Performances: From nothing to something and to be continued.......


Hey Hey!!!
I am Amanda and I shall shed some light on our performances so far, accompanied by
my take on joining this awesome group. So stay put and enjoy! :)

We all came together as participants for the flashmob and met every thursday for
practice. This soon became a habit and along the line all of us became really good
friends. The practice sessions were so much fun and everyone was motivated all
the time and the energy levels......don't ask about it!

We were asked to perform a few times at festivals before we actually did our grand
performance (the flashmob video, which is a MUST watch!!) and we willing obliged,
as it was good practice for the real deal.

Our nerves were working on overdrive as we were waiting to get on stage and bust some moves, for our first ever performance. I was very scared of stuffing up or even worse, forgetting
the steps. I’m sure everyone else felt the same and our lovely choreographer
(Sunny Kumar) gave us a really good pep talk right before we got on, which
calmed our nerves enough to get on stage. And needless to say our first
performance was mindblowingly good!! We got alot of compliments and offers to perform
at various events. The adrenaline rush after the first performance was really
addictive. All the nervousness and jittery feelings we got in our stomach were
long gone and in spite of there being a few slip ups we still managed to WOO
the crowd! After this, all we wanted to do was to keep performing.

Our second performance was 2 weeks later at another Eid festival. We were well prepared this time around and knew what to expect and what was expected of us. So the performance was at a whole new level. We received the same appreciation and cheers from the crowd as we
did the first time. It did wonders for our stage confidence and worked as a
charm for our final performance.

The final performance was simply A-W-E-S-O-M-E. The days leading up to it were pretty tedious though. What with everyone trying to polish up the steps and look as professional as possible?! And the results…..well, you’ll have to be the judge of that. You REALLY should go
watch the video now, if you haven’t already.

All in all it was really surprising to find so many talented people who shared the same passion in
dancing and enjoyed doing it as much as I did. I’d say that we make a great
team.

Now, all YOU have to do is just wait for a bit longer, until we come back with some smashing new songs and show you our new moves.
Till then stay tuned and keep dancinggggggg!!! :D
