EnTyce Workshop!!!
I was searching for some Donyelle info at idolforums.com and I found out a lot of great information about Tyce's convention. Benji and Heidi were there as well. Here is Princess_cait 's review as she is LUCKY ENOUGH TO GO!! *is jealous*
Here's the review:
"Entyce was fantastic!! Although the whole time, all I wanted to do was get up and learn the choreography. Stupid expensive fee to participate ...
Let's talk about Donyelle, since that's who this thread is all about. She was AAAAAAAMAZING. Seriously. I wish you all could've experienced this. Her class was third on the list for the Senior Room, which is where I chose to observe. She is a serious teacher... she reprimanded the group for talking while she was teaching, and said that they'd have time for talking once they got the routine down. Her routine was really great - she said it was 'street jazz,' which basically meant hiphop with some turns, lol. Oh! And she had her assistant Tray there with her too. He was cool. I think he might be the one in her second bad dancing vid - the guy that's videotaping her in the mirror. So I tried to remember as much of the choreography as possible, because I really liked it. So towards the end, she talked to the dancers. She said she knew the routine was hard, but she was here to challenge them. She said that if they didn't pick up certain parts of the routine, that was okay, as long as they KILLED the parts they really knew well. She said if they just focused on trying to fix the bad parts, they wouldn't take as much from the class as they should.
Then there was a Q&A after lunch, and random questions were asked. When asked about her fave partner, she said Benji was, and that he was "like her right side" throughout the competition and how they started and ended together.
Um... she said the main person who inspired her was her dance instructor at her church when she did praise dancing in junior high. She said how she learned to move and how each move was centered around God, instead of learning specific techniques, like kicking a certain way or something. I can't remember any other questions worth going over... there was stuff like 'do you have any pets' and 'do you have any siblings,' so yeah.
She came into the Senior Room after that to take the class taught by Chris Jones. I thought it was really cool how, even though she was there to teach, she took a class. THEN. The last class of the day was Tyce's Broadway, and apparently she had been somewhere with Tyce yesterday teaching the same routine to higher-level dancers. Anyway, she dancing in the front of the room (not on the stage with Tyce) and at first I thought she was learning it. But then he mentioned something about the previous day, and said "right Donny?" So yeah. The best part was towards the end, when the students were doing it in groups. Donyelle decided to go out on the floor and dance it, and she KILLED IT LIKE WHOA. Tyce looked so happy - it must be really cool to see someone perform your choreography so well. So then Tyce asked the group "what was unique about what you just saw?" Someone said, "Donyelle," and he said "what about her?" Nobody really answered, and he said "she PERFORMED it." Then he made her do it by herself. I cannot even put into words how amazing she was. She totally added her own style to it, flicking her hair around and making these faces... IT WAS INSANELY AMAZING.
Gahhhhhh I wish you all could've seen it!! Haha, and afterwords, Tyce said that she was amazing and that seeing that had changed his life. He sounded half sarcastic, but he had a point, because seeing someone put that much effort into a routine changes you in some way.
Then all the teachers did routines, and Donny did one with her assistant Tray. It was really cute... a hiphop-ish thing. And several times during it, Benji kept yelling "WORK IT!" Hee.
So that was our day. I was exhausted by the end, and I hadn't even danced. I wish I could've though.
Oh.. pic of me and Donny!!
Thank You SO Much cait!!!
