JOGET HATI SENANG

As mentioned in the previous post, my students/friends & I got together yesterday to record my latest dance: JOGET HATI SENANG

We did several takes.....and I was prepared to head home for some post-recording editing. But fortune was smiling on me. No editing was necessary save for adding the Title, Credits and annotations. It's not completely perfect of course. There were some missteps here and there.....but that's normal for us...lol

I haven't yet decided if I'll be submitting the stepsheet to the normal line dance search websites. Will gauge response first.

Here's the video :).......please keep an open mind when viewing it as we're not professional Joget dancers and all but one of us (Zer) have never done the Joget before. Therefore we hope you will be kind to the imperfections.





I would like to record my deepest gratitude to the following:

The dancers.... for taking time out from their leisurely Sunday to help me with the recording, and also for being game enough to dance the choreography in our Malay traditional costume, the kebaya.

Special mention & thanks go out to Zerlina, who had called me in the morning to say she thinks she's got conjunctivitis. But like a true trouper, she turned up knowing that we would not be as complete without her in the team. Thanks Zer! You don't know how relieved I was to hear you could make it! :D

To Melanie for her moral support & for manning the camera and 'directing' us ;P

And to Yoshiko, for helping me secure the hall and being there throughout the recording.

Thank you ALL! I am blessed! :)
