For 95% percent of musicians and bands, the ultimate goal is to perform a show in front of a live audience. But in order to put on an acceptable performance, there are a few things a band should do in preparation.
This is no Show-off
Tip 1) Practice. Of course this is a given. But I mean practice correctly and efficiently. Play your entire set all the way through. Musicians need to get their stamina up. You can tire out quicker than you think once you get on that stage with hot lights shining down and you rock out non stop for the entire set. Also in practice, listen to each other. Be aware of what every one in the band is playing at all times. This will help you “click” better during performances.
Big Talk
Tip 2) Come up with a set list. You never really want to go into a gig and just decide after each song what you are gonna play next. This can cause some problems and might stress some of the band out. Have a plan, and this will help everyone feel a little relaxed because they know whats coming up.
Tip 3) Be prepared to make changes and adaptations during the show. Discuss as a band that slight changes might need to be made to the setlist during the show. If the audience responds better to the upbeat stuff, then decide as a band if you will play what the audience responds best to, or if you just want to play straight through the set and hope the crowd doesn’t get bored.
Tip 4) Know how you are going to transition from song to song. One sign of a newbie band is when after a song is over, they all get quiet, tune their guitars for 2 minutes, talk to each other, and make the crowd wait in awkward silence for the next song. Have one (or more) member of the band talk to the crowd, continue to feed them energy. If the crowd gets super pumped during a song, don’t let that adrenalin and fun die down as soon as it’s over. Talk to the crowd, joke around a bit (as long as it is entertaining and not awkward), thank everyone, pitch your album or merch (but don’t overdo this), or just jump right into the next song and keep everyone buzzing.
Tip 5) BE CREATIVE. Come up with some entertaining and original stuff to display during your show. Audiences love being surprised in a good way. If it’s cool, they will respond well and you will have something that sets your band apart from most other (non major) bands that they see in local venues.

By working together, academics can generate a set of good questions that need to be answered in order to understand social reality, and journalists can provide the sort of rich factual basis to determine whether these theories have purchase as well as generating new theoretical questions.”

Skate Fitness and Students Keeping Active Through Education (S.K.A.T.E. Club)
Now, many people keep asking “Why would you call this WordPress.Com site SKATEFITNESS?”
That’s a very good question. The reason is simple. Students Keeping Active Through Education with Fitness is the greatest exercise you can have. Students Keeping Active is so broad.
It could be: Students staying physically involved with philanthropy(501(3)C, Awareness Groups and community-volunteer involvement), Civic Clubs(Like: Fraternities, Cliques, Societies, Coveted Gangs, Dance Clubs, Small Business Affiliations, Corporate Affiliations and so on…), Employment(For-Profit or Non-Profit), Athletics(Traditional Sports and Action Sports), or just staying busy(drinking a beer, smoking a bowl or writing a book). Keeping Active Through Education is much more simple to explain: you are a student every day at every moment in life. You will never stop learning, so that means you are always being Educated.
Thus: SKATEFITNESS.
We, as a Union(UNITY-COMMUNION or COMMUNITY), with For-Profit, Non-Profit, 2 scholastic chapters, and High School Volunteer Litter Crew, have given our very heart to become an established Service to any single person, any single agency, any single government, any single institution and any single entity of inspiration.
SKATEFITNESS is just another way to give thanks to those young high school students that gave their heart to change the status-quo.
Now that you know that, Students Keeping Active Through Education or SKATE Club is a club that every single living thing can partake in, come show some love to those that we are inspired by:
THE SKATERS THEMSELVES!!!!!!
THANKS GOES OUT TO THESE WIILD BRED BADAZXSES like Corey Kennedy from the REAL FRONTIER
We gotta love these kind of people!
Bottem line and moral of this story: Love your freedom, enjoy life and always be a Student Keeping Active Through your Education. It’s a beautiful thing.
SKATE DAY 2013 is an event that we want everyone to enjoy on the 8th day of each month. Please, just enjoy your friends on that day and SKATING will be a fun-day on the 8th day of every month

The Power-Slide is one of the most prominent activities of Rally, Drift, and Circuit Racing. This video is clearly one of the reasons why University of Washington’s Relay For Life Team Power-Slide has such a strong following and is steadily rising to the T.O.P.
Here is an example:

The only thing cooler than finding the right connection to become a portion of history is the timing before finding the right connection. Ryan Scott Depuy is a Rockstar, that will forever be remembered as an elite soccer player.
The 17th is the day that Adopt-A-Street will honor his presence in the Lake Stevens Hip Hop Club’s Hall of Influences.
Just like Hip Hop Club always does; here is the next step in the North West Takeover; EDUCATION

