YEAR-END LINE DANCE GETAWAY

I posted the message below on Facebook yesterday to get some feedback on my annual line dance party. I'm re-posting it here so that my friends and students who are not Facebook-ers can also share their 2-cents' worth :)

"I'm toying with the idea of a linedance party with a difference end of this year. A 2D1N getaway to a friend's back-to-nature resort in Gopeng. As she is always fully booked end of the year due to popular demand, I need to book early. Anyone interested? If your kids want to go too, I can arrange for a kids camp to happen simultaneously, at the same location, with our ladies' getaway :D Your feedback is welcome."

I would love to hear from you too. :-D

Dance Floor Etiquette

With so many line dance parties going on in Malaysia these days, it is always good to remind ourselves every now and then of what we should and shouldn't do while on the dance floor. Following good dance floor etiquette will allow each dancer to enjoy herself/himself without denying others of their enjoyment too.

Gary Lafferty (UK) came up with this latest list, which he has posted on his website and also in WLDN, and I thought I'd help to spread his good advice by posting it here too :)

I am thrilled & honoured to be invited as Guest Instructor for the WOW Line Dance Spectacular 2010 in Shanghai, together with fellow Malaysian Jennifer Choo Sue Chin. Thanks Judy! :D

Main instructors include renown choreographers like JO THOMPSON, RACHAEL McENANEY, KATE SALA, SCOTT BLEVINS & NIELS POULSEN. Roy Verdonk was initially in the line-up but is unable to attend due to health reasons.

Quite a number of us from Malaysia will be heading to Shanghai this September for Judy Chen's annual line dance event. And some will be staying for the post-event tour to Beijing, arranged by Judy.

Those Malaysians who've attended her event before attest to her organisation skills and have only good things to say of the event. So......, if you haven't signed up but are keen to know more.....visit her website for more information.


See you there! :DD

My New Year Resolution/Contribution

An article in The Star paper on Sunday (17 Jan 2010) prompted me to finally put into action what I had wished to do but never got around to it: to sponsor a child under the World Vision Sponsor A Child programme.

So last Sunday, I finally sat myself down in front of my computer, typed in the web address for the Malaysian chapter of World Vision (WV) and keyed in my details for the programme. On Monday, I faxed the application over to WV's office and today I received their confirmation email.

The simple gift of RM50 a month goes towards helping the child have access to health care, education, food, etc. The money doesn't go directly to the child, but is pooled together with that of other sponsors to implement long-term, community-wide changes that help break the vicious cycle of poverty. To find out more, check out www.worldvision.org or for Malaysians, go to www.worldvision.org.my

In two weeks' time, I should be receiving a photo of the child I sponsored. Can't wait... :D
