Joel and I were so fortunate to have Loraine come for a short visit to Vancouver this April. After having 2 full days packed with lessons, lectures and workshops, we are re-inspired again to dance from within, to search for the truth and to pass it on to our beloved students!... Loraine covered so many essential topics that included: usage of the tailbone, figure 8 hip action, foot pressure and foot propulsion, circling energy flow, ...]]> http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=2192 0 http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2171 http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2171#comments Wed, 13 Mar 2013 00:22:36 +0000 Clara Shih http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2171 It was yet another fun-tastic event at the UBC Gala Ball this past weekend!!! You never really know what to expect, as the executives are always a brand-new group of kids every year, presented with this massive undertaking of putting on a full-on competition for the local DanceSport community. This year, the execs definitely did not disappoint. They showed everyone their unbridled spirit and enthusiasm towards dancing, that (as I know from experience) can only come out of being at the UBC Dance Club! ]]> http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=2171 20 http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2153 http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2153#comments Tue, 04 Dec 2012 21:09:36 +0000 Clara Shih http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2153 Big shoutout to all executives of the UBC Dance Club for putting together a great party. We didn't get to Holiday Ball until after the dinner was served, but there looked to be some very impressive looking food left over on the table. There were the usual party games, including the infamous Vogue and the Limbo contest, as well as a bunch of prizes to be won. ]]> http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=2153 349 http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2133 http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2133#comments Tue, 02 Oct 2012 21:57:06 +0000 Clara Shih http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2133 This past Sunday, the JC Dance Co Performance Team had an awesome workshop with Canadian Swing Champions, Miles Munroe & Tessa Cunningham. We learned a bunch of Lindy Hop moves and some cool lifts! Unfortunately, I was too busy being thrown in the air by Joel to take photos, so there are no compromising shots...]]> http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=2133 15 http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2119 http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2119#comments Sat, 08 Sep 2012 23:48:30 +0000 Clara Shih http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2119 ]]> http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=2119 14 http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2111 http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2111#comments Wed, 22 Aug 2012 23:27:52 +0000 Clara Shih http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2111 Robson Square. What can I say... I've always enjoyed the free open air dances at Robson Square and was quite disappointed the years that it was cancelled for renovations. Now that there are only 2 nights left, I feel somewhat sad that it is coming to an end. :(]]> http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=2111 18 http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2088 http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2088#comments Sun, 22 Jul 2012 22:44:37 +0000 Clara Shih http://jcdanceco.com/blog/?p=2088 Last night, JC Dance Co. did a show at the Four Seasons hotel in downtown, Vancouver.

Come out and watch the unveiling one of our newest shows; it's a bit of a Latin fusion (including elements of Cha Cha, Samba & Rumba) to J Lo's 'Get on the Floor'.
