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!

If passing auditions is your goal this year, read this carefully. A lot of you say your goal is to pass K-pop auditions, but then you spend all your time just practicing K-pop choreographies. Let me be brutally honest with you: If you keep repeating choreographies without fundamentals, your chances of passing an audition are very low. Auditions are not testing how many dances you know. They test: - Control - Basics - Body awareness - How fast you adapt - How clean and trainable you are In this program, I’m sharing with you the exact roadmap I used and experienced as a trainee, the system that actually prepares you for auditions. If passing an audition is one of your goals this year, then this program is for you. And for Batch 1, it’s only €100. What you get inside the Intense Trainee Program: 🎬 Monthly Evaluation Choreographies (Real Trainee Style) Just like when I was a trainee: - Everyone learns the same evaluation choreo - You train it seriously - You submit it - You get evaluated This is how real progress is measured. 🧱 Complete Fundamentals Training We will train the basics dancers skip, over and over: - Bounce & groove - Control & Isolations - Lines & angles - Clean transitions - Stamina & consistency These fundamentals are what casting directors actually look at. 🎥 Live Feedback Sessions This is not just prerecorded content. I will: - Watch your dancing live - Correct your mistakes - Tell you exactly what to fix 🏛️ Practice Hall (Live) At specific times during the week, I’ll be live in the practice hall. You can: - Practice with me, watching - Ask questions - Get instant feedback This simulates an open trainee practice room, online. 📊 Weekly Evaluations & Accountability Every week: - You check in - You post progress - You stay accountable If you don’t train, it shows. If you improve, it shows too. 🩰 New Styles Training You will train multiple styles, not just one: - Hip-Hop - Heels - Lines / clean & feminine execution

Too many talented people get cut for avoidable reasons. I posted a video about it so don't forget to check it out! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS2yXtuiFkr/?igsh=N2hpbDF6cDRpM2dv Don’t let this be you 👇 ❌ Ignoring the basics Messy background, bad lighting, or unclear audio? Judges notice immediately. ❌ Overdoing everything More power ≠ better performance. Focus on control, not chaos. ❌ Choosing the wrong song Pick something that fits your voice and range, not just what’s trendy. ❌ No facial expressions or stage presence Talent matters, but so does charisma. Show them who you are. ❌ Not following the instructions Wrong file name, wrong angle, extra talking = instant red flag. ❌ Lack of confidence Even if you’re nervous, don’t look unsure. Confidence sells potential. ✨ Remember: They’re not looking for perfection. They’re looking for potential, discipline, and star quality. If you’re preparing for auditions, save this, share it! Drop a 💫 if you’re auditioning soon, and comment if you want a PART 2 👀🎤

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. Lack of structure and accountability is. So we’re fixing that. 🗓️ Monthly Dance Bingo Every month, you’ll receive a Dance Bingo Card.
