RJ Dance Camp 2008 :D

This is to certify that Mohit has survived the ACJC Dance Camp 2008 and is officially an AC Dancer.

This is what my Cert reads... Yoohoo! And I am so glad to be a part of the ACJC Dance society!

.prep.
I prepared a lot. I had to find all sort of clothes, buy all kinds of gifts for my angel and yet-to-be-given mortal, pack everything in one small bag! But it was fun. I couldn't go to school on Friday (which could land me in a lot of trouble, but heck, who cares?)...

.prelude.
I went to our haven- The Aerobics studio dressed in blacks, carrying two heavy bags filled with clothes, food, shoes, gifts, toiletries and a lot of other "unmentionables". Our group rehearsed for our self-choreographed gig for about half an hour, and then we were off to inventing group cheers and playing some ice-breakers(if there was any ice to be broken). Our group GENE KELLY came in fourth in the "tea sucking" game and second in the "digg the polo sweets" game! After all I was the one who was digging out the polos from the flour... thu thu! Oh ya, I got my new mortal before that, and it turned out to be one of my favorite J1s- the multi talented, DEPper, fellow 'proud n prejudiced' Chrislyn! :) So, I wrote my first letter to her after all the cheers and dinner, but she never replied :(.

.launch.
Raj arrived and we had our first warm ups and routine (Rock!) with Raj being the entertainer that he is. I need to be stronger, so much more, like my disguised Angel (to be revealed later). He taught a new routine and I let my group down again by not being together. What the hell is wrong with me??? Some one please explain to me. Moving on, Ms. Jackie came and taught us a tap routine (we are using it for Restless and I am so out of it, I suck at tap!)... Chrislyn was phenomenal even without shoes... After all, she is my mortal, Haha! After all the dancing, we showered and had supper which was heavenly with all the brownies and a lot of cremo! I wrote my second letter, with an orange juice to refresh her in the morning, but she still did not reply! Very good... Somebody was really busy.

.movie.
Oh, we watched Center-stage, Honey and Chicago- all filled with really hot dances! And then before going off to sleep, I got my Angel's much-awaited first letter with the ass saying "As I am new to Dance, could you begin by giving me an introduction!"... Anyways, I wrote a reply to him with an enlarged specimen of his own gift to me (Snickers!) and went to sleep listening to music! :) P.S. I am so sorry I couldn't wish Renuka a happy birthday.


joy 'n chrislyn :)


nathalie and nick had to turn!


lounging on Pete's sleeping puff

.rise and shine.

shawn- the tired urchin :p

I woke up quite early at 6, before everyone else, to write a good morning to my dear mortal. Ah, how nice I am! ;D The worship by Bev and Tim was awesome, and so was the breakfast with all the cereal from Heather, juice from myself and donuts by Putu! I love my group Gene Kelly. But then, I dicovered I had lost my soap and one pair of blacks last night. I showered, nevertheless. And got ready for Ms. Stacey's hiphop class, which turned out to be a clubbing session and really fun. And I was dressed in a singlet, cap, accessories and baggy pants (Picture me!)... Then, she took us for Belly dancing, which is a really hot genre of dance! And Chrislyn is really good at everything... I saw her belly dancing, and I was like wow! And I am not that bad at belly dancing too, even though the masculine steps are not much of a treat! :p


.don't stop.
After Lunch, Raj came and he played this lyrics game with us on one of the Restless 2 songs , and I was asked to say the lyrics in an Indian accent to earn points for my group! After a lot of fun, he taught us yet another Janet Jackson number- Don't Stop All Night. I still can't get the Salsa twist step like Tazz, but wait for it! And I got scolded again for not being with the group for just one step... Sigh! Anyways, we had the master class after that by a South African instructor Ms. Celestunisen who taught us Latin Jazz and man, it was a blast! :D She started on a high note and finished on an even higher note. To demonstrate one of the couple positions, she picked me! After, we had demonstrated how close the couple needs to be, she complimented me on my perfume! I mean what the... And the dancers were hooting away to glory! And as expected, my mortal was unbelievable at the latin jazz as well! I danced with Beatrice- one of the J1s who was way too shy but was fun to dance with anyways! And then, we got group time to rehearse for the group item- ours being on Gene Kelly's Broadway and tap style! "lollipop & wicked little girl" ... BD

