Check out the craziest new dance moves to the latest, greatest tunes in BODYJAM 42. Jammers all over the world will love the simplified choreography while still retaining that amazing high that comes with the sensation of dance.

The warm up starts with a super simple Club feel to clear the dance floor and drop into the feel of Jam. The isolation track is the bangin' new Tambourine from Eve and, as always, it's designed to help you dance better later in the class. The song is massive so careful not to BREAKOUT from the start!

Hook into a hypnotic Cha Cha Cha rhythm with classic Latin steps we drill over and over for success. Then J-Lo kicks and your technique tightens to accentuate the Latin furore.

The Heel Lift to Rihanna's Umbrella could possibly be the coolest move we've ever done in BODYJAM - the moves sync with the beat harmoniously. Then we "Throw Away" the arms to the same accent in the music, like you're throwing party dust on the crowd!

Then throw your load round the back for a massive hip swing. Grrove Armada have outdone themselves with Get Down, the most feakin' amazing song of the year! There are two massive BREAKOUT opportunities here. Keep working with the house feel, leaning outside, light on your feet, weight on your toes. Then the Freemasons take us home (again!!) with an amazing breakout club feel to take your class through the essence of BODYJAM.

The BODYJAM education session introduces the "tip button". The button pops up on the DVD screen at inervals during the Masterclass and gives a detailed breakdown of that block of choreography.

Excerpt from the Between Deadlines column in the Inquirer:

BETWEEN DEADLINES
Clueless in Congress, and the same alma mother

***

That famous email. If you have an email account, chances are you've gotten at least one copy of a hilarious short story stitched together from Filipino-English malapropisms, the one that begins: "We've been friends for a long time ago. We come from the same alma mother."

As it turns out, "A Love Story" (re-titled "The?!" in some emails, "You're barking at the wrong leg" in others) was written as a joke by GMA Network news reporters Tina Panganiban-Perez, Kara David, Ruth Cabal, Joseph Morong, Nelson Canlas and Aubrey Carampel. Gosh, you never can tell.

Some of the malapropisms, connect me if I am wrong, can be traced to a beauty queen, an actress-turned- politician, even a former President. But most of those included in what is possibly the year's most forwarded email were coined by these creative journalists while killing time in coverage or waiting for interviews. (Yes, it's true good to be true.)

Reporters on the Commission on Elections (Comelec) beat saw it start. Once, barred from entering the Palacio del Gobernador building to cover Lintang Bedol's first appearance before the commission after his arrest, they fumed when another reporter managed to sneak into the Comelec building. Under the searing midday sun, Panganiban-Perez quipped: "'Pag nakita natin siya sa taas, sabihin natin: 'Well, well, well, look do we have here...'"

It was enough to crack up the agitated group, and other malapropisms were exchanged the rest of the day. By evening, Perez texted her colleagues a partial list of "Worlds of Wisdom." A few days later came the first version (as conceptualized by David) of "A Love Story."

The group later uploaded a longer version of the story on to their personal websites and blogs. Then it began to circulate on the Internet, reaching Vancouver, Hong Kong and Bangkok, among many other cities -- without any attribution, however, to the authors or their websites. The nerd!

Issues over intellectual property rights notwithstanding, the group composed a sequel, titled "Sinetch si Jeff," and then a pressed release from "Genie-fer," the lovestruck girl in the first story, in a spirited defense of, well, her use of the English language.

"A Love Story" continues to gain in popularity. As for the authors, let's cut them some slacks. Perez said she and her friends want to make it known that they can speak good, grammatically correct English. "Worlds of Wisdom" is simply a diversion, albeit one that has become a rebounding success. N. Dizon
