yet we still continue on practicing by ourselves. we practice on our new movements and thinking of remix songs. We're also planning to perform at the Art Festival yet we haven't fully decide yet. I think this wekk is a bit disappointing because without Ms. Risa, we don't actually know if we're good enough or not and honestly, Ms. Risa gave us the urge of wanting to try harder. When she's absent, we feel that we're less motivated even though we're still trying our best to practice.
