Yaho! This is Chingay 2010’s New Corner! Actually it’s the Behind-the-Scenes series. C’mon, say “how lucky I get to watch this! It’s behind-the-scenes!”. Good. I’ll be doing posting updates of various groups’ behind-the-scenes, documenting them through the Chingay journey. Watch them as they grow as dancers, as a contingent, and as Singaporeans (:

Chingay 2010 Samba Party Rehearsal
9 January 2010 [the first Samba Party rehearsal]

LIONS, ROAR!

The Lions Club. They never fail to impress me. EVERY SINGLE TIME i see them, they are ALWAYS smiling. No matter how many times they’ve danced round the field and how much they’ve perspired, they’re always happy and smiling, enthusiastically waving their purple handkerchiefs, beaming with pride in their bright vests.

And if it’s one thing I’ve noticed, it’s that leadership is REALLY important. The Lions Clubs have an extremely encouraging leadership. This is purely from an outsider’s point of view, but the leaders never seem tired though they may be, and they’re always verbally cheering the rest of the contingent on.

The emcee screams “Lions! ROAR!!!!” and the whole contingent cheers. (:
They may not be like professional Samba dancers, but they really try their very best to get the group choreography. After all this was the very first Samba Party rehearsal. (: But even though it was the first rehearsal, they were extremely cheerful and they were totally enjoying the moments.

Watch out for more on… the Chingay 2010 behind-the-scenes series!!!!

Coming up soon we have… the cool dudes and dudettes from the Eurasian Association!!!