.the blast.
Well, it started tense with all of us rushing to get ready and get to the void deck- the ultraglam venue! And I was finishing my final letters of course... =) I had thoughtfully picked up an eye massager for my mortal and apple chews for my angel =) Even with rickety start because of some tensions with the committee and teachers, the party was breathtaking. It started with the AC Dancer oath with us bullying Joanne again (ok!) and Raj making us laugh all the time with his superstar antics! :D There wasn't much vegetarian food but that wasn't going to taint the night's Xperience for me! I had a feast full of fruits... Then began the first round of prize presentation, and behold Edlyn (the most masculine dancer 2007) who was called upon to relinquish her crown for her heir in 2008! And it was none other than the manly, gangsta woman Yun Ning! Woohoo, the most masculine award yet again evades all the guys! Haha BD


dramatic dancers


burnin' it up with lovely lydia!


one of my fav. mafia junies- Tim!


go on, go on, come on leave me breathless ;)


pretty picture perfect.
Thanks for the worship, encouragement, dance and everything else Bev! :)

Anyways, then was a new award for the worst dressed dancer called the 'Mohit award', which is obviously ironical since Raj said that I was the best dressed that evening! ;) And Christopher, our new starlet went away with it... After these two booby awards, Joan won the "Most supportive Dancer 2008" (I got nominated and that was my dream come true :) I <3>

.dance-battle.
First group was Julian Michelle and they did the same number shown during the movie screening- "All that Jazz" with Aretha as Catherine Zeta Jones, lol! But it was really sexy, and cheesy at times too! After that came Richenda's group- Kenny Ortega, who performed on the High School Musical numbers! It was really fun to watch them! Third in line was Raj's own choreographed number in PnP- Soulmate! But this time with the dancers of Martha Graham choreographing it in lyrical style! And in Raj's words (who was feeling quite insecure, haha!)- "It was really Wow!" Then, we performed- The GENE KELLYs and ours was "an enjoyable performance with a refreshing concept" (All kudos to you Taj) Yay :D


gene kellys- Do you have the dance genes?

After that was Marty Kudelka's turn to show us what they had, and it was really hip and hop, with a hilarious ending: (in breathless, erotic tone) "Marty, we never marty. Marty Kudelka, Yeowww" Vanessa's group- was really amazing too and so were the Michael Jacksons, led by none other than my mortal- Chrislyn! But the Mia Michaels inspired group was truly mesmerizing, even though they had problems with the music! I reiterate- I <3>

.climax.
Due to time constraint, the rest of the prize ceremony was rushed... *highlights* I won the coveted- Jidan award. True successor to Kenneth, haha, but I am proud of being scolded the most ok! It helps a lot. Our beloved Heather Momo won the Best Group Leader award. Go heather feather! And Julian Michelle in an unexpected upset of Kudelkas won the Best group award! Phew! Then, finally came the revelation of Angels and Mortals, after Raj had almost forgotten about it... And Dear Chrislyn claims to have guessed that it was me but too late, because she never wrote it to me, haha. I hope my gift helps you recover darling! *BLUE WHALE HUG* :) And that ass Peter turned out to be my angel, ending off perfectly by gifting me a ladies' wallet... I want to kick him... Haha, but still *Chest Bump* And after a bit of cam whoring, all the scholars left off with me going off with Lam in a cab. So anti-climatic! :|


the slave kellys. (I discovered what a camwhore Taj is! Haha)

fulfilled mohito!

P.S. Ms. Yu talked to me about whether I went to school on Friday and she was upset about me coming to camp when I didn't attend school. :(
P.S.S. This is part of what Chrislyn wrote to me in her exclusive and ONLY letter, and this has touched me like nothing else before. I don't know if anyone has done this before, thanks friend.

Dear God,
I thank you for my angel. The orange juice, the pink sweets, the lovely letters & ALL else you've given... through my angel of course.

:)
