A lot of people in my community have been asking how I manage dancing alongside school and other activities, so I wanted to share a few things that help me 🩰📚 • Planning ahead helps me stay organized and reduce stress • Setting priorities reminds me what needs my focus each week • Consistency matters more than doing everything perfectly • Rest and balance are important for both my body and my mind Balancing school and passions isn’t always easy, but with discipline and patience, it’s possible ✨ Everyone’s journey looks different and that’s okay.

Song: Blue Hour - TXT (Tomorrow X Together) 🔥 Why this song works for auditions * Stamina & Breath Control: The constant jumping and "bouncing" rhythm in the chorus is exhausting. If you can dance this with a stable smile, judges immediately know you have excellent stamina. * Versatility (Groove + Sharpness): The verses require smooth, laid-back grooves, while the chorus demands sharp, extended arm lines and high energy. It shows you can switch textures instantly. 🧠 How you should train with this song (important) Do NOT just learn a choreography and film it once. Train it like this instead: * Drill the "Bounce": The core of this dance is the constant up-down rhythm. Practice the footwork without arms first. If your bounce is flat, the whole dance looks low-energy. * Extension Check: In the chorus, your arms need to be fully extended and straight. Film yourself from the side—are your elbows bent when they shouldn't be? Fix your lines. * The "Smile" Drill: This is a "refreshing" concept. Run the dance specifically focusing only on your face. If you look tired, you fail the concept. 🎯 Audition tip Judges don’t care how many choreos you know. They care if you can fully dance one song with control, confidence, and intention. This song is a mirror. Use it properly. 👇 Your task this week Practice this song at least 3 times this week Film yourself once at the end of the week Rewatch it and identify one thing you need to fix (not ten) If you trained this song before, comment “AGAIN”. If this is your first time, comment “NEW”. Let’s train like real trainees https://youtu.be/vyEGqtQ6MEA?si=PCLT-PBtuOloVn1M

We’re turning practice into a system, not a vibe A lot of you said the same thing: “I know what to train… I just don’t stay consistent.” Motivation isn’t the problem.

Happy New Year, CHICADANCE family! We are building something special here, not just a group of dancers, but a real community of trainees dedicated to growth. I am so proud of the energy you all bring, but now it’s time to focus that energy into a clear plan. I want to hear from YOU. What is your biggest dance goal for this year? And how can we assist you in achieving it? Whether you want to pass an audition, finally nail your isolations, or just feel confident freestyling, we are here to make it happen. But remember: real progress happens when we train smart and stick together. For those seeking a structured path, our 30-Day K-Pop Trainee Challenge is the ideal starting point. It’s tough, but the results speak for themselves. Just look at one of our trainees, @Hannah Motruk from Germany! When Hannah joined us, she was passionate but needed help with her dancing. She committed to the program, leaned on this community for support, and didn't give up. Check out her thoughts on the program and her amazing progress video below! 👇 Seeing trainees like Hannah level up is exactly why we are here. She didn't just wish for it; she trained for it, and the whole community cheered her on. Now, let’s hear your story. Drop a comment below and tell us: 1. Your main goal for this year. 2. Are you joining us in any of the programs? Let’s keep each other accountable and make this our best training year yet!