Even cooler, Emerald City Athletics Club has a Hip-Hop Room that is being deemed a Throne of the North West and nobody has claimed it…… ….yet.
On the 17th of December, we will see what this food drive can do for hip-hop.
Popular Dances
John Martin made a really good point about the Generation of Dancing: “If the graybeards are satisfied with the old conventional ideas of dancing, the youngsters demand something with more vitality.They have NO interest in comparing bits of decorative design with other bits of decorative design for the sake of test-experience..young people are not usually conspicuous for their partonage of serious aspects of the arts, and it is therefore distinctly worth nothing that, this outstanding art movement of our day, is a young peoples movement. So, when did we move into this generation or new era when music and dance hit the scene harder than “Can You Do The Twist?” I suppose it all started when Digital Underground did the “Humpty.” Later trends followed as DJ UNK promoted the “Walk It Out” and “The Two Step, ” while Ciara also introduced the “One,Two-Step.” Cash Camp was apart of such genre with “Crank Dat Yank” which was inspired by teen sensation, Souljaboy… with the teen sensational “Crank Dat Soulja Boy” and other strange songs about dance like “My Dougie.” This inspired a whole generation of babyboomer-babies-babies.. Now, their are others like the “Stanky Legg” by Gs Boys. Note: they really are just boys (being boys). The same group inspired the dance “Booty Doo.” And we can’t forget about “Snap Your Fingers” by Lil’ Jon; the song that tought people to lean and rock sequentially. But this is not anywhere near Bay Area ledgend, Mac Dre, whom started in the time of Digital Underground with his One Hit Wonder, “Thizzle Dance.” I mean, who could forget that? Laugh-Out-Loud, thats a dumb question. A lot of people can’t even recognize this very popular name. So, let’s get back to what we were saying. The new era of dance phenoms includes “The Jerk” by New Boyz. Needless to say, they inspired more young people to dance their way into the million-dollar life style, like the current phenom “Teach Me How To Dougie” by Cali Swag District. Of course within the timeframe of their developments, their were other songs that tought dances without labeling them as such, but using the lyrical material as catchy key signatures, like Dem Franchise Boys with the late-great “Oh I think they like me” and Young Joc “It’s Going Down(motorcycle dance).” Chris Brown contributed to the efforts by adding the “Run It” single platinum one hit wonder. As you see, its preposterous to think that it’s uncommon for the majority of the youth to dance. Its even more uncommon to think that, those who dance, don’t compose music. As you can also believe, music and dance go hand in hand and is also the new basis for a successful chance at making it “BIG” in the music industry. Now I, being a man of a humble faith (or so they have said) do not find the majority of these to be within my range of style or beliefs, however, it is possible for you to find a crease in todays media if you apply a little ignorance, and make yourself stand out with a hint conceite. So, be sure you know what your dancing to before you call it “cool…” Dance for passion, hobby or interest, not because it will give you friends. I mean, look; PSY, an international language of foreign decent can unite a whole globe 780,551,023 strong as of 11/21. “Gangnam Style,” is indefinitely a record shattering dance on YouTube. It’s imperative to see the versatility of dance in music. Both, music and dance go hand in hand. This is MONA signing out. LOVE.
Generation: MonHarch vs. Monarch
Have you wanted to be a KING?
Have you ever dreamed of being a Queen?
What about a Prince? or Princess?
Being part of a royal family is more than just territory.
Have you ever heard of a Duke?
Or an Earl?
Maybe you have thought of owning your own palace or consolate.
Many dream of these different titles, but how many monarchs do you know of besides the seasonal butterflies?

Dancing Hollywood
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oUidzvutFTI
First off, let me start by saying: Hollywood is great. Hollywood sucks, Hollywood is real, Hollywood is Fake.
Now that we have neutralized your opinion, the most important thing to remember about Hollywood is that, they have been creating everything you can think of since you could of it with money. Before Shakespear, they would pay nobles to find talent and if the talent was not convincing, they would slaughter them with lions.
So, what is so great that this deserves any of my time? Well, because Hollywood made our dance careers a field and not just a hobby. I am a dancer. It’s something I am not ashamed of and their is a lot of cultural differences, diversities, conflictions, remedies and joys of living life as a dancer.
With this blog, however, the goal is to acknowledge what it means to the dancers that Hollywood supports them and their craft. Sure, you have So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing With The Stars, Americas Best Dance Crew, America’s Got Talent and the famous, Soul Train. If you would like the complete list, you can find this info @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Dance_television_shows.
Now, this is beautiful and all, but why would I care to write about TV when I am a dancer? Shouldn’t I be practicing my craft? In fact, when you watch such things as these, hear the critiques and analyze for yourself, you are practicing. We will call it “pre-practice.”
So when is the test?
MY BLOG EXACTLY:
Dance has always been so influential, I can’t say who started it, but among the most popular choices among the youth; You Got Served with B2K, Marquise Houston, that hott chick in all the B2k music Videos and the Hott Chick known as the Queen of Dance movies.
Its strange that I call her the Queen of Dance movies, but you see why she needs no name? Lets see; Stomp the Yard with Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, and the Queen of Dance.
Step Up is awesome, but I don’t know much about it.
Step Up 2 is the best of the set
and Step Up 3, which is very giggly, emotional and punctually about college advertisement.
Stomp the Yard 2
These were the beginnings of the dancing/Hip-hop culture craze, but the only one topping You Got Served is, you guessed it ; Save The Last Dance with the ever-so-charming Julia Stiles.
It’s worth it to put more into this blog, but those are the only ones I know that are true enough to make it into the top 6. What are we missing?
