2/10/2024 1 Comment Hip hop dance moves names 2016Despite hours of practice and rehearsal that deeply integrate intricate movement sequences into their memory, sometimes a dancer “just blanks” and is forced to improvise until they can recall the next sequence. – Faye Rauw, Co-Founder, Sprouts – Growing Bodies & MindsĪlmost every dancer has experienced “blanking” at some point in their career, forgetting a known section of choreography during performance. I remember thinking to myself, ‘Whatever! This happens all the time! People forget all the time! Eventually I just ran to where I was supposed to go to next and jumped right back into the choreography. Fortunately, I didn’t throw off the other girls from the show with my running and screaming. All I could do was laugh hysterically, scream, ‘Ahhh!’ and, for some reason, I started running on the spot. I was, of course, right in the front, dead centre, when my mind went completely blank. We were having the best time ever onstage, when, all of a sudden, in the middle, I just blanked. At this one particular gig, we were doing a sort of hip hop fusion/jazz funk performance at an outdoor event. We performed in sporting and commercial events, fashion shows and birthday parties in Vancouver. When I was first starting out as a professional dancer, I worked with a dance company that some friends and I had created called Girls Only.
