Dear all,

The deadline for Unleash! has been postponed to the 1st of Oct 2006 due to several reasons.

Sorry to all if this project has been stressing you up... but i still hope that above all, you'll enjoy it and put your best in it. It's also a time to learn to work with one another and accept each other's differences. Maybe towards the end of the year is a bad timing for all, but hopefully we will all rise up to the occasion and still commit to this ministry.

There are a lot of things that i am unable to confirm with some of you at the moment like the dates of practices...and the list of dancers for church anniversary. For now, the list of dancers for Christmas is confirmed. As for church anniversary, i really need more time to think and pray about it. As we move along, i'll update you guys.

Next dance practice will be this sunday 3/9/2006 in the chapel, straight after service, wanxin will be teaching. Due to my commitment with the kids till 1st Oct, i will be quite busy. But i will still try & make time for you guys (= so cooperate w wx first ya?

Continue to keep each other in prayer..cus i think as a ministry, we havent been spending that much time to pray and seek God. I understand that there are some of you who are also involved in many other commitments in the youth ministry or church... do let me know how you are doing. i will try to work something out with you. lets make the habit of sharing with each other ya?

God bless u guys.

love
shauna

List of dancers
Friday, August 25, 2006

hey all!

Thanks to all who have responded and for those that were really encouraging.
this is the updated list of the dancers who are dancing for christmas.

Faith
Melanie
Cassandra
Teresa
Shauna
Sebestian
Quanxiang
Daniel (tentatively they are in unless cos of exams.)
Shuoxian

For church anniversary,

we'll involve everyone unless the guys are going to serve the nation.hahas there'll be a skit and the same dance. Maye will join us as we practice for the dance and dance for church anniversary. Candice has responded,she will join us in mid Nov. So there's still time for her to dance. As for the rest that did not mention when they can join us..we'll include you guys as well.in the skit or sthg.

thanks everyone for taking the time off to seriously think about your commitment and for responding back to me.Thank you(= really appreciate it.

One thing we need to get thing clear is that, as the dance com has decided..all should dance unless for valid reason. Let's not make it habit as to dance whenever we are free and feel like dancing.But being in the dance ministry requires discipline and commitment. This christmas dance is an exception because its at the end of the year so a couple of you are involved in the O's and A's.. all the best in your preparation!! God bless you guys.
Please check out this blog often as there'll be more updates! thank you!

Hope the preparation of Unleash! is getting exciting and fun for all!
group leaders pls rmb to get back to me!

love

We're all in this together!
Tuesday, August 22, 2006

hey everyone,

with special thanks to Jed..we have a new name to call our dance project! TA DA!!!

Unleash!:A Choreography Assortment
Anyway, i just want to share with you a song which i really like a lot! It speaks about unity, having fun and believing in ourselves. so hope you enjoy.

(High School Musical) Song: We're All in This Together Lyrics
Together, together, together everyone
Together, together, come on lets have some fun
Together, were there for each other every time
Together together come on lets do this right
Here and now its time for celebration
I finally figured it out (yeah yeah)
That all our dreams have no limitations
That's what its all about
Everyone is special in their own way
We make each other strong (each other strong)
Were not the same
Were different in a good way
Together's where we belong
We're all in this together
Once we know
That we are We're all stars
And we see that
We're all in this together
And it showsWhen we stand
Hand in hand
Make our dreams come true
Together, together, together everyone
Together, together, come on lets have some fun
Together, were there for each other every time
Together together come on lets do this right
We're all here
and speaking out with one voice
we're going to rock the house (YEAH YEAH!)
the party's on now everybody make some noise
come on scream and shout
We've arrived becuase we stuck together
Champions one and all
We're all in this together
Once we know
That we are We're all stars
And we see that
We're all in this together
And it showsWhen we stand
Hand in hand
Make our dreams come true

so dancers, unleash your potential and lets always remember that TOGETHER we can soar and make our dreams come true!!

love!shauna

Sunday, August 20, 2006

you guys have been really good last sunday! Thank you for being so cooperative and punctual too!!

For future notices...we'll blog it here,so pls do check out this blog often k? and pls pls..feel free to blog anything abt dance here! lets keep it alive!

Next dance practice will be on the 3rd of Sept. Please come for prac!

Here's the updates for the Grp choreography project cum competition.

Melanie,Quanxiang,Daniel,Samantha,Faith,Candice

Grp 2

Mayeleanor,Shuoxian,Sebestian,Cassandra,Teresa

Judges

Wanxin, Shauna

Objectives
To experience choreographing and to establish closer bonds with one another.
To learn to be responsible,creative and supportive of one other.

Things to do:

1. Choose a grp leader
2.Come up with a grp name and with a reason why u choose that name
3.Choose any style/genre of dance; any type of music as long as the lyrics is suitable to be played in church;Any creative way of presenting will be good;Tell us your message that you want to bring across with the song;props and costumes are allowed.
4.Please do your hw on the style that you have chosen. Dance to be less than 10 mins.
5.Deadline Sept 17 2006
6.Winning group will get to present their item during one of our "lunch time performance" (something new that we are trying to do)on a sunday.

Exciting? YEA! Chosen leaders for this project please inform me about the song and the style that you have chosen. Thanks.


Another thing i need you all to consider very carefully is to decide if you are interested to dance for this christmas. There'll be a choreographer from outside to teach us. It's a Hip hop style. It's a new style that we are trying in our dance ministry. But besides it being fun and exciting, commitment plays a very impt part. The practices will be on weekends and be prepared for intensive practice in Dec. It'll be really difficult to keep up if we miss practices. Please keep in mind that this dance is very different from our past dances so more effort will be needed from everyone. So consider very carefully before you agree to it because it's your responsibility to make it for the practices.Backing out halfway will make things very difficult for I need you all to sms or email me your decision by this wed 23rd Aug 2006. Thanks!!!

Love!
Shauna

Random stuff to make this blog more alive
Thursday, August 17, 2006

Yoyo!

Examinee Daniel here. Haha. I just wanna thank u guys who are praying for me and shuo xian. So far... everything going well. (Only the marks will tell). I have suffered no mental breakdowns and i think i'm still good to go for a couple more papers before i snap.

Anyway, Shuo xian challenged me to blog something so i decided to blog this.

Once upon a time there was a girl called Shauna. this girl had ideas, ideas that ran around in her head like sparrows in an autumn cluster of maple trees. but, as any boy or girl that has great ideas knows, one needs help to bring these ideas to life. so the girl called shauna searched near and far for other musical people that would help her in bringing her ideas to life. in her perilous travels he thought of a very talented girl named wx. Shauna knew her from her childhood. and then shauna remembered her friend teresa. she remembered the fantastic journeys they had taken together in the past, and decided that teresa would be a perfect companion on her new musical endeavour. but the unit was not complete, until shauna met a group of musical people. so ended shauna's search for the ideal partners in the realiazation for her whimsical ideas, ideas that would hopefully meet people, and touch them, and change their feelings about life and they called it CID. They danced their little songs of life and beauty for anyone who would watch. and they decided this was a very good thing...


Actually..this is a modified extract taken from the BERNARD music band, which i'm quite fond of. Interesting style of literature.

Ok, back to mugging.
.. Thanks yor.

Daniel
