After the l o n g two-week break, our Sunday danzbuddies couldn't wait to get together again. Everyone turned up in their Chinese New Year best and we took our traditional Chinese New Year group photo - it's good to see what happens from year to year, new members joined, old members lost, etc.
All came in a celebratory mood and everyone seem to have brought some goodies to share - we run out of space for all the food presented. As usual, we disciplined ourselves and had to warm up and do some serious line dancing first before attacking the buffet.
We brought back a couple of oldies - 'pasadena' and 'no tengo dinero' to start off the session. Both these dances went well with the group - good golden oldies never fail to bring satisfaction to our Sunday danzbuddies.
Time came for 'recess' and members wasted no time tucking into the various dishes on offer - the delicious 'nyonya mee-siam' served up by Auntie Nancy proved to be a hit and was the first to be 'sold out'.
Now, they only want to 'makan' - getting everyone back onto the dance floor was no easy task.
Our 'gong xi, gong xi' circle dance finally did the trick and soon every one was joyously dancing and wishing each other 'gong xi, gong xi, gong xi ni!' .
Our 'gong xi' dance had evolved from our 'auld lange syne' dance choreographed for our Count Down Party. It's a nice happy dance - always gets everyone onto the dance floor, excited and laughing away.
