Kinjaz DOJO dreams never end.

The KINJAZ DOJO video is a sneak peek of how it looks like inside the building. It's huge and a spacious one, this DOJO will help a lot in the dance community. As what I've heard-purpose of building this DOJO is to spread the knowledge of dancing, and improve one another. This is a very wanted place for most of the dancers around the globe. Many are inspired by this group(KINJAZ) they show dancers that even though they look funny and silly when they put some comedy on their routines but you can see its foundation and how precise and synchronize they are when dancing. Most of the members of KINJAZ are Asian but they are against racism when dancing we have to be united to create a spectacular, crazy, and awesome group that you can treat as a family. 

Based on my research KIN - means Brotherhood then specifically KINJAZ is a combination of the word KIN and NINJAZ, that's why they wear a mask not every time but most of the time they perform because that's their signature. The group consists of different genres' showing a lot of versatility and full of knowledge. As the year goes by I want to see this DOJO improve and grow. Giving satisfaction to the dancers who avails their class. I know they acquire it already because KINJAZ(the members of the group) are responsible people, and has a lot of things to teach dancers.

this video was released about a week ago, maybe it's fully furnished now, can't wait to see the finished DOJO and the class videos that will be taken there.

I envy those people (whose status in life are in the middle and upper class) that can afford their DOJO dance lessons. Someday it is my dream to meet KINJAZ and dance with them not as a group but as an individual that can appreciate every move you make. No criticism, just a bunch of advice and improvement techniques in dancing. I've been following KINJAZ not for so long but I was inspired by them they are funny people just like the members of my dance group. Got a little bit of knowledge in dancing too but, has to make a lot of improvements in making a choreography. Hoping that one of the KINJAZ, any member of them even if I don't know them. Because most members that I've known is Anthony Lee, Mike Song, Vinh Nguyen, Pat Cruz, and the Twinjaz(the one with the curly hair and do b-boying). 

Someday, soon this KINJAZ DOJO will make a name in the history of dancing. Just don't forget what it's purpose and intentions. Time goes by another generation of the dancer will continue this legacy that they've started. I do support KINJAZ in a way that money is not involved. I'm not that rich person to go with their workshops but through the internet, I learned a lot. It is not a wall that doesn't let you pass if you don't have money, you just have to find a way how to learn and grow. It is a pleasure and a dream come true if I meet one of the members of KINJAZ, if that will happen I would like to take any advice, that can give improvements and techniques in dancing so that I can be a better dancer and a performer to the audience or people around me watching.

Health tips for a dancer.

Dancing is a form of art which you express thru movement and emotions is shown by the facial expression, every dancer must know that health is very important because in this field dancers move every time the result of it are sweats. Dancers must take care of themselves, how can they dance if physically they're not healthy. If a dancer goes to practice it is a must that they must bring towels to wipe their sweaty, drink a lot of water and change clothes every time when it will be full of sweat. Dancers must also have a limit of time practicing but most of the dancers usually practice  3 to 5 hours.

As what the old saying " health is wealth " that's why it is very essential to take proper exercise and eat a lot of healthy foods. This is not only for the dancers but also for all the people around the globe that must get a healthy lifestyle.

Dancers must practice the same way as the athletes like doing some jog and hiking early in the morning, have a proper diet, and eat healthy foods. Do some lifting to improve muscles so that when dancers execute a dance step it will not look sluggish.

Take vitamins to improve the immune system, I am giving this tips because I am also a dancer. These are my observation and experience in dancing these past 3 years. Feel free to comment and put some other suggestions below. This way we can make other dancers who don't know yet how important health is. Not only for the dancers but all other people in this world must know how to take care of their selves.

How it is to be a student and a dancer.

We all can relate to this, as a student and a dancer in my experience and I know as well as yours. It is very hard because we have a very complicated time, in the morning we go to school and after that, at night time we have a dance practice. It is very tiring but it can ease all the stress in the school because when you dance you will forget the school works for a while, but it is a must not forget the school works. You must work your obligations in school. Sometimes you are tired when getting up because of the hard training's, especially when your group is preparing for a big event. For me, it is very hard to be a dancer here in the Philippines, because we lack financial support. We are not in the middle-class people, some of us are. But we find ways because we dancers love performing we are like jesters for other people but we know in our mind and heart that we love what we do it doesn't matter what others call us.

Video by: Jorell Jao, performance was not the clean and sync, but the crowd has gone crazy. They feel our fighting spirit at this performance. You, what can you say about our performance? you can comment it below. Dancers are like nocturnal, it is because we are lively at night and tired at morning, we don't have regular vitamins and food supplements that we take every day except for the dancers who can afford to buy it. We only eat a lot of rice, that's what Filipino dancers are. As a student also we must aim to take high grades but let's all face the reality that if it's only a passing grade we all know that we are so happy with that. Dancing at night is a very strong stress reliever it can take all away what you feel inside because you express it by dancing. It is better than using the prohibited drugs and alcoholic drinks. I hope that dancers will be treated professionally and respectfully by others. Because every performance is a shed of sweat, blood, and hard work to give the audience a hell of a performance. Sorry for the word. That's what I experienced what dancers are like in also being a student.

