Invasion of the Men in Green!

Saturday, 20th June 2009

The 20th June danzbuddies party at Tanglin CC was well under way, when we noticed some green men, four of them, in fact, dancing amongst us - who are these wierd characters who seemed to have popped up from nowhere......many were wondering?

These men in green turn out to be the well known 'StarHub Mobile Ravers' - the foursome that is currently making waves on Youtube with their many performances being put up at various places in Singapore (click here to see the Ravers youtube performance)Decked in their bright green pants and colour contrasting accessories, the four had been spreading the word about StarHup Mobile Student Plans. Their antics has attracted the attention of many - you may have read about them in the newspapers.........

So, thanks for droppin in on the danzbuddies Ravers..........

danzbuddies Line Dance Party - 20th June 2009

Saturday, 20th June 2009

A good turn out of about 100 line dancers came to our June party. The dance list included the latest new dances learned by the danzbuddies as well as some popular good oldies.

As with the previous month's party, we had many danzbuddies coming forth to do 'DJ Duty' - we were surprised with the good job done by all the 'volunteer DJs'

A big 'Thank You' to all those who came forward. Most danzbuddies readily agree to serve their time, but there are still some who will only do so at gunpoint.............

For this month, we featured a poster display on 'Mental Wellness and Mental Heath' and introduced the Singapore Association of Mental Health which provides services to help those who suffers from various mental illnesses like stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc

Everyone enjoyed the hot mee siam ordered from Newton's Hajah Monah Kitchen. The many extra portions left over went so fast, you wouldn't believe it!

The ice cream treat came as a surprise - but was much appreciated .

We finished the party on a high note by doing our signature 'Rita's Waltz' dance - all those hand-holding goes a long way to promote closer camaraderie amongst danzbuddies
