Arrgggh... I've tried to send the music video to people, but my mailing accounts only letting me send attachments up to 25MB. Auckland Ball Group- Kingdom Hearts ( Important update ) - Page 2 37781

Sorry Rengen and Freddie.

So instead, I'm gonna break the clips down into smaller bits and try to post them somewhere where you can download them.

Anyway, Ive looked at the first 27seconds (the intro before the first verse) obsessively and I think I've figured out- or in some places made up- what they're doing, even when the camera is off the dancers and on the band. To help learn the dance, I've added captions to help (so that everyone learns the same thing) however Id like other opinions pls Auckland Ball Group- Kingdom Hearts ( Important update ) - Page 2 586737

.

For starters, has anyone else here had any Ballroom lessons? I did for 4-6months, so I know the basic steps. But I reckon that overall its a foxtrot given that the song is 4-4time, (rather than a waltz, where its 3-4 time, or Oom-pah-pah) .... am I making any sense? I'd like to discuss what we do when the camera is off the dancers, or when there is obviously been some editing to the dance (i.e. when the dancers are in one position and then impossibly are doing something else).

Anyway a trial of what I'd like to do with the whole song, I've put up the first 14seconds (3.6MB) with captions here: http://www.box.net/shared/r6sapqnbz6
you should be able to download it. M= the Man's part, W=the Woman's part.

Even if you're not too sure on the technical dance stuff, pls give me some feedback of (1)whether you think this is helpful, or (2)whether you know or have another idea on how we can learn this.

(P.S. I am even more excited about this Dance now, and I was Mega-enthused before!)

..../facepalm.
I am now hugely keen for an Auckland get-together-and-learn/practice Auckland Ball Group- Kingdom Hearts ( Important update ) - Page 2 37781

I downloaded the music video yesterday, I'll watch it heaps to atleast get the basic idea into my head n_n

@TT
That sounds really helpful :)

Good, male looks a tad easier which suits me 8D

By demon-girl. 14/04/10, 11:32 am

I don't have a partner yet.
i'll go with who ever. I'm unsure if xXxashxXx is still doing roxas but being partners with her may be the best thing to do snice we live close by.
( and that there ant any other whangarei cosplayers sad

)

@Pyro: Yay because I will wear my (official) Ven costume from last year!

@TinTango: You are superly helpful!

By Aikome. 14/04/10, 12:06 pm

TinTango ~ It certainly is helpful ! Learning the whole dance like that would be waaay easy, especially with the captions. Auckland Ball Group- Kingdom Hearts ( Important update ) - Page 2 711668

@ Tin- Tango, Your made of epic win. (: if is able to flat at Fleyer's house during Auck Geddon will bake you cookies or cupcakes for helping us all out. [:

But still, If you look up Tin- Tango in the Dictionary it would have "made of epic win " under it..

By kelseyketchum. 14/04/10, 01:56 pm

Is there any chance we could have a short rehearsal after Saturday of geddon, to confirm partners and make sure everyone is on the same page?

EDIT: Or even after Sunday geddon/before the ball

By Mandie_Chan. 14/04/10, 02:12 pm

hey~

Due to plan changing things I don't know if I'll be able to bring Cinderella with me. Sorry but at this current point in time I will not be part of this group.

I will probably be wearing a victorian Dress I made for my interview on the Sat. It will be big/heavy and I don't want to carry another dress up if I have that one >_<;

Don't put that down as a definite thing yet-- but it's an idea.

Also, if you need someone to announce the group, and you can't find anyone to do it, then I'd be happy to.

Olli is a cool person and don't think she'll mind. (:

Hell yea I'm a cool person XD

I'll be Pyro's dance partner ^^

And I'm doing a formal version of Aqua
(which is pretty much just changing her shorts into a skirt XD)

By TinTango. 14/04/10, 05:25 pm

Awwww... thanks for the encouragement guys!
Are you all okay if I just keep on posting bits like this then?
That way we can help make the dance more uniform.
I'll post them bit by bit, then people can discuss what they think about them- any problems or thoughts etc. I'll also put them on youtube, so ppl can see what Im talking about too if they cant download.

Like KK suggested, I'm keen for a practice before the Ball, sat evening sounds good, as does Sunday day... (reminds me of the Single Ladies rehearsals). But I'm actually gonna ask for the whole week off before Geddon, if anyone wants to meet up earlier and practise. I'll look towards staying at the backpackers too, for any random rehearsals.

Also, is anyone going to the Welly Ball or NZAE? I'd like to do some teaching/demo vids there, and possibly at Doujin Overload/Auckland Ball.

By Roxas-Has-A-Stick. 14/04/10, 05:42 pm

I'm sure I can spare time from ACB to practice a bit, but the week before Auckgeddon I'm mega busy at school so count me out on that one.

By Khriever. 14/04/10, 05:47 pm

Well looks quite intense lemme see here the only dance experience i have under my belt is i think 2 lessons before the intermediate ball 6-7 years ago and uh more recently a year of ddr/itg >.>

By TinTango. 14/04/10, 08:42 pm

@Roxas- thats okay, I'll post up a reminder for practices, on this thread, when the ACB gets closer.

@Khriever- DDR? That's a great idea! I'll think of some creative way of incorporating DDR into learning it. Although it would be pretty tough as there are no diagonals, and mostly we're dancing on diagonals.

By kelseyketchum. 15/04/10, 02:55 am

A practice at ACB would be okay for me, not so much DO as I have a table and can't leave it too long.

By commandercandyfloss. 15/04/10, 09:56 am

Yeah, same with me and DO.. But I can get up almost any weekend to practice C:

By sakkaf. 15/04/10, 10:47 am

Bahaha, I'll crash the party Auckland Ball Group- Kingdom Hearts ( Important update ) - Page 2 48404

By Number-IX. 15/04/10, 11:32 am

@TTango You. Are. Awesome. <3

With dancing experience, i did like 5 months of foxtrot, tango, waltz, etc, all those ballroom type ones for my Intermediate grad/ball aswell c: I remember mossstt of the moves, but im not sure which moves belong to which dances XD

By Freddie. 15/04/10, 11:43 am

Uuuhhh.
Throughout my childhood I did ballet, contemporary, jazz ect.
Showkids, I'm pretty sure we learnt ballroom for one show.

AND I CAN KRUMP IT UP HARDXCORE BRO.

By Le_Saboteur. 15/04/10, 01:22 pm

Hrk, I don't have a partner either (does any one even know the name of Snow White's 'speshul' prince, anyway?). Unless I find seven tiny men, stack them on top of each other and dance with them... I don't think I'll be dancing.

What a shame >>

I'll take pictures? 8D

By Pyro. 15/04/10, 02:10 pm

@Le_Saboteur-- Why don't you pair up with one of the other Princesses, or something? =O

By Roxas-Has-A-Stick. 15/04/10, 02:16 pm

Aw, that'd be adorable!

**Guest** Guest

@Le_Saboteur--

Maybe TinTango, because he's going as the Beast ?? and winds- of - despair ( Meg from Hercules ) is still looking for a dance partner. (:

The name of the prince from Snow White is called " Prince " Auckland Ball Group- Kingdom Hearts ( Important update ) - Page 2 641870
