[14:56, 6/11/2018] Marcus Marzipan: Hey Marsha! u leaving for the states already right? Have a safe flight yeah and enjoy yourself while u are there :) soak in the awesomeness and we will see u when u come back!!!!!!!
[17:48, 6/11/2018] marshfolk: Hey Marcus, thanks for the well wishes! Was gonna message Rachel for some dance activities to do but I'll just msg you. I'm heading to D.C. and Baltimore and Salisbury. Gonna do some research of my own but if y'all have any ideas I'll try to fit em in!
[18:36, 6/11/2018] marshfolk: This gon be a long an emotional msg so brace yourselves.
I'm really so thankful for you and Rachel's guidance over the past few months. You guys have no idea how much your classes have helped me in my personal
Discovering you guys was out of pure luck, like swiping right on tinder on someone who's not crazy. I was watching some popping vids on YouTube and saw your tutorial on the Fresno and clicked on it, thinking "ok let's see what this asian american is gonna teach" until I heard the classic Singaporean accent and i was like "wait whaaaaat?" And then I stalked yall, liked your fb page. I think I read about yall in the papers one time but didn't know who you guys were.
And then in December your trial classes showed up on Facebook so I shared your classes with EVERYONE I KNEW and even dragged along my cousin to the waacking class. Dude, I have never been to Scape until I went for your trial class and the whole place was so intimidating with people doing backflips everywhere and loud music blasting from all corners. That was some sick shit man, and I'm so glad that you guys brought me and a bunch of other people into that world!
I've been for open classes here and there but none of em can compare to you and Rachel's classes. I think with a lot of classes and "enrichment" courses, it's merely a transaction between teacher and student with nothing else built upon. One teaches a skill, another learns, that's it, everyone goes home and lives their own separate lives. But you guys build a community and bring people together. I don't know who else throws a massive graduation dance party for all their students from all their dance courses! Along with how you guys always invite your students for sessions outside of class, it's so apparent how passionate you guys are about dance and how you want to share that passion with other people, spreading love and joy in the process. For pros such as yourselves to be so personable by dancing with their students is really remarkable, I'm not sure if other teachers do that lol. You guys genuinely wanna spread the dance culture with everyone -- from its history to its music, to its fashion (lol sorry I'm not giving up my hobo look). Your classes are more than just about techniques!
Aight so that's all I have to say to you guys. Just wanted to share what's been on my mind, you guys aren't obliged to write some cheesy message back haha, I just wanted to let y'all know how much you guys have "touched my heart." ιεΈΈι«ε
΄。
Btw on behalf of Shania and myself, I'd like to thank yall for giving us, myself in particular, massive balls to audition for a popping battle with only a few months of experience!
<33333 PEACE. YOU GUYS RULE!!!!
[18:43, 6/11/2018] marshfolk: Lol I didn't finish the first paragraph: personal life. Blablabla sadness, but your classes and the people were something I looked forward to every week. First dance class I ever took and you guys helped me improve so much, I didn't even expect this much improvement! Yall are amazing at what you guys do.
[22:07, 6/12/2018] Marcus Marzipan: Marsha!!! Thanks for the message :) it's never too Long to say something, just too Long that people don't say things so I'm Glad u did. I didn't know that you first known us through YouTube.... and especially thought that tutorial haha :)
Hope u learnt something from that video and Glad to have then connected through various events and our Programmes! It's a pleasure to teach u and you really have such a special and positive energy!! You are also an inspiration for us to keep pushing on and trying to introduce the gift of dance to more people!!!
Don't ever stop or let anything hold u back in your dance journey, we will be here to help you through it :) let's go far with this and let's definitely build something together ππ
Safe flight and enjoy your holidays! I'll ask rachel to send u some links to connect
