UPDATE FROM TEGAN!

Hi guys, I am a little behind on posting Tegan's update... lets go down memory lane back to the 13th Feb!!!!

Hi Guys,

This week was really fun and different. Througout the year we have guest teachers come to the school and this week we had Michael Schwandt and Keath Hawley.

On Tuesday afternoon we had a two hour class with Michael Schwant. Michael is an American choreographer and stage director. He has worked on TV commercials, music videos and live events. Here are a few of the people he has worked with: Cyndi Lauper, Avril Lavigne, Lady Gaga, Kelly Rowland, David Guetta, The Veronicas and Flo Rida. Pretty impressive!

He has a website if you want to check him out...

Our class started with his warm up. It was pretty fun but extremely hard. We did a lot of sit-ups and push-ups and abit of strethching. We then moved on to the routine which was to “On the floor” by J-Lo. It was such a fun routine and we managed to learn the whole thing which was so good.

On Friday we had Keath Hawley who’s a choreographer and visual designer. He was absolutely amazing and such an inspiring man. We were told by our director to look really pretty if we’re a girl and to look buff if we’re a guy. We were also told not to talk or yawn during his class cause we’ll get kicked out. But once it was time to do his class he wasn’t as scary as everyone made out.

He will be coming back throughout the year and he is someone that we should try to impress as he is extremely well known in the performing arts industry and he’s also always on the look out for talent for the future.

We learnt a jazz dance with him that I loved. It was just such a great class I didn’t want to leave and I can’t wait to have him again in the future. He also has a website if you want to check it out.

Love Teges
