/ Hoo Sze Yen ~ The One and Only | Dancer - Teacher - Website Designer ƒ Zyen’s Webyrinth

Current Team By far the most unique team I’ve ever been part of, this team consists of four unique individuals with his or her own distinct style of dancing who came together to form a dance team to compete, perform, and just to dance. Team Members (from left): Kobee, Andrea, Bronya, me Bronya Bishorek Coach / Choreographer With more than 20 years’ experience in dancing (teaching, competing, performing), Bronya is really the voice that knows what dancing is all about! Website: http://www.bronyabishorek.com Hoo Sze Yen Captain I have no formal dance background, but I have been competing and performing in dance for more than four years now. My best dance style is the lilt - i.e. dancing to any jive or jitterbug music! Kobee Ng Music Master Kobee has been dancing for also little more than four years, so it was only recently that he discovered he has an incredible talent in dancing! He has excellent rhythm, and does locks and pops in a way that really makes you drool. Andrea Loh Creative & Art Andrea is the only one after Bronya to have any formal dance training. Her dance background includes ballet and tap, and she has also taught dancing and choreographed performances. She is a sight to behold when she dances the smooth rhythm. Read more about Team SKAB!

The following are some of the dance teams I have competed with.

THE RHINESTONE COWGIRLS

After my first taste of competitions when I went in solo to the 2nd Equatorial Bangi Line Dance Championship in 2003, I pulled together some of my dance classmates from the line dance class at the gym to form a team for a local friendly competition. We choreographed our own dance, and we practised so hard that we impressed the judges, who included Leong Mei Ling and Bronya Bishorek that they invited the whole team into the Wild West Babes.The following year the team took part in the first Nestle-sponsored line dance championship and were the champion of the Youth division, and won the best performing team of the same division.

THE WILD WEST BABES

After the Rhinestone Cowgirls won the friendly competition in 2003, they were absorbed into the Wild West Babes team who was the champion of all the team categories in the 2nd Equatorial Bangi Line Dance Championship in 2003. We did spectacularly well in the same competition in 2004, with wins from the team as a whole, as well as the numerous individuals.The team has won several competitions, as well as performed in many dance demonstrations.

The Wild West Babes which disbanded in January 2006 was one of the most fun and exciting chapters of my life and I’m very sorry to see it go; but the disbandment was necessary as most of the team members have moved on to new chapters in their own lives. As a tribute to the former glory of the Babes, I am keeping a page on my website as remembrance to the team that has taught me so much, and gave me so much.

JAZZ IN MOTION

When one of the competitions introduced a division for freestyle (modern jazz) for the first time in years, some of my jazz dance classmates jumped at the chance to compete. It being our first time in such a division, and with jazz new to some of us, we didn’t do well but it was expected anyway.This team was formed only to join the competition and has not competed under this name since.

RHYTHM MATRIX

Rhythm Matrix was formed through Bronya’s unique method of extending invitations to her dance students who have shown interest and passion.Out of the two competitions they joined last year, I took part in one which was an open dance competition and we ranked 10th out of 25 teams.
