Wenn Du es noch einmal tun könntest, würdest Du rückblickend nach der Schule wieder genau den gleichen Weg einschlagen oder würdest Du etwas anders machen?
Hey, die Frage ist ja erst ein Jahr alt :-) Ich würde vieles anders machen, sonst hätte ich ja in den letzten Jahren wenig dazu gelernt. Vor allem würde ich länger in der Schule bleiben und versuchen langfristige statt kurzfristige Ziele zu erreichen.

Can you explain to us non-dancers what exactly waacking is?
Hm. Its quite difficult to explain to those not so familiar with or into dance. There have been many different explanations. One I recently read that was nice and succinct: "Think Glamour, Grace, Funk and Arm Patterns!" Also here is a good interview video with one of the original practitioners in the style of waacking Tyrone Proctor (who danced on the famous US show "Soul Train") - answering this very question http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb0zQNK-meo#t=3m10s
My explanation? So... what I know of waacking and it's history is that Waacking originated in the early 70s - it was created in the gay, underground disco clubs of LA and was danced to underground disco music. It is a very theatrical and dramatic dance - influenced by the 50s silent movie actresses (eg Greta Garbo). It is a freestyle dance. The components of waacking include fast strong arm movements and hand/wrist flicks, poses (in the style of the 50s silent movies rather than 80s magazines), theatre & glamour, footwork and anything else you choose to inject into the dance from your own dance background that interprets the music. It doesn't HAVE to be danced to disco music but it is ideal to learn the style to disco music because that is how it was born. It is a fierce dance that requires PLENTY of attitude and character. And the reason I love it is because it is so freeing - it allows so much personal expression, particularly as a woman, expressing my femininity (none of this masculine gansta stuff you often see in other street dance styles) and strength. It is a really difficult dance to master because the musicality is so hard. To be able to hear and pick out the different instruments in a song, esp ones that the average person doesn't hear, when its flying by so fast.. and successfully waack on those rhythms. When you see someone who can do this (look up Princess Lockerooo) and you understand what they are doing, it is incredible to watch. This video on facebook is my favourite video of her: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150124495154696 but she has many on youtube too. Most famously she is on the current US "So You Think You Can Dance" season. Hopefully after this, more people will know about waacking. Coz I'm kinda starting to get tired of explaining to people what it is every time I mention it. :) -
Warum ist "lang" so ein kurzes Wort?
Weil Abkürzung ein langes ist.

Do you need a maid for your Death Star? Cuz im kinda available.
Sorry, we have those little floor polishing droids that do the job rather nicely. That being said, I hear the rebel base on Yavin IV is a pigsty. I also hear they don't check references. Seems like your kind of place.
