Vancouver and Hong Kong (Part 1)

Travelling back to Hong Kong, I stopped off at Vancouver for a few days to visit my Grandma and while I was there I had a chance to take a class at Harbour Dance with Natasha Gorrie. I remember meeting her once at one of the MSSD sessions and watching her at Bust A Move at the hip hop finals, I said to myself, "I need to take a class with her." And finally I did and she was awesome! After the class, I got to talk to her as well and she gave me some insight on the choices I have on where I want to go towards in dance and how I can achieve it. She was super nice! Thanks to my friend Debbie, I went to Robson square and got to see where some of Vancouver's dancers practice/session. It was pretty dope, kinda like a dancer's playground!

I only found the waackers a couple minutes before they left so couldn't take a picture, but was able to get down with them for a bit. :) Can't wait till I'm back again in August!  

Now, coming back to HK I somehow stumbled across a waacking battle + workshop that was being held the weekend I got back. I didn't battle because I haven't really practiced but I took two of their workshops, one with Akuma Diva and another with Waackeisha!

I really enjoyed the workshops and I think I got a lot out of it!! Can't wait to train this summer and see if I can use what I learnt and make it my own vocabulary. Also hopefully, there'll be more battles and workshops I can join and do in HK while I'm here.

Below is the video of Akuma Diva's workshop that I took, check it out! His choreo and musicality was crazy dope!
