Despite the fact that last week Elvee informed all dancers that full attendance is required, yet due to commitment to school, work and etc, not many people came. Thus, in the end she could not appoint the final position for all.
As to last week name list, there are near 50 people in this items. And yesterday, a few more came. I was called out to teach 3 female new comers and they learn pretty fast. 1 of which came before but don't know why she don't know the steps. Another girl was sister of a guy who came a few times already. And that time, I also kind of guide her brother when he joined. LOL. Anyway, she already know part of the steps from her brother so it's not so bad.
The challenge is that we are spilt into 2 groups. Left and Right and at certain part, we were dancing different direction. And out of the 3 girls, the youngest, a 10 year old, was at the right side. Different group from me. So I had to challenge my mind to teach her the opposite direction from what I learnt, from what I had been 'training' in my mind. When I tried dancing with her, I kind of keep on screwed up as I was so used to the Left side.
By the time the 3 of them finished learning the 3 sets of 4 groups of 8 plus a chorus sets of 8 groups of 8, the people who had been revising had already learnt the final 8 groups of 8 which I haven't learn. So I could not teach the new comer those steps already.
While the main groups of people are resting, I seek help from an ex-sunflower senior to teach me the new steps and after a few try, I manage to remember the new steps. Yay!!!
So I quickly gather the new girls to teach them the new steps. These final 8 groups of 8 are choreograph by 1 of the new girl's brother. As she seemed to be learning from him, we just gather the other 2 new girls to teach them.
Overall, I really amazed that the new girls manage to learn the steps so fast. Wow! Even though they were standing behind. They manage to catch up with the rest when the song start. Furthermore the song is pretty fast.
