JSA Asian Occasion Practice #1

We are holding our 1st JSA asian occasion dance practice and here is how the timing will be like:

From 7:00 – 8:00 we will be teaching you how to dance the Soran Bushi (japanese traditional song and dance).

From 8:00 – 9:00 Michelle Ou will be teaching you how to dance the choreography to a remixed japanese song of Lady Gaga Poker and Do Me More Namie Amuro. Warning to those that are trying to learn the modern dance: it will be fast and kind of hard to grasp because the dance moves choreographed are little advanced than beginner dancing. Just be aware of that fact.

Please be on time for practice and wear dancing attire that you will comfortable wearing and dancing in. Preferably tennis shoes and pants you can move and stretch in.

It will be held in the lounge in the campus center by SA and Copies Plus.

Hope to see you there!
