Maxt Out!

Wow, it feels like it's been weeks, but Maxt Out was only this past weekend. I got to the venue a little later than everyone from Biz due to the class I taught right before heading there. I could've gotten a sub, but I chose not to reason being that I enjoy teaching that class. =]

It was a pretty long day, but it went by like a blur. The minute I got there and checked FamBiz in to the competition, Teen Groov was already about to go on stage. So we had to get seats quick. Luckily, the venue wasn't super packed yet.

Right after their performance, we headed out for lunch. We've been working hard all week, so I figured that relaxing their minds and letting them fully take part in the festivities would help.

I got to catch up with some old friends who were apparently at the event that day and go to talk about how our teaching methods were for kids. It's nice to get some new ideas to try out to make class more fun.

Right after reconvening, FamBiz went straight to work. We warmed up our bodies by doing the routine with about 50% effort and focused mainly on formations and the usage of space. This is probably the least stressed I've ever been before a performance. I've always felt like there was more that we could work on, but with how things have been recently, I had no reason to worry. I trusted that everyone was going to give their best effort and would perform at the level Marc and I expected them to be.

Before I knew it, we were waiting our turn to get on stage. I hate and enjoy this part. I had huge stage fright when I was younger and that same feeling of anticipation was always there. But once I'm on that stage, it's like a high I can't ever get anywhere else. I love it. And soon enough, it was time to do work.




It's such an amazing feeling being able to share this stage, this ride, and this journey with friends. I've always enjoyed the feeling of comradery ever since being in All Male at GHS. I've felt that the journey together is what bonds us closer as a team and a family. I can't wait for whatever else comes this season.

Just Performed at Avec Night Club with T2P

Just got home from performing with T2P over at Avec Night Club at Huntington Beach, CA.
It was a dope showcase, I've never seen contemporary routines performed at a club before.
I had a lot of fun watching the other performers do their routines (shout out to Bare Dance Company and
Heavy Impact). 

It was interesting watching the crowds reaction towards watching a routine with a lot of sex appeal to a routine with a lot of depth. The crowd definitely loved the sex appeal; especially in a society of the "sex sells" mentality. 

Not bagging on the other routines or anything, I like observing people and I was just taking note of the audience. It was great night seeing people share their talents on stage. I got to spend it with my girlfriend along side with some great company and free bottle service! Can't complain about that!

I don't know if there's a video up, but once it's up I'll post it when I get a hold of it.
