Bodybalance Team-teach

I have finally started on my BB Team-teach. Come to think of it, I probably should have started it much earlier instead of wasting all this time. I was trained in BB back in 2005, even earlier than BC. That was so long ago that I can hardly remember who my coursemates were.

I took 4 tracks for each TT, and so far I have done

2801 - Jesus To A Child (George Michael)
2802 - After All (Delerium)
2803 - Going Under (Evanescence)
2504 - My Immortal (Evanescence)

3205 - Say What You Want (Texas)
3206 - Hope (Twista)
3207 - One Step Too Far (Faithless feat Dido)
3208 - Reach (Gloria Estefan)

Everything has been going smoothly, guess the experience of being on stage helps. No stage-fright, no staring blindly at participants, experience with handling the mic and system has also been useful.

BB is 5 releases ahead of BC, so BB35 is released the same time as BB40. That's easy to remember.

For my first TT, I chose tracks mainly from BB28 because it was a release which made me fall in love with BB. I remember starting out on the program then and thanks to the likes of Haley and Audrey which got me hooked on to the program. I would have chosen 2804 - Diary of Me by R Kelly, another song I love, but I wanted to do another Evanescence track. I love their songs so much.

For my second TT, I simply chose 4 tracks from one release to do. Turned out fine for me.

I know my strengths in teaching LM programs. I am good at remembering choreography, so that is the last of my concerns, and also why I dared to do so many tracks for a first-time TT. One thing though, I do find BB choreo more difficult to remember than BC! Maybe it's cos I do BC so often that everything just comes naturally.

My weakness in BB? Well, Martin says that I can be more 'graceful'. If I were slightly more flexible, it would help alot. And also, I personally find that I need to work a bit on my tone. Should I be more soothing or should I be strong? It's all about finding my BB personality. That will take more time and practice.
