danzbuddies 'Back to Skool' Party - 23rd Jan 2010

Saturday, 23rd January 2010

We want to say a big 'Thank You' to all our danzbuddies and friends for cominig to our 'Back to Skool' party - we appreciate the effort put in by so many danzbuddies who came in their school uniforms....

We enjoyed dancing many of the older dances - they brought back lots of good memories of our early years together - when dances were easy to learn and nice to do, when there was no getting all stressed up with the need to play 'catch up' on new dances which often fall by the wayside only weeks after you learned.

Moving forward, we will continue to be selective in introducing the type of new dances to our members and our parties will always have a good mix of easy dances, old favourites and the really popular new dances.

A reminder - our next party will be held on SUNDAY February 28th , 'Chap Goh Meh'- It will be another interesting theme party , so don't miss it.

A big Thank You' also to Alan Khoo for taking and sending us the photographs.........

danzbuddies @ Moulmein FLC Social Dance Party - 23 January 2010

23rd January 2010

Some of our danzbuddies were keen supporters at a new Social Dance Interest Group event organised by the Moulmein Family Life Champion Committee headed by our dear friend Doris Tan. Tanglin CC resident line dance instructress Rosemary Ang was on hand to put the dancers through their paces ; she was assisted by other regular dancers - William, Ben and K C.

Together, they were able to get the group to dance the cha cha cha, disco rock and merengue....

The Moulmein FLC Social Dance Interest Group meets once a month and we welcome all interested in social dance to come and join the group - it's about bringing people together, building friendship and having fun through dance. For more details , please contact Ms. Doris Tan at doristansc@hotmail.com.

hi danzbuddies,

we are sharing 3 nice dances this week - they are:

- 'Kinda Busy' by Craig Bennett ( the guy who gave us 'Senorita'). 32 counts, 4 walls, intermediate level. It's a short dance choreographed to Lady Gaga's 'Telephone'. An easy dance to learn, should be no problem for all.......

- 'Nitty Gritty' by Robbie McGowan Hickie. 48 counts, 4 walls, intermediate level. There's one tag at the end of Wall 2. Danced to 'Nitty Gritty' song by Kimberly Cole. Steps are typical of McGowan dances - not too difficult and not too easy, with quite a lot of syncopated steps. Another well choreographed dance from Robbie....

- ' Martini Moments' by Francien Sittrop. 64 counts, 4 walls, intermediate level. Note, there are two restarts and one tag. Nice song used for the dance - 'A Night Like This ' from Caro Emerald.
Well choreographed dance, steps go well with the song.

danzbuddies New Year Eve Countdown Party 2009

31 December 2009

Some 100 danzbuddies and friends attended their very special New Year Eve Countdown Party at Tanglin CC on 31st December 2009. The theme for the night was 'Las Vegas Chinatown' and many turned up dresssed to the nines in Chinese outfits.

Participants were pleasantly surprised to see the real Casino Game tables, manned by a team of professionally trained croupiers. The Casino Games had been arranged by the Organising Committee which had sought and were given clearance from the CID Gambling Suppression Branch to have the casino games for entertainment.

The Police from Kampong Java Neighbourhood Police Centre were in attendance to share Crime prevention tips to the party- goers and to keep an eye on the proceedings...... We thank them for their generous support of the event with a funding contribution to Goldhill N C to help defray the party expenses.

The bartender came on duty and was kept quite busy serving the wine, and whiskey soda..... Dinner served was a sumptuous buffet spread, catered from our regular caterers - PINES Catering Service ....... they always served up a good meal and did not disappoint us this time. We helped May to celebrate her birthday and members of the Goldhill Ukulele Band were on hand to sing and entertain the crowd......... There were many winners in our Lucky Draw segment with each winner getting valuable NTUC Fairprice shopping vouchers........ The party went into full swing - many danced the night away, many more got hooked at the roulette and card game tables while others just hang out, enjoying every moment...... All in all, we had a great enjoyable party - our thanks go to all those who helped in one way or another to make it a success. Special thanks to the croupiers from AGMI / Casino College who came to set up and operate the casino games.A big 'Thank you' also to danzbuddies Alan and William for all the nice photographs taken at the event. CHEERS TO MORE GOOD TIMES AHEAD.........
