Snapshot Sunday #20

Here we go again! 
It's sunday, so here's the snapshot of the week for you guys:


This one was taken last summer during a performance outside, and we had some lovely weather back then.
There was actually a jump in the choreography and as you can see, the timing is perfect and everyone is up in the air. Thanks to Naomi's mom for taking this photo just at the right moment!



See you next sunday with another snapshot!

Poetry

Sie läuft stundenlang dem Sturm entgegen,
dirigiert den Blitz, den Donner und den Regen.
Ihr Schatten packt die Koffer und geht,
nur sie durchnässt da steht.
Die Wellen tanzen und brechen an Felsen zusammen,
Sie hält den Atem an, hört keinen Herzschlag, denn er ist tief gefangen.
Sie Atmet aus, sie Atmet ein,
Sie Atmet groß Nein sie Atmet klein.
Sie baut sich ihr Traum-schloss aus der Feuchten Erde,
tretet es zusammen und schaut zu wie ihre Träume sterben.
Sie lässt tapfer tränen fließen,
fällt zu Boden und lässt den Himmel Blumen gießen.
Sie krallt sich fest und fällt,
Tod hat sie geholt und sie hat sich ihm gestellt.
Ich puste ihre letzte Kerze aus,
und baue ihr, ihr Traum-schloss aus Sand und Laub.

So this beautiful poem was written by WP member Siham!
I'm sorry that only germans can understand this, but it wouldn't make too much sense if I translated it into english.

Ian Eastwood - "Yonkers"

Hello and welcome to another blogpost!
A couple of hours ago, young L.A. choreographer Ian Eastwood uploaded a new video !
It's to the song "Yonkers" by Tyler, the Creator.

The video is a KubSkoutz production, it's filmed by Nick Demoura and Ryan Parma and edited also by Nick Demoura.
I think it's shot very beautifully with some close-ups of ians face, and also the back-and-white makes the whole thing special and different.




If you'd like to see more of Ian's dancing, definitely check out his YouTube channel!
Also, you can follow Ian and Nick on Twitter!

It was recorded in our trainingscenter which is On stage in Hamburg, germany.

First, you see the whole class doing the combo, and then a smaller group featuring Florence, Tony, Uma and Yvonne and last Naomi and Niloo.

Nick Demoura - KubSkoutz - "Otis"

Brilliant L.A. choreographer Nick Demoura enlightened my day today.. he uploaded a new video and -who would have guessed- it's great! 

The combo itself is as amazing as always (It's to the song "Otis" by Jay-Z featuring Kanye West), but this video is also shot in a very professional way with different camera perspectives, and also the setting, outfits and location are very well chosen.

If that's not enough good stuff already, there is another great thing: He doesn't dance alone, with him are KubSkoutz Ian Eastwood and Jun Quemado.
So it's really worth watching !

For everyone in germany who can't watch this due to copyright reasons: 
paste this link into this website to watch it!


Be sure to follow Ian EastwoodNick DeMoura and Jun Quemado on Twitter !

Poetry - "Feel the Beat"





close your eyes. keep them shut!
concentrate on your breath.
slowly. steadily. never ending.
now listen to the music.
but don't only listen.
feel.
feel the beat.
let it become your own heartbeat.
feel the melody.
let it sink into your soul.
and now move!

move to the rhythms which have become one with you.
leave everything right behind you.
your thoughts. your problems. your worries. your fears.
your hopes, dreams and guesses.
just let it all go, floating away from you.
focus on yourself.
focus on the music.
focus on your body.
and dance!

dance, dance as long as you can.
dance to express what you really feel.
dance to finally become yourself. free. independent. happy. whole.


make it real. just dance.









***



so .. this is a new thing i wanted to try on here .. poetry.
I'm not quite sure if you guys would be interested in poetry, so feel free to leave a comment below and tell me your opinion ;)
This poem is just a result of some spontaneous thoughts in my head which I simply wrote down. It's neither very special nor did I put a lot of work in it, but still.. I think it somehow has a deeper meaning.

Hope you liked it!
