The trainings for dnd is coming to an end thus contestants have been super busy these few days. Not only do they have to go for fittings and more fittings, they have to learn the remaining dance moves, perfect their catwalking skills, preparing for their individual special segment and the training gets more and more intensive with each passing day. So they need most, if can, ALL of your moral support and lots and lots of encouragement! support theM!

and while they were preparing for their dance lesson in their dance costumes, I managed to get some contestants and seniors to pose for the camera!

Down to Parklane mall the contestants went, for a visit to SHINE modelling agency, our modelling sponsor once again this year.


Filled with antipation and perhaps slight fear after what we've told them regarding our SHINE experience last year, the first session with SHINE this year turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The trainers are good, constantly encouraging the contestants to bring out their personalities while they walk on the runway and politely correcting them wherever possible.

I believe the contestants were awed by the way how SHINE models walk confidently on the runway, with poses which bring out each of their individual style. To the contestants: IF THE MODELS CAN DO IT, YOU GUYS CAN DO IT AS WELL!

okay for now just enjoy looking at the pictures!

Contestants met their dance master, Gary, for the first time tonight at the hall studio. What they're going to perform on stage for the dance segment would wholly depend on what Gary has in store for them... heh heh.

Alright, it all started with the contestants' introduction of themselves which shocked Gary i suppose, because many of their names are just CHINESE names which Gary, apparently, had a hard time remembering. HAHA.


Then Gary gave a brief description of what exactly the contestants are going to learn, which is actually a fusion of tango(not the traditional kind) and some modern moves; then listening to the song which they are going to dance to(which is very well editted) and then.. ..


The first dance training began! (:


To get the contestants warmed up, guess what they did???? yes, they did warm-ups. Following that were some basic steps with their partners and of course, the dance steps get harder and harder. Despite all the contestants not possessing a dance background, they picked up the steps very quickly and they also tried to perfect the their dance steps using whatever free time they had during the training session as well. G-O-O-D J-O-B good job good job! keep up the good work!!!


The team work that the contestants have showcased so far is largely appreciated and may you all make full use of the remaining weeks to bond even better! IF THE SENIORS CAN DO IT, SO COULD YOU GUYS! (;

p.s: sorry peeps, no pictures for this post! :s
