Well this month i've had both good news and bad news. The bad news is that my mentor Michael Bailey will be retiring soon as a choreographer and a dancer. This really got me bummed out because he was the first person to recognize my style of dancing and showed me what i can accomplish. He was the person who told me to audition for Marvels Dance Company and later become the best of the best. He was my mentor in a close level and i will miss him when he retires in December. The good news is that i will be having a new Mentor Tawnya Nguyen, who is a choreographer for Marvels Dance Co and a professional dancer in an adult team, Rogue Makers.
This Month we started to order the Company's outfit for the next competition. I didn't think it was important but it really matters what you wear on stage because it can influence what the audience thinks of you and your choreography. For example if you wore saggy pants and a long shirt and did ballet, the audience would not take you serious and would most likely not get the full art of what you are doing. Yet if you wore that same outfit to a crump or hiphop style choreography, you will make the audience feel the strong and "thug" tension you are trying to enforce on them. I cannot show the outfit right now for it is a secret until they show the team but i will gladly post it once they give out the new look.
