Yaho! I’m back with MORE behind-the-scenes footage! This time, it’s more than the Chingay rehearsals; we poked slightly deeper into things and took a little peek into the usual routine of one of the choreographers for Chingay 2010’s Japanese Association of Singapore item – Koike Keiko Sensei!

She has a dance school called Keiko Dancing Mates, or KDM for short. They are actually Japanese homemakers who have a passion and love for dancing, and decided to join dance to spice up their lives a tad, and through KDM, they had a chance to take part in Chingay!

When we went there, they were fervently practising their cool MTV hipohop moves. It’s amazing how Keiko Sensei can so carefreely yet sharply execute her dance steps. She’s always smiling and cheerfully and willingly cleaning up the moves. I was noticing her as she watched her students dance, she had such a focused look on her face as she watched every single one of her students execute the moves. She’s has the serious yet fun aura. One would totally enjoy Keiko Sensei’s groove and cafefree countenance and also count on her for doing her job to the best it can be done. SUCH PROFESSIONALISM!!!!

I really enjoyed my 2h there watching them dance. The ladies really put their all into nailing the choreography. In that short 2h that we were there, I saw awesome improvement! They really showed what it meant to be focused and improve. That, I really admire. And to make me fall in love with them even more, they were EXTREMELY hospitable and friendly! I really didn’t want to leave their company!

And one of the ladies brought her adorable baby Yusui for the practice, and I had the privilege to carry him! He was soo adorable I felt like pinching his cheeks! Haha in the end he found a new toy – my necklace, and kind of refused to let go of it. How adorable….

In any case, most of the ladies were also part of Chingay. And it made me salute them more – motherhood, dance, Chingay… How do they do it??? Well, they nailed it.

Chingay’s TOMORROW!!!!
I’m STOKED!! Are you???
