Look down on JP paralists?... That's sad... 'cuz my PP skills were "manufactured" from JP too... That was the time when Ivan taught me the right way to dance velfarre 2000... i was a mockery back then... Actually there were a lot of good paralists situatin' there at that time... especially some Channel U dancers like Diana, Weixing, Weiwen, Kelvin Ho and some other quick learners I was amazed how they danced that well... I only realise many of 'em find JP gettin' a bit boring after the Jurong Pt Para Para Competition... I only get to see some new learners after that... Weiwen was hardly seen playin' PP in JP after he taught Deja Vu to the whole lot... Now as in the recent JP, those paralists r sure short of a helpin' hand from the mainstream paralists... should we go there some day and help out someday?... I m really willin' to help, but even my "disciple" in JP (called Calvin, a short n plum guy ) is playin' more on freestyle... have they lost hope in true ParaPara?... Haiz... sometimes, even usin' the right manner to teach oso kena rejected by their stubborness... tat's the worst thing i m afraid of... NE suggestions to help out this situation?

Ya.... JP is once the famous place which produce the most para talents. But they are no more that great anymore. However i heard that ice-dancers are reforming liao. Maybe that will help them.

Maybe it's not that they lost hope on para but rather they wanted to tryout something new? after playing so long on para and playing the same song again and again, surely they would 1 2 tryout something new.. moreover, learning para takes alot of determination and will i think.. coz, para is not an easy task and it takes alot of time to learn them..

wat? to me it sounds like feeding the machine wif tokens. this is a total waste of money. considering that the pp2 machines has limited songs, i rather they going to the paradigm and train instead. they will surely make full use of the 10 bucks they spend in there and learn new songs..... the most get victor, from OPX, to teach them.......

The machine is not a waste of money. Let's just say that it helped me in learning Deja Vu back in August... if not for the machine I probably wouldn't be able to dance Deja Vu well.
We all should always 'yin shui shi yuan'... it's the machine that gave us Para Para, no matter how it is, treat it with respect. As for the part about Paradigm - thanks but no thanks. I'd rather practice at home. I don't even need to spend a single cent.

ya.. i agree with EP.. paradigm is much more waste money than playing on the machine.. playing on the machine can fine tune our steps and see how well we far.. while dancing at paradigm.. we can only dance for 'display'. moreover, paradigm is way too xpensive.. $10.. u noe?? hehe..

Sidetrack abit, Darren dun delete my post hor! I dun think playing on the machine is a waste of money. Arcade is a public place. When you play, the public sees you and they get to know how nice para can look if danced properly. Planet Paradigm isn't. They have to play 10 bucks to see you dance and I believe they wun do that. In fact, the machine promotes para 100x more the planet paradigm so I'd rather play on the machine. And on learning new songs.. let's just say that I'd prefer to fine tune the songs I know and progressively learn new ones rather then learning the new ones and forget about those old songs. I tried to dance as nice as possible. Just ask yourself, have anyone in Singapore danced Night of Fire as nice as PPA? Well, IMO it's more important to target quality than quantity.

Yup, think...at least for those "older" paralists anyway, i don't think they learned their para from VCDs. I bet they started off from the machine arcades just simply clearing the arrows until the PPA came into sight and they began to learn step by step, bit by bit, then the PPS (stadium) came and we were all learning Night of Fire like mad rite? I was just improving on KC's point, that no matter how far u've gone, how good you are, you should not forget your roots, not only for para, but for every other thing as well, there were times when i was simply sick of the machine, but up to now i'm still not tired of playin it. And arcade one round of para cheapest i can find is 50cents, go to planet paradigm = 20 rounds of para person, so if i go para to arcade with lets say, 10 frens, with the same amt of money , we can play 200 rounds of para!

happybaby (ok guys go invert the name) I don't think we really say despise or look down on other Paralists who are trying to learn along - I think it's just a kind of thinking that you are afraid to perform in front of who you think is better than you. You may be surprised that you may be better one way or another - pioneers does not equal to best, or on top - it only meant they started early, have more experience.
As for 'dunno how to dance' and 'anyhow dance', I think there's really a clear line. If you do try to have an effort to do the Para, trying to follow what the CG doll does, I believe the more friendly and experienced Paralists will recognise your efforts and sooner or later will come up to you and introduce themselves. Para Para is never about individualism; it's always about group spirit - it's DIFFERENT watching a person dancing Para Para and a whole group of them doing the same thing.
Finally, I may admit people are still trying to learn from the CG doll in 2nd Mix (sorry experienced guys I just did - I finally got 95% or more in confidence for dancing Stay's Para Para) so every now and then we are still improving ourselves from the machine - well at least for me.
Cantare Ballare!
