Jazz

I took up Jazz! I attended the first class at Danz People yesterday. My instructor is Fil, who teaches in Dance Circle.

In fact I have attended jazz class once in gym but I totally hate it. I tried this class because I saw Fil last week and I think he is professional so I would like to give it a try.

I chatted with Fil before the class started. Fil told me that he started out in the streets too, ie. hip hop. He also teaches hip hop now. As he said, the hip hop now is pop, not really the authentic street dance. He moved from street to ballet and other types of dances. He explained that hip hop focuses more on choreography (yap, it’s true) but he focuses more on the techniques in his class and does little choreography. He will move to more choreography when we are more familiarized with the techniques.

As what Fil has mentioned, I managed to learn new techniques in his class. I really enjoyed Fil’s class and it is the first time I find Jazz interesting. Yes, I will continue Fil’s class!

Having taking booty dance and Jazz, I am taking a step back in Hip Hop at the moment. I want to try other types of dances and explore different genres of music. This will help me brush up in hip hop, hopefully.
