I think this is a very great idea (as proposed by Jeannie). We all get
to dance together - junior + seniors! Hahaha... So nice. Can use it as
warm-up for ice-breaker, treasure hunt and many many things. IF we
have a dry ice breaker, we can use mass dance as a way to help them
interact with each other too!

yes, mass dance is really a good good good way of bonding and having
fun together, doing stupid actions even. its like the first thing that
comes to my mind when i think of my college and in spore, all the
colleges have their own unique mass dance:) for instance, before/
after /during an event, whenever the mass dance song is played, we
will all come together and dance, whether or not we can remember the
dance, fumble with the steps, but we still have fun doing something
together. so yupp, we can always include mass dance in any event:)

heyyy!

we need volunteers to step out to think of the steps for the mass
dance, ie, choreographing the mass dance:) it doesnt matter if you can
dance or not, as long as you want to lend a helping hand and brain to
think of quirky, stupid, funny actions and steps. then pls do let me
know!:) i cant dance either so yupp, i need help!

hope to get the mass dance steps ready as soon as possible cos we
still need some time to teach the rest of the orientation comm AND the
OOs before we release it to the juniors.

if YOU want to play a part in coming up with IMU's very first mass
dance, then please please please do let me know ya:)

i suck at dancin but think would try to help out since i've the
time....perhaps brain storm after the meetin on mon?

[stard...@hotmail.com]

yoyo!
first things first before thinking of dance steps - choosing a song
for our mass dance!
so peeps, any ideas for the choice of song to be used for the mass
dance, please contribute here, and asap too cos we need to get started
while im still here in KL. its best if the song can be catchy, well
known, lively etc, as long as it can be easily danced to :)

=)

[jennife...@hotmail.com]

maybe we can ask the dance club to think up some steps for us
too.....they're the pros anyway...oh yea,this song is quite funny to
dance to

Sorry I wanted to post since ages ago and I tried so many times but it
didn't work. Must be the settings. I agree with Sowmya and Jennie to
choose 4 minutes. The beat is easy and the tune is great.
