The Official Michael Jackson Memorial Party!!!!

This event is co-sponsored by the ALIVE Foundation (Seoul Korea).

From era to era, decade to decade, Michael Jackson was a musical light that brightened the hearts and ears of his time. Last year he passed away and left behind fans and a musical legacy comparable to none.

So…
Once a year for the rest of your life, you need to get OFF THE WALL and ROCK the NIGHT AWAY to this music. Michael Jackson on the 1’s and 2’s.

DJ Mixes by

DJ Kevin “Oilcan” Boyd (meant to get you loose)

DJ Dante Threats (meant to make you fall in love)

DJ Ian Robertson (meant to get you elevated)
Dance by
Eshe & Navah

Be our guests for the night and dance.
(For those of you who can’t miss the world cup Brazil game at 11PM it will be showing in the lounge)

You will need:
1. Dancing shoes and sweat proof clothing.

2. You favorite Michael Jackson paraphernalia.
Examples: loose neck white socks and black shoes/ sequin or white gloves/ aviator shades/ bow tie/ a jeri-curl wig/ red leather jackets or red leather anything…and cover-up make up foundation 2 & 1/2 shades lighter than your actual complexion (I am joking about the last one).

3. A “Pay What You Can” (no less than 5,000 KRW) cover charge donation that will go towards the ALIVE Foundation.

A prize will be awarded for the best impersonations.

Can’t wait………

******************

Introducing The ALIVE Foundation (Seoul based NGO)

“Aware. Lead. Inspire. Vulnerable. Environment”

ALIVE is based on 5 core elements – all of which support the idea that every aspect of life is precious; offering essential services/outlets in the lives and communities of South Korea where none have existed before.

Those things you thought were missing will now be available.

We will be starting by opening a 24hr Suicide Prevention Call Center. (SPCC) *with the help of you & your contributions!! (Thank-you!)*

SPCC aims to alleviate & transform the current reality with suicide in Korea.

Did you know?
• 35 Koreans a day commit suicide in South Korea
• This number has doubled in the past decade and is now the highest in the industrialized world.
• It is the fourth leading cause of death overall, after cancer, stroke and heart disease.

This means, someone closer than you think could be considering suicide.

얼 라이브 (ALIVE)는 개개인의 삶 모든 부분이 중요하다는 아이디어를 바탕으로 우리나라에서 지금까지 필요 했었지만 보지 못했었던 서비스를 중점적으로 제공해 본인이 원하는 방향으로 삶을 성장시켜 줄 5개의 핵심 요소를 가지고 있습니다.
여러분은 본인의 삶이 어떤 방향으로 나아갔으면 좋겠습니까? 저희는 당신의 아이디어가 필요합니다. 이것보다 어떻게 더 좋아지죠?

What would YOU like to see in Korea? We would love your input!

This month we’re extending the FREE class offer to all Earth classes the 1st time you attend. The new session starts ★this★ Thursday April Fool’s Day.

Feel free to forward this info to any ladies you know that would benefit from letting dance into their lives.

Here are this month’s music and choreography notes. Inspirational vids and words follow.

★★★Instructor: Natalia ★★★
Style: Orientale (Sunday 2PM, 3PM) 2:00 is FREE the 1st time
“Bounce” by Solace

Sweet shimmies and fun drum accents. This choreography focuses on a variety of shimmies, bumps and drops.

Solace’s music is produced with a story in mind, a theme, as a book without words, including dialogue between the characters (instruments), and story development in chapters (songs). The music is classical middle-eastern with excursions into electronica.

★★★Instructor: Kala★★★
Style: Tribal Fusion (Sunday 12PM, 1PM) 12:00 is free the 1st time
“ Clouds” by Cibo Matto

Learn a mix of funky pop and locks and airy shimmies.

Cibo Matto was a New York City-based band formed by Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda in 1994. Despite being based in the US rather than Japan, they have strong links with the shibuya-kei scene in their use of sampling and mixture of trip-hop and rock, but stand out amongst other such artist for their particularly strong use of Latin and South American music.
Notes: https://navahdance.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/clouds-by-cibo-matto/

★★★Instructor: Shailee ★★★
Style: Tribal Fusion (Sunday 4PM, 5PM) 4:00 is free the 1st time

“ My Darling” (Feat. Pee Wee) by Ralph Myerz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7miIrEDNhU8&feature=related

Smoothly hit the beats of this cool, downtempo song from a Scandanavian turntablist.

Notes: https://navahdance.wordpress.com/2010/03/28/my-darling-feat-pee-wee-by-ralph-merez/

★★★Instructor: Eshe ★★★
Style: Ambient
“Abbas Aga Park” by Babazula (Turkish Oriental Dub) Monday 6PM, 7PM
6:00 is free the first time

With its specifically unique sound created by melding traditional Turkish musical instruments with electronic elements, Baba Zula has brought a brand new dimension to Turkish Folk Music. Baba Zula’s music is basically an amalgamation of recorded natural sounds with both traditional and modern acoustic and electronic musical instruments, a culmination of disparate electronic effects.

This choreography will feature soft spins and lots of internal body work with grace and power.
Notes: http://eshenavah.livejournal.com/56788.html

★★★Instructor:Eshe ★★★
Style: ATS (American Tribal Style)

Dusty Road by Fanfare Ciocarlia (Balkan) Tuesday 7PM, 8PM & Saturday 10AM, 11AM
7:00 and 10:00 are free the 1st time

Fanfara Ciocarlia is a brass band of Gypsy heritage that adeptly manages to straddle two very different worlds. The band blends elements of the music from Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria and the Gypsies. Its musicians take pride in their ability to play as an extremely fast and tight unit, utilizing timpani, trumpets, horns, and clarinets. In this choreography we will study fast paced ATS moves like Water Pot and Ghawazee Combo with work on fades, flourishes and turns.

http://eshenavah.livejournal.com/56277.html

★★★Instructor: Eshe ★★★
Style: Orientale “Roustabout (Remix)” by Beats Antique (Circus) Thursday 7PM, 8PM saturday 12PM, 1PM
7:00 and 12:00 are free the first time
Rostabout is a sickening, demented, and maniacally fun track that has so many Halloween-like features that film director Tim Burton would surely appreciate. This dance will focus on snakey moves, smooth transitions and powerful poses.
http://eshenavah.livejournal.com/56384.html

★★★Inspirational Vids:★★★
The first 2 were recommended by Jillina

★★★Inspirational Words from Rumi:★★★
“The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.”
“You already have the precious mixture that will make you well. Use it.”
“Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.”
“Appear as you are,
Be as you appear.”
“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”
“What was said to the rose that made it open was said to me here in my chest.”
“Outside ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.”
“This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whomever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.”

Get ready to sweat in this hour-long workout with shimmies, layers, pops, locks, traveling and more. Come, shake out the stress and have fun.
