Hussain and I started a new breakdance elective. in this elective we teach little kids like kids in grade 6 and 7 to breakdance. breakdancing is a very complicated thing and it can injure those who dont know how to do it. me and hussain have a lot of responsibility in out hands. the first thing we did was go over the rules of breakdancing and the class and how people had to listen to me and hussain carefulyl and never fool around because as soon as some one fools in the class "it will be the day that some one will break their neck" (me). the children are cooperating very well and following exactly what we are telling them.
the first few lessons were just to learn the moves and how to move with the rhythm. now though came the complicated stuff. our goal is to be able to perform before graduation. make a whole 4 minute dance incorporating every move they have learned. this brings a lot of stress on mine and hussains back because we have to think on what steps go where keeping on tempo. at the start of the choreographing people were quiet and just followed but today (17/3/2010) the kids were more open minded. we can see that the dance was getting into them. they suggested moves that they could incorporate in the dance. some of them were too childish and very out of rhythm but some were very good. they will slowly improve as the dancing progresses.
the progress is going well. every one is cooperating and we are very on track. in fact we are done with the 4 minute dance all we need is to refine it. i think my goal will be achieved