Choreo cookies without the stars.

This is their performance at the world of dance San Diego, their newest performance. Many have been worried because of what they reveal on their performance at body rock, it is when they announced that Keone and Mari will not dance in cookies anymore, and other star dancers on cookies. Many thought that it will not be the same Choreo cookies again but yes it is not the same but it is strong and unique as usual, the great dancers of cookies leave a great foundation to their members. Still, Carlo Darang the director of cookies continues to perform with them also the great Chris Martin. Chris martin's choreography was so intense unique and very refreshing to the eye. It is very calm yet powerful dance steps and a lot of control, emotions, and the stability of the steps it is when they do sit on the ground lift their both feet and doing executions on their whole body. How gracious it was when they perform cookies expresses that even though others had left cookies they are still the unique and always fresh "choreo cookies".
Video by: World Of Dance, a great stage at WOD San Diego and hyped up the audience.
They always perform with all of their heart. From head to toe, the costume fits very well with the concept of their dance, so clean and very light to the eyes. I want to see more from "choreo cookies", one of the groups that inspire me a lot. How I wish I can meet them in person. And dance together with them if I don't have a problem financially going to their place. I want to go through with their auditions if they will have auditions. Choreo cookie fan here just stating my own opinion on their performance.

Keone and Mari Madrid Performs (How Does It Feel) by D Angelo

The video was uploaded on August 1, 2015. It is a piece that they created for their workshop. Showing all the aspiring dancers how good they are and how strong their connection with each other. Apparently, Mari just celebrated her 30th birthday last November 4, 2015. The couples showcase here are so synchronized there's no way I can find better than them in my opinion, and in this field of dancing. They inspire a lot of people especially couples who are dancing together.  Keone is one of a kind dancer I can say he's a legend in dancing. Mari also is a contemporary dancer I can't deny the fact that her emotions while dancing are so distinguished and shown boldly by my eyes. I like the way how they do combos in their dance the timings everything is so perfect. I get goosebumps every time I see them perform. Their body is so versatile and has a lot of control.

Another piece from the married super idol couples, choreography at its best.
This Dance piece was performed at TMSI XI. Showing all of the dancers how the both of them are so connected with each other.
The students in this video also shown how interested and persevere they are to learn the piece. They are like the original doing the dance piece even though it is not the full choreography that they learned. How I wish I can reach this awesome dancer and can learn a lot of dancing tips and techniques from them. The music of D Angelo shows a lot of emotions, the beat fits his lyric tightly. Keone and Mari made a partner class and on the video, they have some tips on how to execute and do it correctly. Said by Mari " you just have to have connection and teamwork, it's not just you on the choreography but you have to be mindful also to your partner. Like the both of them, Keone and Mari had different body type height and structure, so everyone needs to make the adjustment. It takes communication and respect for your partner." Second tip from Keone " its kinda reminder of dance being social even though it is a partner class we got to change partners. it is to show the social aspects of dance to share it with other people." The third and last tip would be a willingness, it all starts with you if you're willing. You might grow with somebody either they know you or not. Tips from the awesome couple. 

Watchyourstep from Cebu city Philippines.

I am part of this group, way back on how many struggles we had when our leader is making this set of dance and on how we as a member struggled cleaning the steps to make the audience be satisfied and to show them the message of our dance. Many sweats are being poured on our practice ground. Every day we do a lot of hard training's to fulfill our desired set. We chose to wear all black to represent rugged and fighting students to show that we can fight not in a bad way, but on the dance floor to show people what we got. This day on our performance is the day that was waiting for, all the pain, stress, struggles, and fun is now getting ready to set the stage. All our friends and families from Cebu are very supportive. We gather also our strength from them. This is it, in my opinion, this performance was so perfect for me even though were not that strongly synchronize, it is perfect because all of my group mates gave their all in this performance.

We did our very best in this performance, we did not bring home the bacon but for our families and friends we are the only champion for them we gave our all on that day, and we never stop dreaming.

There was a technical error so sad that the music was cut by the operator we did complaint it but they didn’t give a sorry, told us that, that was it. We had a technical run on our music and they already knew about it. So sad we did not finish completely our performance we all are so eager. Our leader said that was it we can no longer repeat it, just be proud because our leader saw us that we give our all and did our best. Another journey to move on and other competitions to prepare for. we are satisfied because we got there far from our home because of the talent we got. Though we did not get the champion we are all happy and satisfied because we got there far from our home because of the talent we got.
